To make it easier to follow the often fast-paced development of qooxdoo, we try to establish a summary of activities on a weekly basis. This is a first wrap-up of this week's updates in the qooxdoo world:

qooxdoo 0.8:

• Cross-browser focus and tab handling implemented, both low-level at the DOM and high-level at the widget system.
• ScrollBar widget to replace native scrollbars already used in List and Tree widgets.
• New qooxdoo theme: See a first demo
• Generator: config.json for framework and general application, 'api' job running in framework; initial support for image slicing and combining; updated generator config page

General:

• qooxdoo-contrib: heavy work has being done on HtmlArea and qcl.
• If you haven't tried out yet, do so: QWT - the qooxdoo Web Toolkit (similar to GWT)
• qooxdoo-specific support for the Eclipse IDE is coming. Stay tuned for an early preview of the qooxdoo Development Toolkit, which is expected to be available soon...
