The main reason for this quick release after beta.7 is to fix a regression on old Androids due to some compatibility issues with requestAnimationFrame.
Bug Fixes
cancelAnimationFrame: polyfill in ionic.DomUtil (a0577346)
content: scroll=false in sidemenu hides content (53c17104, closes #1485)
I just updated Ionic from beta 5 to beta 8. My collections do not scroll now for some reason, they worked perfectly before, but now the scrolling seems to be disabled (the list is “frozen”) but the list items can still be clicked on etc.
Sorry about that, very strange… I re-compiled / installed the app on my device and now I have no issues. I tried it across all 3 of my development / testing devices and they’re all fine… So not sure what exactly happened there…
First off - thank you for a great framework! I’m very much enjoying using ionic.
I just upgraded my app to beta 8 (from beta 6). When running in a web browser on my Android phone (Moto X running Android 4.4.2) I noticed that the page transition animations are much jerkier, if they even show at all. I uploaded my old beta 6 version and ran them side-by-side and the difference is noticeable.
Hi @rajatrocks I noticed this too on iphone 4G… very jerky right transition - when beta 5 (or maybe beta 6) was great. (BUT works fine on ipad so its performance not code related)
I think the changes were these file changes but I haven’t tried a comparison yet (that was next on my list of things to do) (I also haven’t fully checked if this IS the code change that makes the impact)
I have that too (non scrolling). It happens after keyboard use, on some devices (e.g android). There has been a (now closed) github issue about this - but I think the 8 nightlies post that issue being closed still have the issue. Hoping to get some time to investigate this further as to what exactly it is.
Good to know that it’s not just me My app is un-demoable with b8, so I’ve reverted to b6 for the time being. @mhartington - any thoughts on why the transitions on actual devices have degraded in performance? Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!
