[edit] Neutrality

This isn't really neutral. It's biased towards MNG - in particular, the last line makes it sound like MNG-VLC is a smaller format than APNG. Secondly, it's been established that AMNG's multiple-image format doesn't violate the PNG standard and there has been no clarification of the PNG standard since to specify that only a single image is ever allowed.

A comment about the origin of animated GIF as a similar kind of extension to the GIF specification should be added too.

[edit] Example

An example .apng would be nice. Ragzouken 16:47, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

It looks nice; what's its copyright status? Foobaz·o< 22:04, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

(C) Mozilla, all rights reserved. Were Justin Dolske not a Mozilla employee, he'd probably be due a DMCA letter. Bah. Chris Cunningham 11:22, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Added a PD image found from [1] --JDSC (talk) 09:38, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Dates

Some dates would be nice, too. When did this file format come out? Has it even come out yet? chad. 00:19, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

I added a history section. If anything you're curious about is still missing, please consider adding it yourself. Foobaz·o< 17:35, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Support in Mozilla was landed 2007-03-20, see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=257197#c102 Dolphinling 04:11, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Added their support in Gran Paradiso alpha3. Does any other browser support APNG? Konqueror, maybe? Mahanga^{Talk to me} 01:46, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] MNG

MNG is too big and complex, especially with the JNG stuff in it and the delta movements. A simple format to store different frames behind each other would be perfect and APNG seems to be that. Shame that it keeps getting rejected.84.192.164.151 15:47, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Difference with MNG?

What is, on the techinical side, the difference with MNG? Are frames stored differently? Is there a difference in supported features? Shinobu 01:14, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Links

Could a link be added for "getting or retrieving APNG"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.108.103.172 (talk) 11:50, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
