Good news to every developer of modern web applications. After more than 5 years (IE6 was released in August 2001) we all hope to see IE7 fix some of the most severe problems and bugs of IE6. All qooxdoo-based applications are expected to benefit from IE7, particularly due to the dramatic JavaScript performance improvements that we reported earlier.
qooxdoo fully supports IE7. It would be great if qooxdoo users and developers could continue to test and double-check their applications for IE7 compatibility. Please report any IE7 issues in bugzilla as soon as possible.
Enjoy ... and good luck!

Couldn’t find an obvious normal channel to notify you of a website problem (which is itself a problem) downloading the toolkit.
The only link from SourceForge (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/qooxdoo/qooxdoo-0.6.1-build.zip?download) fails to allow the download.
Is there some other way to download the toolkit?

Hi, Jim,
entering a bug report about website problems into Bugzilla (see “Bugs” in top navigation) is the preferred way, in case you do not want to post to the mailing list.
Anyway, I could not reproduce your problems regarding the download of the qooxdoo archive. Maybe it was a temporary outage of the server you chose? Please try again and make sure your system configuration is ok for large zip downloads.

Hi guys,
I was just checking out the demo on IE 7.0.5730.11 (which should be the most recent version) on XP. And well … err … the list and table demo does not show bad performance but it shows no performance at all.
Just try to scroll. It is *very* slow. On FF everything is fine …
Is it my machine / config or where did the dramatic performance improvements go?

Daniel, the scrolling performance in IE is really bad. It seems we need some more optimizations in this area.
