###Comparisons

• Famo.us is a full-fledged mobile app framework built around a physics engine.
• GSAP is a fast, multi-purpose animation platform. It inspired me to pursue the development of Velocity.
• Velocity is a lightweight tool for drastically improving UI animation performance and workflow.

###Changelog

• 0.2.1: Prevent errors from being thrown in old, partially-supported jQuery versions (1.4.0-2).
• 0.2.0: Added step easing (http://VelocityJS.org/#easing).
• 0.1.0: Velocity's stop command was changed to stop animations immediately (instead of just clearing the remainder of the animation queue). No other backwards-incompatible changes were made.
