MooTools

Its been almost 2 months since the first 1.2 beta. Bugs were fixed, features were improved, and here it comes: the second beta.

The first big feature we’ve been working on for 1.2 is Documentation.

1.2 Documentation is in fact almost 5 times more detailed than it was in version 1. Every class option has now its description, every method has a complete list of arguments along with description, type, and now every functionality comes with a code example — sometimes more than one. If you want to see it for yourself, here is the temporary link for the 1.2 beta documentation.

A lot of the new 1.2 features have now been refined. An example that I’d like to share with you now is the Element Accessors feature. This is completely new for 1.2, aimed at making it easier working with elements and their attributes, properties or “special attributes”. Continue reading for 1.2 code examples.

Today I found a nice article on coderseye.com:

I spent a half hour tinkering around in Aptana, downloading MooTools 1.1, and setting up a few tests. The result is extremely pleasing. Not only is MooTools way better and easier to use than I remember, but it works out of the box with AIR.

That’s Very nice to know!

I personally haven’t yet tried MooTools in AIR extensively (i only did a few basic tests) but I’m definitely looking forward to creating something in the very near future. Maybe a downloader app? We’ll see!

During the last few days, we’ve added some nifty CSS3 selectors to the trunk. Continue reading to know what this is all about, or try SlickSpeed now!

UPDATE: SlickSpeed can now be downloaded from googlecode.

Today we released MooTools version 1.11.

In this release we fixed a bunch of memory leaks issues, as well as some minor bugs around.

Other than some maintenance, we added the getText and setText Element methods, to help filling HTML Elements, Style tags and Script tags with text, and we added more details to the documentation.

This is a recommended update for all of you using MooTools 1.1.

If you want to, you can see the changelog in details.

So, go ahead and give it a try!

After more than a year of continuous and dedicated development, we decided it was time to launch a blog to keep you in the loop.

Here we’re gonna post about the latest moo trends, the latest breaking changes, the latest plugins that see the light everyday.

Hoping its enough for an introductory post, I’ll leave you at better things, for now.

Cheers
