GSAP 3 is the most significant upgrade we have ever had. With 50+ new features, there's a lot to be excited about. Here's an overview of what's new.

What to do first

• Read about all the exciting improvements:
  • "Top 5 Features of GSAP 3"
  • "GSAP 3 Release Notes" - All the juicy details (warning: it's long)
  • View the GSAP 3 Documentation
• Look at some demos for inspiration
• Start animating!
  • GSAP 3 Starter Pen - Play around with GSAP 3 in CodePen! This pen allows you to copy the resource URLs easily.
  • You can point your CodePens GSAP 3 core: https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/s.cdpn.io/16327/gsap-latest-beta.min.js
  • Or download the files to use locally. 
  • Using a build tool? npm install gsap will get you the files. If you're a Club GreenSock user, there's a gsap-bonus.tgz tarball file in the local download above that you can simply drop into your project's folder and then npm install ./gsap-bonus.tgz and BOOM, it'll be installed just like any other package! See the installation docs for more information.
• Tell us what you think.
  • Post in the our forums about what you like and any questions that you have.
  • Contact us directly if a public forum isn't your style.

Here's what we'd like from you

1. Put GSAP 3 to the test! Experiment. Tinker. Throw everything you can at it and tell us if you run into any bugs. We've done extensive testing but some bugs are sneaky!
2. Provide feedback. What do you love most? Got any ideas for making it even better? Please share.
3. Make demos. We're excited to see all of the incredible things that people make with enhanced GSAP powers. If you make something cool, let us know!
