tinyJS / News: Recent posts

The beta of the second release will be available soon. It will be named "Selected Selectors" because of its exchangeable Selector Engines (classic mode for full compatibility or small mode for clients with querySelectorAll support, saving almost 1.5k) and come with a load of fixes and even new plugins like an lzw codec.

The predicted release just happened. Grab it while its fresh!

This weekend, the "first final", 0.0.1 will be released. It will contain a few bugfixes, normalized mouse position in mouse events and a normalized events plugin with mouseenter/-leave and drag'n'drop.

The next version, 0.0.2 is planned to have the selectors selection finalized: therefore I am asking you which selectors do we need inside the core and which ones could be in an external plugin?

Version 0.0.1rc1 hits the road! It has lots of improvements, the best of all being prototyped Selections (which makes things faster, since the methods need not being copied anymore) and a lot of shiny new plugins. The first somewhat complete version of the documentation both in english and german is available too.

Grab it while its hot!

Later next week, the first release Candidate should be available, which will feature prototyped selection methods (saving time and code), some improvements for the #id selector and more and better documentation (all in english as well as german), CSS3 Selectors (as plugin) as well as some more plugins.

Meanwhile I hope that some more javascript developers have a look at the source and share their opinions with me. The most important questions: which selectors would you choose for the core version? What pages would you like to use tinyJS in? Which abilities would you like to see as plugin / within the core?

The 2nd beta will bring the work in progress on the english translation (try index-en.html, an selector- and event-test within the cheat sheet and some improvements on the t.a and t.j methods.
