Yes, the released versions are minified, see, e.g.,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minification_%28programming%29 ,

in order to reduce size and loading time.

Indeed! The source code is available on the project site:

http://code.google.com/p/sgvizler/ click 'source' in the horizontal
menu, and then 'browse'.

The source for the 0.5.1 version, which is the 0.5 release version, is
found in

http://code.google.com/p/sgvizler/source/browse/#svn%2Ftag%2F0.5.1%2Fsrc

or "directly" to svn repository:

http://sgvizler.googlecode.com/svn/tag/0.5.1/src/

The trunk version, which will be released as 0.6, is found in the trunk
and has a lot more comments than previous versions:

http://sgvizler.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/


If your going to make changes, you should make a checkout of the svn
repository, and "compile" (it's just a concatination of the files in src
into the file sgvizler.js) the sources using Makefile and the command:

make sgvizler.js


Please report bugs, improvements and so on to the issues:

http://code.google.com/p/sgvizler/issues/list

Hope this was clear.
