# Support the alpha channel in PNG images. We’ve actually had this on our radar for a long time, and have had it supported in the code for a while now. We have certainly heard the clear feedback from the web design community that per-pixel alpha is a really important feature.
Hmmm, at what color depth though? 8 bit png transparencies still look like nasty gifs... I want the full color depth available for the webmap. (if they do this well, memory use by the browser should be considerably reduced).
