    Are these classes obsolete?


    That's a very good question...
    Krashan wrote in 2007: "I've written already about video metaformat and how it is used to decode GIF anims. After being tested in external player (codenamed NightShow), player code has been moved to a separate Reggae class, metaplayer.filter. Except of composing data into frames, tthis class also starts a process ("Reggae Animation Server") responsible for animation frame timing. It can issue signals, send messages or call hooks for an application, when it is time to render the next frame. Then writing an application displaying anims with Reggae is really easy. It just pulls a frame, then waits for signal/message/hook call. These two are repeated in a loop, until the end of stream is reported. I will remove an internal metaformat player from NightShow and use metaplayer.filter."

    Where are these Reggae supported animations today?
