I haven't seen the official roadmap for 1.6.1.
So here is my take on it.
1.6.0.3 was a bug fix release.
I see 1.6.1 as an optimization and new feature/API release.
I see things like:
* Use of documentFragment (Huge IE boost in spots),
* Use of "_each" instead of "each" in places were we can
* Remove the event onunload mechanism for IE (I have a working
prototype of it)
* Avoiding wrapped methods internally (Element.method(element)
instead of element.method())
* Implement "hasOwnProperty" for Safari 2.0.4 (can finally use it in
the rest of the code)
* Make $H(...).include() work properly
* Pass optional conditionals to methods like Element#show,
Element#hide and others)
* Optimize the Template class.
* Make Element#getStyle automatically convert units to px and handle
the "inherit" style.
* Use of Dimensions class
* Create various methods where needed:
- Object.isNodeList()
- Element#isOrphaned
- Element#getNumericStyle [cssToNumber]
* Ajax Fixes:
- Network error fixes
- Timeout added
- Abort added
- Detect when status 0 is allows (when its ftp or file
protocols)
I am sure I missed a few, but the good news is almost all of these
listed features/modifications have already been programmed. We should
be able to create the tickets and unit tests rather fast.
Do yall have anything else to add?
Here is a list of tickets currently marked to be addressed for 1.6.1
