Changelog

Version 2.4

• Major Refactor: Completely restructured the codebase for better organization and readability.
• Settings Object: Introduced a SmoothScroll.settings object to easily configure scroll behavior.
• WeakMap for State: Utilized WeakMap to store per-element scrolling data, preventing memory leaks.
• Animation Duration: Added animationDuration to limit the maximum time for a smooth scroll animation.
• Scroll Threshold: Added scrollThreshold to prevent animation on small scroll events.
• Passive Event Listeners Option: Added a setting (passiveEventListeners) to allow users to choose if they want to use passive event listeners or not.
• Error Handling in Style Retrieval: Added error handling when fetching style properties.
• String.encamel Polyfill: Added a polyfill for older browsers missing the String.encamel method.
• Code Formatting: Improved code formatting, code comments for better readability.
• Version Update: Updated to version 2.4
• Grant Update: Added @grant none since the script doesn't use any GM functions.

Version 2.3

• Added scroll pattern analysis for better device detection
• Improved scroll physics and acceleration curves
• Fixed up/down jitter issues
• Enhanced subpixel accuracy
• Added directional scroll handling
• Fine-tuned performance parameters

Smooth Scroll Function Changelog

Version 1.4

Enhancements and Fixes

• Fixed Calculation Issues:

  • Improved calculations for smooth scrolling, ensuring consistent behavior across different pages.
  • Adjusted the logic for ScrollPixels and ScrollSubpixels to ensure proper handling and calculation.

• Improved Scroll Handling:

  • Ensured the script properly handles different scrolling behaviors on various websites.
  • Added checks to handle cases where scrolling might get stuck.

• Handled Edge Cases:

  • Added additional checks in CanScroll and HasScrollbar to handle edge cases.
  • Enhanced logic to ensure smooth scrolling even on pages with unusual scrolling behaviors.

• Performance Improvements:

  • Optimized performance by refining the RequestAnimationUpdate function.
  • Ensured better frame rate calculations to maintain smooth animations.

• Error Handling:

  • Added error handling mechanisms to prevent the script from breaking on certain pages.
  • Ensured the script fails gracefully when encountering unexpected scenarios.

• General Code Cleanup:

  • Cleaned up and organized the code for better readability and maintainability.
  • Removed redundant code and improved comments for clarity.

Known Issues

• Compatibility:

  • The script may still encounter issues on websites with highly customized scrolling behaviors.
  • Further testing and adjustments may be required for specific edge cases.

• Performance on Low-End Devices:

  • While performance improvements have been made, low-end devices may still experience some lag during smooth scrolling.
