They way I read this <http://sam.conio.net/> I don't expect to be seeing much new funcionality. Perhaps it doesn't need it though ?
Excerpt : "I don’t have a roadmap for Prototype, but version 2.0—the next major release after 1.5—will focus on polishing what we have now, not on adding new functionality. You can expect Base to make its way into Prototype 2.0 in a form that’s backwards-compatible with Class.create and Object.extend."
