3.14 Release
MorphSVG gets a new "smooth" feature
Usually the default settings deliver beautiful morphs, but if you run into a case where it looks a little funky, you can try the new smooth feature which adds extra "smoothing" anchor points to the artwork. Think of it like increasing the resolution, inserting points to pull on during the morph.
You can define a specific number of points, like smooth: 80 would redraw the path using 80 evenly-spaced anchor points (replacing all existing anchor points). Or smooth: "auto" would automatically choose a number of points based on the surface area. By default, smoothing the path will redraw it which is like tracing it at a certain resolution in order to distribute the anchor points evenly, so it loses some fidelity to the original artwork. You can use the object syntax to set redraw: false to avoid this (see details in the docs).

MorphSVG's algorithm for adding new anchors has been improved to space them out more evenly, even without enabling smooth.
There's also a new curveMode: true feature that can be useful in cases where you need to avoid mid-morph kinks. See the docs for details.

New demo hub
There are countless amazing GSAP demos out there. Some are safely nestled in the docs, but many more are scattered across the forums, CodePen, and other corners of the web. It can be a bit of a treasure hunt trying to find the one you're after.
To make exploring them easier, we’ve started gathering the most popular and useful examples into one place: the new GSAP Demo Hub. The first 50 demos are up now, and we’ll be expanding the collection over the coming months with framework-specific demos and some exciting community contributions.
Browse by plugin, jump into the Getting Started collection, explore the properties and features used in each example, and log in to like and save the demos you want to revisit.
Have you got a favorite demo bookmarked that we haven’t added yet? Want to contribute your own, or can’t find the specific pattern you need for a project? We’d love your help growing the collection, your suggestions make it better for everyone!
Lots of minor improvements and fixes
