[Prototype-core] Roadmap
This is a continuation of the discussion started here: http://github.com/sstephenson/prototype/commit/2f9bde3ad5a2e3dd104c812b6c81f4077fe0aa1e#all_commit_comments It would be very helpful to see some sort of Prototype roadmap or at least be able to see internal discussion about the development of the library. Not only from a personal interest standpoint but I also receive a lot of questions on IRC regarding what Prototype is doing, what's happening with development, c. Unfortunately, right now, I don't really have an information that I can pass on. Tobie mentioned a public read-only interface to internal discussions – this would satisfy my needs. Although a formal roadmap may be beneficial to core devs as well. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Prototype: Core group.

Re: [Prototype-core] Roadmap
I agree that a road map would be helpful. In addition to the reasons gf3 mentioned, I think it would make it easier to contribute.

[Prototype-core] Roadmap
Hi folks, Now that 1.6.0.3 is out the door (kudos!!), is there work toward a roadmap for 1.6.1, 1.6.2, and (gasp) 2.0 in the works? Obviously there was that discussion thread recently, but it was a lot of discussion and relatively little (I think) definitive statement by Core. I know that using wrappers rather than extending native prototypes is on the cards, and inline documentation, both of which (IMHO) are very good moves. What else? Plans can change, of course, but the absense of a plan leads to meandering Thanks, -- T.J.

[Prototype-core] Roadmap for 1.6.1 (My take)
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 (not nessesarily included in 1.6.1) http://prototype.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8886-prototype/tickets?filter=page=1q=state%3Aopen+milestone%3A1.6.1 - JDD --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Prototype: Core group.
