Thanks to Hugh's and Andreas Junghans' investigation we have fixed a Internet Explorer specific memory leak. We suggest that all users of the 0.7.x-line should update the file qx.io.remote.XmlHttpTransport.js as soon as possible.

For SVN users of the trunk and legacy_0_7 folders this file has already been patched. A simple update of the repository should be enough for them.

As there were no other changes to this file since 0.7.1 came out you can use this file for both qooxdoo 0.7.1 and 0.7.2. Users of older versions - especially 0.7 and 0.6.x should update to 0.7.2 as soon as possible. There were a lot of other improvements, too.

Please make sure that you re-run "make" after you have updated the file. Sorry for the inconvenience.

We are proud to announce another bug fix and enhancement release of qooxdoo 0.7.x. While we are spending most of our development time with the new features of qooxdoo 0.8, there have also been some improvements in the stable branch which lead to this new minor version. The highlights of this version are:

A major rework of the rendering logic of the table widget which dramatically improves its performance, especially regarding the scrolling performance. The largest improvement should be visible in Internet Explorer. Thanks to Fabian for his tremdenous work. I think this converts the table from a feature rich table to a feature rich table which performs really well.

qooxdoo 0.7.2 includes a new application called buildtool. This application allows you to configure the Makefile of any qooxdoo application (must be skeleton based) using a nice web interface. It comes with a mini web server to handle the file IO stuff. This is just a first snapshot but works well enough for an initial presentation.

A really long awaited feature is finally included as well: A search feature for the API viewer. You can now easily search the whole API for specific methods, events, properties, etc. You can use this feature in every skeleton based qooxdoo application, too. A simple "make api" now generates the index file for your application so you can search your application classes as well. Many thanks to Stefan for this new feature.

A bunch of new cell renderers and cell editors were added to this release. Thanks to Christian for his work. Now you can for example even better use the table widget as a property editor.

The test runner application is now better integrated into the build system and allows skeleton users to integrate the test runner into their applications. Using this test runner users are easily able to create custom unit tests for their APIs and classes.

Thanks to a backport of some classes created for qooxdoo 0.8 we were able to fix some long outstanding issues regarding typical location finding issues when not using qooxdoo in an application layout but in traditional web pages. In these cases scrolling areas often made problems and lead to wrong positioned menus and combobox lists etc. These issues should now be fixed thanks to Fabians backporting.

There were many other changes and improvements. Please have a look at the release notes.

Enjoy this new release!
