This module provides a jQuery Cycle2 slideshow plugin for Views Slideshow, heavily based on Views Slideshow: Cycle (bundled with Views Slideshow). Modifications have been made to interface with some basic options of Cycle2, though a lot remains to be done. New options added to Cycle2's API during its beta will be accounted for where possible.
Benefits to using Cycle2 over the original Cycle are that Cycle2 natively handles responsive design and (with an optional plugin) swipe events on capable devices.
Installation
Enable jQuery 1.7 or higher. The easiest way to do this is via the jQuery Update module (update to the latest Chaos Tools dev and jQuery Update dev to avoid issues).
