Using the Timeline tab of the Chrome Developer Tools, no significant
difference of Paint events can be observed when requestAnimationFrame is
used. So I agree with @elemoine that there is no need to introduce
asynchronous behavior here.
Performance improvements are achieved by using requestAnimationFrame when
a tile's visibility changes, and by not starting with a blank image when
creating a new tile image. It seems that even Firefox does not show a
loading placeholder when the tile is made visible in an animation.
The [URI standard](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-4.2) allows for URI without a scheme. Where http is used to load the app, using a schemeless URL for the Bing metadata loads a script using http - and the same goes for https.
The WMSDescribeLayer format currently differs from other formats that
inhreit from VersionedOGC by having an array instead of an object as return
type. This especially bad since the VersionedOGC superclass sets a version
property on the array. With this change, the WMSDescribeLayer format will
also be compatible with GeoServer's new JSON response type for
DescribeLayer - see
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=29912776.
Another change included here is the removal of the WMSDescribeLayer
format's getVersion hack, which was replaced by a generic fallback to less
generic parsers, e.g. from a v1_1_1 parser to a v1_1 parser if v1_1_1 is
not implemented.
With this change, createLayer generates url arrays for both KVP and REST
encoding if multiple resource urls are provided. To make this work, the
WMTSCapabilities format got a new resourceUrls property, because
previously only the first resourceUrl for a format was stored.
This is because the threshold used for deciding when a column or row is shifted is too far to the bottom right. A tiny fix, but effective. A new test makes sure that we don't shift columns more than necessary when the layer is dragged.
This commit addresses @bartvde's review comments, adds more documentation, and fixes asynchronous function calls. Previously, when creating multiple processes with the same identifier, the describe callback would only have been called for the first process. This was fixed to move DescribeProcess handling from WPSProcess to WPSClient.
