Welcome back to the weekly status update.

After the double release of qooxdoo 2.0 as well as 1.6.1 by the end of last week, we simply skipped the last status update.

New website module: Storage

A new module has been added to the qx.Website library. It contains a cross-browser API to store data offline. Take a look at the qx.Website API viewer to find out more about the API.

Todo app renewed

With the new storage module, we could update one of the demos for qx.Website, the Todo app. That update reduced the lines of code significantly (by about 50% !) due to the new, concise API. Just check out the JavaScript file to see how easy it is.

Animation extended

The animation classes did get some additions this week due to specific requests. We added two new events, known from the CSS3 animation spec. The first one is fired on every iteration of the animation. The second one is fired as soon as the animation starts. While at it, we also added support for delaying animations. Check out the animation compare demo to test-drive the new features, and the corresponding API documentation.

Upcoming release qooxdoo 2.0.1

First of all, thanks for all your feedback which enabled us to fix some issues in the recent 2.0 release. We already fixed them in the code repositories, and for those of you who prefer official releases, we plan to ship a patch release next week including those bug fixes.
