0.8-alpha1 release

The major highlight of this week was yesterday when we pushed the 0.8-alpha1 release out of the door, which is a preview release. If you have the chance, do have a look at it.

Timeline

There will be a public holiday here in Germany tomorrow (May 22), and most guys will be off for the weekend. Since conferences are about to start on the weekend as well, most of us will be offline until next Thursday, so please don't be surprised if things queue up a bit. During the conferences we would be really excited to meet some of you, so if you are around come to our booth or to one of the talks or workshops!

Conference demos
You are probably interested in the workshops and presentations we will present next week. We will publish all presentations on this blog after the webinale, but you already can have a look at some of the demos online.

Generator II

We added initial support for running the new generator with a native Python installation in a command box on Windows. Yes, you heard quite right, no Cygwin! Prototypal use of this feature can be seen in the qooxdoo workshop this week.

Have a good time!
