To: rails-spinoffs@lists.rubyonrails.org

Get it here: http://script.aculo.us/downloads

Short take on what's new:

-> Autocompletion took a notch up with incremental and local (js
array) functionality
-> Capability to remove draggables/droppables and redeclare sortables
-> Effect.ScrollTo
-> Fix memory leaks in IE and Gecko
-> Make some 3rd-party js libraries comaptible, namely IE7.js
-> Various tweaks and fixes

The final 1.1 should also contain various features that are in the
"pipeline" now.

Big thanks to the contributors!

* Experimental: make version of prototype.js in lib destroy events on
page unload to prevent browser memory leaks

* Fixed a possible memory leak in dragdrop.js

* Make version of prototype.js in lib compatible with some 3rd-party
JavaScript libraries (like IE7) by refactoring to use Object.extend()
for testing [David Zülke]

* Make effects.js, dragdrop.js and controls.js compatible with some
3rd-party JavaScript libraries (like IE7) by refactoring to use
Object.extend() [David Zülke]

* Changed some tests to work better

backwards-compatibility, to be sure include style="background-color:
(target-color)" on your elements or else elements will fall back to
their CSS rules (which is a good thing in most circumstances)

* Removed a possible memory leaks with IE with sortables and
droppables (removed references from elements)

Jepp gotta check the code tomorrow, if all
of the component leaks are fixed...

the changelogs indicates, that he
has moved the direct component references
to indirect ones.

Anyway, thanks Martin for forwarding the info.
And if someone wants to see some amazing javascript code
check this library out, believe me you have never seen
anything like it on javascript level ;-)
