Hi,

I know it is too late, and I do think the 5.2 release should move forward,
but there is one nasty problem that plagues T5 at the moment: IE9
compatibility. Prototype 1.6.1 does not support IE9 and the now released 1.7 
breaks T5(.2)'s ajax javascript handling. The finishing touch is that
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-648 is still not fixed properly,
so we can't instruct IE9 to render (and interpret javascript) using the
working ie8 engine. Every T5 app will be broken for IE9 users.. :/

I hope this will be addressed soon. 

The error that happens w/ IE9 + T5.2 (Proto 1.6.1) can be reproduced quite
easily: just browse to a site implemented using T5, make sure the IE9 is in
IE9 browser and page mode and use any ajax functionality. (Example:
http://jumpstart.doublenegative.com.au/jumpstart/examples/javascript/ajaxactionlink)

The T5.2 + Proto 1.7 problem can be reproduced with AJAX response that
includes JS - nothing is evaluated.

Microsoft is pain in thy arse, I know, but the end user does not care -
either it works or not and now we're losing revenue here when ever suer has
IE9 ...

 - Ville
