Tomas Sardyha is announcing that Sly with version number 1.6.1 is already available to download.

What is Sly ?

Sly is A jQuery plugin for supporting one-directional scrolling, a basic tool for building sliders, carousel and other content rotators . Sly is a powerful bare-bones utility that enables developers to build item-based sliding and scrolling structures, like scrollbars, cycle widgets and featured sliders.It does not come with pre-built examples, letting the developer assemble his own scrolling and sliding systems, a true all-encompassing solution to deal with such UI widgets.The plugin uses requestAnimationFrame to support GPU-accelerated animations, minimizing CPU consumption and eliminating frame freezing from the animation sequence.Sly-powered carousels work on both desktop and mobile mediums, and even with ancient tools like IE6.Besides the jQuery version, there's also one that can work within JavaScript standalone applications, where no JS frameworks are used. This is changelog for Sly version 1.6.1 :

• Fixed parallax mode.
• Fixed scrolling not working when document or window was used as a scroll source.
