|

|
| 9 | **Quickstart**
|
| 10 |
|
| 11 | Velocity:
|
| 12 | `<script src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/velocity/1.0.0/velocity.min.js"></script>`
|
| 13 |
|
| 14 | Velocity UI pack:
|
| 15 | `<script src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/velocity/1.0.0/velocity.ui.min.js"></script>`
|
| 16 |
|
| 17 | Package managers:
|
| 18 | `bower install velocity`
|
| 19 | `npm install velocity-animate`
|
| 20 |
|
| 21 | ###**Updates**
|
| 22 |
|
| 23 | - **1.0.0**: File name changed to `velocity.js`. Read [VelocityJS.org/#dependencies](http://VelocityJS.org/#dependencies).
|
| 24 | - **0.1.0**: `stop` now stops animations *immediately* (instead of only clearing the remainder of the animation queue). No other backwards-incompatible changes were made.

|
| 33 | ###**Comparisons**
|
| 34 |
|
| 35 | - **Famo.us** is a full-fledged app framework built around a physics engine.
|
| 36 | - **CSS transitions** are meant for simple interface flourishes.
|
| 37 | - **jQuery's $.animate()** is slow and poorly-equipped for motion design.
|
| 38 | - **Velocity** is a fast, feature-rich standalone alternative to jQuery's $.animate().
