Some one today asked about the next release, which was timely as Ive
been writing this email for a few days.

Im working on getting the next release out soon - maybe next week. 
The following bugs have been fixed:
   table using id and reg exp is not found
   checkboxes have extra events 
   wrong objects are sometimes found
   wait for page load on new windows
   flash for objects in table cells
   checkbox#value exception (may have been done in refactoring - need to
verify)

And the following new features
   flash for forms
   iterator objects now have a show method, eg ie.buttons.show
   can now specify a default attribute, eg
          ie.default_attribute = :id
          ie.text_field( 'abc1').set('Testing')
      there is also a default for particular element types, 
          ie.set_default_attribute_for_element( :button , :id)
          ie.button( 'b1').click
   tablecell#colspan  - returns the number of columns the cell spans. Is
this method named correctly?

And some other possible bug fixes/new features if time permits.
    Fix for using :value
    improve javascript popups handling ( ihave a few ideas, details in a
separate email if I get to it)
    find frame using :name and reg exp
    frames iterator
    show_windows
    .style to be deprecated replaced with something like .dhtml_class (
suggestions for method name please)

Now, one of the refactorings that has taken pace has the potential to
break some code. I doubt it will happen to many people. If you are using
code like the following in your scripts, please can you let me know, so
we can try to accommodate you.

   Class ObjectActions
        def my_own_special_mrthod
            # some code 
        end
   end

Im sure not many, if anyone is doing this, but please let me know if you
are.


Are there any other things that people need urgently, or any bugs Im
missing?

Thanks

Paul
