Good job lads. We are behind you.

What if I have some mootools plugins/classes in sourceforge. How will the Forge handle those?

@DoomedLung: if you want an add-on for dependencies that covers the portions not covered by Depender check out $Uses - http://blog.citycrawler.com/?p=47

It does dependency loading of css and js for Classes (via a Mutator implement), functions (via a function implement), and code blocks (via a Window fn implement).

Happy depending!

@Barryvan - the release date for 1.1.2 and 1.2.4 is tentatively next monday, 9/28

@posttoast - Firefox 3.6 will remove the element method "getBoxObjectFor". MooTools didn't use this method to do anything other than to determine if the browser was indeed, Firefox. When version 3.6 comes out, sites using MooTools who do not upgrade will potentially mis-identify visitor's browsers (those running the latest Firefox).

@DoomedLung - The Depender application mentioned above will allow you to load portions of MooTools and MooTools plugins on the fly, much like YUI.

@Tetsuo, Dimitar - MooTools 1.1.2 ONLY fixes the afore mentioned Firefox change. It adds no other features and addresses no other issues. You can drop it in place of MooTools 1.1.1 and your site will work exactly as it did before. @Sean - You are obviously using a subjective metric. We strongly encourage that practice.

" 1.612903225806452 times better... "

So only 60% improvement? From what I've seen, it's more than that!
