After only two weeks since the ground-breaking release of qooxdoo 0.6 quite a lot of progress has been made. We have received many contributions and bugfixes from the community. These patches as well as our own  modifications have been integrated into the code base in the ongoing effort to raise qooxdoo's stability.

As has been previously announced, we try to release often, now that some of the most challenging reconstructions like namespaces have been mastered. While API changes for this minor release are negligible, migration scripts are available to upgrade existing applications, of course.

Preliminary browser support for Safari has been introduced. It would be great if Safari users could help in identifying, analyzing and fixing the various layout problems. It is still not recommended to use qooxdoo applications in Safari-based production environments.

Besides bugfixes and stability improvements there are some interesting additions as well. Tabs may optionally include close buttons, the tree widget TreeFullControl now supports multiple root nodes. Iframes containing external documents now have built-in blocking support to not interrupt user actions like drag & drop.

Application development is even faster than before: the easy-to-use make shell commands that generate optimized and tailor-made custom applications run much faster. Users get a jump-start for their application development by using the skeletons included in the qooxdoo SDK.

We would like to thank all people involved in qooxdoo development for their help and contribution. Every user's feedback is important to continuously improve qooxdoo as one of the most amazing JavaScript frameworks around. Enjoy!
