script.aculo.us 1.8 preview

October 12th, 2007

What’s in for you (compared to script.aculo.us 1.7):

Prototype 1.6 (lastest trunk version)
Complete rewrite of Ajax.InPlaceEditor and Ajax.InPlaceCollectionEditor
Full CSS inheritance in Effect.Morph
New core effect: Effect.Tween
Sound: play mp3 files for sound effects; uses native playback on IE and available plugins whereever possible
Performance improvements
Tons of bugfixes

As always, you’ll find more detailed information in the CHANGELOG.

Note that script.aculo.us 1.8 will mark a feature freeze and only bugfixes will be applied to the 1.x branch of script.aculo.us in the future. script.aculo.us 2.0 is basically a complete rewrite to make things more awesometastic, but I’m getting ahead of myself now—expect something in the near future.
