I need the new feature from v1.5 but this is only beta version.
When is the planned release of the stable version?
I need the new feature from v1.5
You mean synchronized animations? I never finalized it, because it introduced regressions that I was unable to fix. I ported the optimizations and fixes back to 1.4.x, but I dropped synchronized animations. I no longer plan to implement this feature, sorry...
Basically, this library is now in maintenance mode; I'll continue to fix bugs, but I will probably not add any new features to it. I'm now working on its successor: XamlAnimatedGif. It uses a technique completely different from the one used in WpfAnimatedGif, and it will probably be much easier to support synchronized animations in this new library. If you want it, I suggest you create an issue for it.
I mean:
"Optimized for the case where the same GIF is displayed multiple times (don't recreate the animation)"
My application takes a large amount of RAM without it.
This optimization has been ported back to 1.4.x, so you shouldn't see any difference with 1.5 in terms of memory usage. But even with this optimization, it will use a lot of RAM anyway, especially is the image is large and/or has many frames. This was one of my main reasons to create XamlAnimatedGif.
Thanks for info.
