v0.7.8

• ADD: Add a sandbox environment to the repo, to make it easier for contributing developers
  to get started playing around with the library. See docs/usage.md
  for more.
• MOD: Disable TileAnimation pre-loading. Automatically pre-loading all tile layers was causing
  significant performance issues when creating several TileAnimations at once.
  An interface for manually pre-loading animations is slated for a future release of Aeris.js.
  See code snippet below for a temporary pre-loading solution.
• MOD: TileAnimation and AnimationSync no longer changes the from/to bounds of the animation when
  new times are loaded. See code snippet below to restore the previous behavior.
• MOD: aeris.api.collections.Lightning sorts models by date/time. This results in a more geographically
  distributed collection (by default, Aeris API sorts Lightning by distance).
• FIX: Fix parsing of collection data for models which dynamically generate ids.
• FIX: Configure styles for all point data marker clusters.
• FIX: Remove invalid BatchModel documentation.
• FIX: When an animation is set to the current actual time,
  never display a forecast tile layer. (Previously, the animation
  would should either a past or a future layer, depending on whichever
  layer's time was closer to the current time).

See git history for a full list of changes.

Temporary Solution For Pre-loading Animations

var animation = new aeris.interactive.animations.TileAnimation(layer);

animation.on('load:times', function(times) {
  var currentTime = animation.getCurrentTime();

  // Calling goToTime will trigger the time layer to load.
  times.forEach(function(time) {
    animation.goToTime(time);
  });

  // Revert back to the original time
  animation.goToTime(currentTime);
});

Update animation from/to times when times are loaded

var animation = new aeris.interactive.animations.TileAnimation(layer);

animation.on('load:times', function(times) {
  var earliestTime = Math.min.apply(Math, times);
  var latestTime = Math.max.apply(Math, times);

  animation.setFrom(earliestTime);
  animation.setTo(latestTime);
});
