Great! :-) I'd suggest posting a similar message into the Yahoo! SVG Developers group [1], possibly stating the beta status of these features, in order to increase visibility and (potentially) gather more beta testers to help stabilizing the features before the release. When the next official version of Amaya is released, I'd also suggest making a shorter posting into svg.org [2], as the news are also syndicated by the W3 SVG graphics portal [3] - again, to help increasing visibility. ;-) Congratulations for all the great Amaya improvements, with special focus on the (somehow new) SVG features. Amaya isn't yet as fully featured as other SVG-specific authoring tools (such as Inkscape [4], for example), but its (X)HTML+SVG integration and (limited) support for SMIL animation are surely powerful features which deserve more visibility to the SVG community. :-) By the way, this integration isn't stated anywhere within the message and, being a pretty specific feature (which I'd risk saying Amaya is innovative at while being both a viewer and an editor), I'd say that this deserved to be highlighted in release notes and/or in Amaya announcements.
