I'm curious if there's a time-frame for when the various time-aware features will be supported in V4 of the JS API.
On top of that, does anyone have a suggestion for an efficient work-around for animating radar imagery from a WMS? I'm using the Iowa State NEXRAD like so:
<SPAN class="keyword token">let</SPAN> nexrad <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> <SPAN class="keyword token">new</SPAN> <SPAN class="token class-name">WMSLayer</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">{</SPAN>

My thinking is that I'll just create an animate method which retrieves the preceding 15 time slots and stores them. Then, just cycle through the results.
