I've never gotten to say this on a jQuery release, but May the 4th be with you! A short time ago in a galaxy exactly like this one, we released jQuery 3.5.0. We have a quick fix for a regression in that release. Specifically, we had changed our internal data object to use Object.create( null … Continue reading →

Quite a while back, Mike Taylor pointed out that the jQuery CDN has a minified copy of jQuery 1.9.1 with an incorrect map file reference.

We encountered an issue in the release for jQuery 3.3.0, so we've immediately released another tag. The code itself is identical, but our release dependencies (only used during release) were added to the dependencies of the jQuery package itself due to the new behavior of npm in version 5+. jQuery 3.3.1 is now recommended if … Continue reading →

Today marks the release of MooTools Core and More versions 1.6.0. This is a minor revision that delivers a number of bug fixes as well as the introduction of new features.

The main new adition is Class.Thenable which is a new Class mixin that can be used in Promise style flows by using its then method. When implemented in a Class, it makes the class "thenable" in the Promises/A+ sense of the word, meaning it can be used in Promise style flows by using its then method.

The implementation, however, is more than just a "then" method. Any instance of a Class implementing Class.Thenable is a Promises/A+ compliant object (generally referred to as "a Promise") with only one exception: it is possible to reset the Class's value resolution state fully (rejecting pending reactions, and starting empty) to support a Class instance living for longer than just the lifetime of one value resolution.

Example using Request:

var request = new Request();
request.send().then(function(response){ console.log(response.text); });

Example hooking into a native Promise:

var request = new Request();
var promise = Promise.resolve(request);
request.send();
promise.then(function(response){ console.log(response.text); });

You can find this new version 1.6.0 in the website or within the dist folder of the 1.6.0 tag (Core).

IE warning: This will be the last version to support old IE browsers. Next minor and/or major versions should be only IE11+ compatible. We might still release some patch in the 1.6.x version if needed.

Array.from deprecated, now called Array.convert: Following the conclusion of the ES6 specs we know now that Array.from will have a different implementation than the one MooTools uses.
Because of this we renamed Array.from to Array.convert to not overwrite the Native implementation.
We kept it as it was though in the compat layer for compatibility reasons if you really to use it still.

To keep the API consistency we changed also the name of the method in Function, Number and String Types.

Today we release MooTools Core and More versions 1.5.1. This continues our improvement work for both Core and More and introduces also some features that were in the queue for being added. This release fixes also a regression related to the mousewheel event.
When preparing the 1.5 release we decided that Core 1.5.x will work with More 1.5.x. This means that, inside the 1.5 space, versions should be compatible and you might be seeing Core or More releases that are not simultaneous.

In 1.5.1 we added a new dist/ folder in Core, present at the tagged commit, for those who want the Core source, as well as a needed update so you can get MooTools via Bower.

Worth a notice is also the new MooTools Packager. MooTools has always been about modularity, and for those of you that want to choose which modules to use you can now use the new MooTools Packager (for Node.js/Grunt), as well as the website builder. The new Packager allows to compile source files from the dependencies in the YAML header. You can find it on GitHub and NPM.

The main things in this release are:

• Mousewheel regression fix for Chrome and Firefox. (link)
• DOMEvent's wheel property now listens for DOM3 wheel event also. (link)
• IE8 iFrame leak fix. (link)
• Added postMessage to NativeEvents. (link)
• Fixed setter so IE7/8 can set text of style element. (link)
• Normalize values on newElement for radio and checkbox types. (link)
• Fixed svg element size. (link)
• Fixed getter behavior for border-radius. (link)
• Added fix for IE8 to be able to set html into style element. (link)
• Added option to trigger xhr.withCredentials without http auth. (link)
• Added the PATCH and HEAD methods to Request. (link)
• Fixed hasClass without classList to comply with ES6. (link)
• Added fix for IE9 when setting an input type to "email". (link)
• Fix for IE when removing delegated "submit" event from destroyed element. (link)
• Updates in Docs.

• Drag position calculation fix. (link)
• Form.Validator.Extras credit card regex update. (link)
• Fix Scroller Class to be able to use window as element. (link)
• Added custom sort function for HtmlTable.Sort. (link)
• Fixed Type error for empty string in Form.Validator. (link)
• Added onLoad callback for local and cross-origin CSS assets. (link)
• Fixed sort regex to respect sci-notated floated numbers in HtmlTable.Sort. (link)
• Fixed scroll miss-placement while dragging and scrolling. (link)
• Updates in Docs.

1.5 is a HUGE bug fix release with roughly 240 commits addressing new browsers that have entered the market as well as new features in the JavaScript language. The team spent a ton of time instrumenting the tests to run against Travis CI and Sauce Labs so that the source code would be easier to test. This will help to make new contributions, fixes and features to the framework and release much more rapidly.

It's easy to underestimate the value of all the work that went into the project over the past two months.

On our road to Version 1.5, we're trying to eliminate some bad practices from our code. One of the things we've just gotten rid of, is that a few last pieces of our libraries still depended on Browser UA detection. This has all been eliminated in favour of feature detection. To help us reach a decision on where to go with the Browser module, here's a quick survey. Reply via @mootools or leave a comment here.

For a while now I've been a huge fan of Gittip. I think they've created one of the most interesting models for funding Open Source development. One of the missing pieces, for most Open Source developers, is having consistent, reliable, income backing your development. Some developers are sponsored by their work place, others have a […]

Today we enabled Bountysource for MooTools Core and MooTools More. Bountysource is a funding platform for Open Source projects like MooTools.

It works as follows: there is an issue on GitHub. You, or anyone else, can create a bounty to back the issue. Then some developer (either a MooTools Team Member or some other contributor) fixes the issue. Once it gets merged and he or she can collect the bounty!

We think this could help to prioritize issues and to increase community contributions. After all, who doesn't like to get some pocket money to buy a beer or MooTools t-shirt!

30 May 2013 7:11pm GMT

This year we're thinking about getting everyone in the MooTools community together, in one place, for a weekend to meet up, chat, discuss, and have an all-around good time. That's right, we're trying to plan a MooTools Conference!

But before we can do that, we need your help. We've set up a form so we can gauge interest in a MooTools Conference. All you need to do is take a minute and answer the questions.

We'll keep the form up until next week, but make sure you answer quickly so we can start planning this awesome Official MooTools Gathering (or OMG--which might or might not be the name of the conference).

Like many developers I've been excited by the promise of Asm.js. Reading the recent news that Asm.js is now in Firefox nightly is what got my interest going.

Sometimes we get requests from people that want to contribute to MooTools. In this post I would like to give some pointers how one could help, but first I'll tell how I got involved in the MooTools project.

It was late 2009, the MooTools Forge (plugin repository) was just released, and I was learning JavaScript and MooTools by creating many plugins. This is already the first form of contributing to the MooTools project: releasing code that might benefit others. The cool thing about this was that I also helped other people on GitHub that released their MooTools plugins, and thanks to this interaction I learned even more.

At the same time the MooTools Core developers were building MooTools 1.3. I closely followed the developments and noticed that a few things were still missing. One thing that seemed easy was the documentation. So, in some spare time I dove into the MooTools source code, looking through the commit history to see what changed, and update the existing MooTools 1.2 documentation accordingly. If I remember correctly a pull request on GitHub at that time was basically a private message to the MooTools devs, so it was exciting whether my changes would be accepted. Fortunately contributing to the documentation is always helpful, so my changes got merged!

Because MooTools 1.3, at that time, was fully under construction, there were many loose ends that were easy to fix. I got invited to talk to the MooTools devs on IRC, and got involved more and more. So I started working on MooTools More 1.3, which was something else that was not updated for the new 1.3 release. This was a great way to learn how the internals of MooTools work: we had to look into MooTools Core to know how to effectively update the More code, or even fix things in MooTools Core, but at the same time it wasn't too difficult yet.

Later that year I went to the MooTools Hackathon in London, where we finalized the MooTools Core 1.3 and More 1.3 releases which were released later that year. I also got a nice place on the MooTools developers page!

So how does my nice story tell you how to contribute? Basically what I did is look if something was blocking the release for MooTools 1.3, went ahead and fixed that, just by spamming the MooTools devs with new pull requests.

The most important point is direct communication with the developers. This mainly happened on IRC, but is still valid. Join #mootools, say you want to help out with something, or did something, explain again why we should merge your pull request. This is really the best way to get started. If you don't directly see a loose end where you can help, the MooTools developers probably know something interesting for you.

Currently there are a few aspects where you can help. If you have followed the development on GitHub you might know about prime, elements, agent, moofx etc. There is still some stuff (especially website/documentation related) to be done for a real release. See also the roadmap on the Prime Wiki. But it's also perfectly fine if you like to work on the current version of MooTools Core. The idea is to release a MooTools 1.5 with mostly bugfixes, and a few deprecations. The biggest chunk of work for 1.5 is a review of bug reports and pull requests.

If you're not really comfortable contributing code or documentation directly, writing blog posts, tweeting about MooTools or helping other people on the MooTools Mailing List, #mootools on IRC or stackoverflow are really great ways to contribute too.

I would like to conclude with the benefit of contributing to MooTools or Open Source in general. I've learned so much and you get the opportunity to do things right. Apply testing techniques, try new technologies, learn more than you want to know about IE7 or other interesting browser behaviors. The things I learned by contributing MooTools simply made me a better developer.

Edit: we created a wiki to collaborate on design and websites for MooTools projects on GitHub. So if you're into that kind of thing, this is another great way to contribute!

18 Mar 2013 8:33pm GMT

This is a new maintenance release for the old 1.2 series. The new ECMAScript 6 specification has a proposal for String.prototype.contains that unfortunately conflicts with the MooTools implementation of contains.

Firefox 18 already ships this new version of contains. This is not a problem for MooTools 1.3.x and onward, but this breaks MooTools 1.2.5, especially the code inside the MooTools framework that utilized this method, like selectors.

This new 1.2.6 release solves these issues by overwriting the native version with the MooTools version of String.prototype.contains.

For the next MooTools version, 1.5, we will use the standard ES6 version. If you rely on the old behavior (which is only when you use the second argument), it will be possible to use the old version through the compatibility layer.

• Download 1.2.6
• Or upgrade to 1.4.5

Until recently, French literature about MooTools was pretty much non-existent. Thanks to Xavier Lecomte, now there is a very good book about MooTools in your native tongue that will get you up to speed in no time.

Découvrez Mootools - Un framework JavaScript pour des sites dynamiques et interactifs (Discover MooTools - A javascript framework for dynamic and interactive websites) is aimed at beginner and intermediate developers who wish to create spectacular effects using MooTools. This book does not go deep into topics that would likely only confuse you, but instead it keeps everything simple and provides many clear cut examples and illustrations that will facilitate your understanding. Priced at 12.5 Euros (~15$) it's a must-have if you're looking to learn MooTools.

As the author says, it does not cover the entire framework. Instead, Xavier Lecomte selected the most commonly used MooTools pieces and explains them in detail. Throughout this book, you'll learn how to create classes, handle DOM elements, create AJAX requests and create effects using Fx classes. The latter is probably the most discussed topic of this book as it goes through almost every Fx-based class in MooTools. When it comes to Fx classes, the most complex part is probably options. Although they are well named, they could be difficult to grasp, especially to the novice user. This book makes this type of functionality very clear by explaining all the options for each class discussed, at times, through the use of illustrations. The Fx chapter wraps up with a complete example, where the author builds a pong game using tools explained throughout the chapter.

Finally, the book discusses work done by the MooTools community. Although it does not go deeply into each project (most of them would require a book on their own), it gives a good idea of what MooTools is able to offer.

To conclude, if you're a native French speaker interested in learning MooTools, this book is a must-have, especially at that price. I hope Xavier Lecomte will continue writing about MooTools, the in-depth detailing of this book is amazing and will certainly benefit many.

I'm very happy to present the latest version of Moobile. This release focuses on stability and building solid groundwork for the future. This includes, for instance...

iOS 6 Theme

The iOS theme has been updated to closely match the recent changes in iOS 6 for both iPhone and iPad. This release also addresses the updated border-image syntax that casued issues with buttons inside bars or alerts. Finally, elements that were not hardware-accelerated (using only translateX or translateY) are now as smooth as they should be.

Android Theme

This release includes a basic Android 4 theme. This is still a work in progress and, since my testing devices are limited, I cannot guarantee it will work well on all devices. Any tips you can share about improving speed on Android would be greatly appreciated.

Transitions

Two more transitions were added: Cover.Page and Cover.Box. They aim to replicate modal view transition on iPad. The cover transition, using the Android theme, has also been customized to match the native Android look and feel.

Simulator

The simulator's UI has been improved. It's now less intrusive and provides a zoom functionality. Keyboard shortcuts were also added; you may now use the arrow keys to zoom or rotate. Settings (such as orientation, zoom and options) are now saved on a per-device basis so you won't have to zoom out every time you use the iPad device on your laptop.

The Boiler Plate

Touch icons and startup images for all sizes have been added to the boiler plate.

Moobile.Component.defineAttribute

A minor improvement, but an improvement nonetheless. For those who were tired of writing data-option-style-name, data-style is the new alternative. It's now possible to specify a behavior for certain attributes on a component thanks to the Moobile.Component.defineAttribute function.

The Future

The next release will geared towards adding content. Tab views, split views and on-off switches will be included in the new version. I'm also planning to improve the documentation, add more examples and make things easier to understand.

Requests

If you have any requests, you're welcome to contact me through the GitHub page. I'll be glad to listen to your requests and, hopefully, improve your experience working with Moobile.

Moobile is developed by Jean-Philippe Déry and is hosted on moobilejs.com

The third JavaScript challenge showed us what it would be like to draw with canvas. The challenge was open ended, in so far as there were no restrictions as to what drawing technology could have been used, but everyone just went straight for canvas.

Back in the old days, there was an operating system named after transparent, glass-filled wall apertures numbering in mid-90's. This operating system was designed to run on computers with CRT screens, which actually needed software to upset the patterns of light they generated, called screensavers.

This operating system had just such software, in a number of different variations. One of these created the "illusion" that the observer was travelling through space, passing stars. This is the subject of this week's challenge.

Since the very beginning of MooTools you can only pick the right components that you need with the MooTools Download Builder, to ensure there are no useless bytes going through the wires. But this means you still download browser-specific code. What if you could optimize the code further by removing unnecessary browser-specific code?

The good news is, you can optimize MooTools builds to remove specific (IE) code! Packager has been used to concatenate builds since MooTools 1.3. Removing certain code blocks, like MooTools 1.2. compatibility or specific IE code is one of the features of Packager. Lets see how it works. We begin with downloading Packager.

We've been doing the legwork. We've learned what it takes to put on a kick-ass live, online class. (Don't call it a "webinar" -- or I'll be forced to show you the error of your ways!)

Our voices and screen presentations will come at you live! We'll take questions and solve problems. You will have a few exercises to work on, and we'll help you debug them if the need arises! And, because the online dynamic's a bit different, we'll be sending you the class materials in advance so you can peruse & prepare.

Previous attendees have described our workshops as "worth every penny" and "extremely good" and "I learned a lot and slowly started to feel my brain dribble out of my ears... in a good way." You will learn absolute gobs of stuff about JavaScript: The Language that will help you every day, no matter whether you use Prototype, jQuery, Node.js, or any other library -- or none at all.

scripty2 is now out in a preview alpha release, with cool demos and some of the nicest documentation any open source project has (we do know that's a bold statement!).

In this release, the focus has been on the effects engine, with the UI parts still pending a rewrite (there will be a lot of really cool stuff coming for the UI part, but more about that later).

As a bonus, the minified and gzipped version of scripty2 is a mere 5k in size. That's a lot of animation features in a very, very small package.

Hop over to http://scripty2.com to see the demos and documentation, and learn more about the background story on Thomas' blog post.

25 Sep 2009 4:30pm GMT

When we officially released 1.6.1 last week, we also published new documentation, the first official docs generated with PDoc.

01 Sep 2009 2:15pm GMT

Today we're announcing Release Candidate 3 of Prototype 1.6.1. Among the highlights of this release are official Chrome support, improved IE8 compatibility, faster generation of API documentation with PDoc, and lots of bug fixes.

16 Jun 2009 10:21pm GMT

Today we tagged the first public release candidate of Prototype 1.6.1. (What happened to RC1? Long story.) While there are more minor fixes we'd like to get into this release, we decided an interim release was necessary because of the final release of Internet Explorer 8 last week.

27 Mar 2009 11:33pm GMT

Over at SvN, Sam announced the 1.0 release of Sprockets, the new dependency management and concatenation tool that makes it easy to modularize your JavaScript.

This is a bugfix release that bumps script.aculo.us to version 1.8.1.

This version is recommended for all users.

• Update to Prototype 1.6.0.3
• Make sure InPlaceEditor converts HTML entities to text. [Sean Kirby]
• Fix that Builder.node did not return extended elements on IE. Closes #71 and #77.
• Fix a bug in Sortable.destroy to make sure it's called on the referenced Sortable only, which allows for the correct intialization of nested Sortables. Closes Trac #8615. [Leon Chevalier]
• Change Effect.Base#render not to use eval(), so certain JavaScript runtime environments (like Adobe AIR) that do not support eval() work. [King Maxemilian, John-David Dalton]
• Fixed a calculation error in Effect.Transitions.pulse that could lead to flickering, add easing and change it to be a normal 0 to 1 transition that can be used with any effects; Effect.Pulsate now uses its own implementation. [Thomas Fuchs]
• Fixed Effect.ScrollTo. Changeset 8686 had a typo, document.viewport.getScrollOffsets[0] is always undefined. Removed the max check as it is not a cross-browser way to get scroll height and breaks the effect. Depending on scrollTo to do the right thing. Closes #11306. [Nick Stakenburg]
• Update version check so all Prototype versions can be required, not just x.x.x. Closes #10966. [Nick Stakenburg]
• Using $$ in the loader instead of getElementsByTagName to prevent limitations. Closes #9032. [Nick Stakenburg]
• Fix some missing semicolons. [jdalton]
• Fix an issue with Effect.ScrollTo that caused Firefox to scroll to the wrong offset in some situations. Closes #10245. [nik.wakelin]
• Fixes an issue with IE ghosting on non-absolute elements. Closes #10423. [Tanrikut, tdd]

30 Sep 2008 5:48pm GMT

Topic: Extending Request class → Request.HTML stops working Message: I have extended the Request class to create this sort of functionality. However; this causes the Request.HTML to stop working. I think I understand what the problem is, but I am unsure if this should be considered impossible, or simply a bug? A simple testcase; running on top of 1.2 Request = new Class({ Extends: Request, initialize: function(options) { this.parent(options); this.addEvent('onRequest', this.onAjaxRequest); }, onAjaxRequest: function() { alert('waa?'); }, }); console.log(new Request({url: '/'})); console.log(new Request.HTML({url: '/'})); This code throws 'Request.HTML is not a constructor' when the second Request is performed. Any ideas on how to fix this?

My php ini value "upload_max_filesize" is set to 20M and the limitSize option of my FancyUpload2 object is set to 20971520 (20 MB). When I upload a video of 1 to 8 MB, it works. But when it is above to 8 MB, it doesn't work and my $_FILES var stays empty. An idea ? Thanks In addition to upload_max_filesize you also need to increase post_max_size. They both limit your file uploads.

I'm only testing for the existence of each object. In each case there really is only one element, but i call an array anyways and choose the first element for each. var cancelbut = $$('form[name=cancel_form_1]')[0]; if(cancelbut){ cancelbut.style.display = 'none'; } var hidepatstat = $$('div.patStatusLinks')[0]; if(hidpatstat){ var hidepatchild = hidepatstat.hasChild(); if(!hidepatchild){ hidepatstat.style.display = 'none'; } }

Topic: Menu gets confused with fast mouseover. Need help diagnosing problem. Message: Thanks for the suggestion. I upgraded the menu code to mootools version 1.2 and add the " link: 'cancel' " option but it did not help. Same exact problem. Upgrading to 1.2 also introduced a bug where I have to remove the "position: absolute" from the menu items in my css to get the menu to work. And removing it breaks the menu. So reluctantly I downgraded back to 1.11. Any other suggestions will be appreciated! :-)

Topic: iCarousel private mootools release Message: Fabio, great work! But what Ken said: Well its a great system and all except, It duplicates the list a gagibillion times! (not really but you know what I mean) And if I have it on auto it just keeps going on and doesn't return to the first image, it would be nice if it would return to the first image. Also every time the images rotates the processor spikes to 100% and having that happen every five seconds really slows down the system. The duplication process also screws up any elements which use id tags,... so ajax on an element in the list is not an option as it nees a unique id. It has to do with the fact that the list 'wraps',... is there a way you can turn off the wrapping and let the end of the list be just that,... the end? Thanx in advance!

But if I can't access the inner content of this dialog. I would like to add for example a submit event ot the form like that: $('feedForm').addEvent('submit', function(e) { new Event(e).stop(); var response = $('response').empty().addClass('ajax-loading'); this.send({ update: response, onComplete: function(responsetxt) { response.removeClass('ajax-loading'); this.AjaxResponse = responsetxt; if (this.AjaxResponse=="ok"){ // blabla } }.bind(this) }); }); I opened the multibox with: Feedback Javascript: box = new MultiBox('mb', { descClassName: 'multiBoxDesc', useOverlay: true }); The full page can you see at http://battle.oxn.it/multibox/index.htm on the "HTML page (Ajax)" link I hope you could understand what I mean. Thx for your help Simon

script.aculo.us is from now on developed using Git (hosted at github) for source code management and revision control, and Lighthouse for bug tracking.

Why git instead of Subversion? Well, it simply rules supreme, and makes working with many distributed developers with lots of branches a snap. You can find a good intro book on Git on Peepcode.

script.aculo.us 1.xx development will focus on bug fixes only, while I'm working on the next version of scripty (post on that coming up soon!).

Bug tracker http://prototype.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8887-script-aculo-us

Repository for script.aculo.us 1.xx http://github.com/madrobby/scriptaculous

Note that if you're just using the library, this change won't really affect you.

If you have open bugs on the old Trac please port them over to lighthouse yourself!

I'm also working on a replacement for the documentation wiki (which, quite honestly, sucks); so stay tuned for some updates in the near future. If you want to help out with the documentation effort, please contact me. :)

This is a bugfix release that bumps script.aculo.us to version 1.8.1.

Mainly, this release contains some important bug fixes and optimizations in Prototype, fixes cursor keys in autocompleting text fields for IE and Safari plus fixes an issue with Effect.Morph on IE.

Download at http://script.aculo.us/downloads!

04 Jan 2008 3:15am GMT

This is the final version of script.aculo.us 1.8, which comes with Prototype 1.6.0 final.

The included final 1.6.0 version of Prototype brings the latest and greatest awesome new features -- be sure to check it out on the Prototype site.

See the announcement for more information and a download link!

08 Nov 2007 2:05pm GMT

This is third beta of script.aculo.us 1.7.1, which provides Prototype 1.5.1 final compatibility and Sortable speed improvements.

The included final 1.5.1 version of Prototype brings the latest and greatest in new cool features and performance gains, so be sure not miss this one. :)

Beta warning: Things might not work as you might expect, though they really should-if you hit any problems, please use the bug tracker and give reports. The same that applies to Prototype applies for script.aculo.us too, so read the how to contribute page to see how you can help out!

On the heels of the recent Prototype 1.5.1 release candidate, here's the latest and greatest version of script.aculo.us: 1.7.1 beta 1.

Beta warning: Things might not work as you might expect, though they really should-if you hit any problems, please use the bug tracker and give reports. The same that applies to Prototype applies for script.aculo.us too, so read the how to contribute page to see how you can help out here!

The most important change is the update to Prototype 1.5.1 which yields major performance improvements, slick new JSON support and various fixes all around. Note that the version of Prototype that comes with script.aculo.us 1.7.1 beta 1 is actually a few steps ahead of the 1.5.1_rc1 release and already incorporates a few additional fixes, so please use the version that comes with the script.aculo.us download.

The other important feature is experimental sound support for those little .mp3-based sound effects, which works natively in IE, and relies on whatever mp3 plugins are available on other browsers (for Macs, this means quicktime). It's thought as an alternative to flash-based mp3 playback for sounds effects (not music!). Kudos to Jules Gravinese for coming up with the initial implementation of this!

The effects engine has seen some performance overhaul, and together with the new Prototype performance goodnees is screaming fast. Also, a memory leak in the morph code was found and fixed on Firefox. More changes and features added include a new "failure" option to Draggables, and onDropped callback, more customization for in-place editing, and nesting single nodes in the DOM builder.

See the complete announcement for more information and a download link!

You've seen the demos-- now it's prime time!

* Update to Prototype 1.5.0 final

* Change the default setting for effects to support up to 60fps, if renderable by the browser. Add performance info to effects unit test.

* Add hash and CSS className support to Effect.Morph, fixes #6674 [Tobie]
    Examples:
      $(element).morph('myClass')
      // will morph to all the properties specified
      // in .className (in your external stylesheet).
      // All properties which cannot be morphed (such as font-style)
      // will be applied AfterFinish
      $(element).morph('font-size: 10px')  // or
      $(element).morph({fontSize: '10px'}) // will morph the font-size to 10px
      
* Add Element.morph() and Element.Methods.morph() as a shortcut to Effect.Morph
    Example:
      // basic Effect.Morph
      $('error_message').morph('color:#f00;font-size:17px');
      // fade out after a while
      $('error_message').show().morph('font-size:17px').morph('opacity:0',{delay:4});

* Add Effect.Transform that generates parallel executing Effect.Morph sets
    Example:
      // set up transformation
      var transformation = new Effect.Transform([
        { 'div.morphing': 'font-size:20px;padding-left:40em' },
        { 'blah'        : 'width:480px;border-width:10px;border-right-width:20px;margin:200px;margin-bottom:-20px;font-size:30px' }
      ],{ duration: 0.5 });
      // play transformation (can be called more than once)
      transformation.play();

* Add Effect.Morph core effect that morphs to a given CSS style rule. Effect.Morph does take orginal styles given by CSS style rules or the style attribute into consideration when calculating the transforms. It works with all length and color based CSS properties, including margins, paddings, borders, opacity and text/background colors.
    Example:
      new Effect.Morph('mydiv',{
        style: 'font-size:3em;color:#f00;border-width:2em',
        duration: 2.0
      });
      
* New option keepBackgroundImage: true for Effect.Highlight, fixes #5037 [docwhat, tomg]

* Minor tweaks for issues with application/xhtml+xml documents on Firefox, fixes #6836 [sjinks]

* Fix a possible exception with Sortables, fixes #6828 [craiggwilson]
      
* Add a paramName option to the inplace editor for overriding the default parameter name of "value"

The second beta of script.aculo.us 1.7.0 is out now, and adds a cool new CSS classnames based morphing feature, alongside Prototype updates.

Bugs in beta 1 where also addressed, especially Opera compatibility.

Head over to mir.aculo.us to learn what this is about and grab the beta version!

Note: Obviously, the beta version is not recommended for production sites, and syntax might change before it gets stable (but it's pretty much final, so don't be too afraid).
