    Is this true? I checked and I seemed to have lost my history from before 2012, and assumed I'd messed up somewhere in transitioning between computers. I couldn't find any info abou…

    Same question. I was using Raphael.js earlier and had to switch to svg.js for SVG specific features, and it's quite a nice library, though perhaps not as developed as Raphael in te…
