Another week in retrospect:
Deprecated code
With revision r23139, we removed the deprecated code introduced with version 1.2 of qooxdoo. So now trunk is completely free of deprecations again. For more details, take a look at the corresponding bug report.
Using a deputy
We had a request to add the possibility to specify a deputy as a model in the list data binding. This can be especially handy when using a list or select box within a form. The form demo now shows how to create a form including a select box, all nicely done with data binding.
Fixes
For a complete list of tasks accomplished during the last working week, use this bugzilla query.
New Contrib: CanvasCell
Tobi Oetiker did it again: another high-quality addition made it into qooxdoo-contrib:
That's what he said about CanvasCell: "Haven't you all been dying to get a chance to embed little charts into your qooxdoo tables? Looks so much more fun than all this text and numbers. The structure of the canvascell renderer makes it very easy to add your own plotter objects for creating other nice plots. If you load excanvas, this will even work on IE6-8.
Have a look at the demo source to see how to use the things. If you come up with your own plotters, I'll be glad to add them. I have made CanvasCell available in qooxdoo contrib, so you can grab your copy". Excellent!
JSConf.eu
The European JavaScript Conference is for sure going to be (again) an absolutely top-notch event, nothing less than the annual hotspot of JavaScript goodness. Of course, we just have to be there as well. If you happen to have a ticket, or are in Berlin anyway at that time (weekend of Sep. 25./26, 2010) feel free to drop us a note in advance, so we could possibly arrange for some decent qooxdoo get-together.
Have a nice weekend!
