Mootools 1.1 hits the shelves
Woot. Mootools 1.1 is out and it’s awesome. Mootools r87 was the first stable release of the framework (end of Nov. of 06). Mootools 1.0 came out (r241) at the end of Jan. and was a huge improvement, adding functionality, documentation (I wrote those, thank you very much), and numerous bug fixes.
There’s a reason 1.1 has been 4 months in the making. Really, this is the first FULL release of the framework if you ask me. 1.0 signaled the point where the API stopped changing, so most of your code written for 1.0 will work fine with 1.1, but 1.1 has so much polish. 1.1 is revision 565.
Numerous bugs are fixed, lots of new functionality is added, and the thing is blazing fast.

Expect to see a new Mootorial soon. We’ll also be updating our own code to 1.1. So far, it looks like all our stuff works fine with it, but we haven’t tested thoroughly yet.
Congrats to Valerio and everyone else who put a lot of work into this.
Sexy.
Damn, Aaron had the best announcement :D
Long live the Moo!
I’ve been working through the Mootorial. Should I just stop and wait until the new one is out? I dont’ want to do it twice.
There’s only one example in the Mootorial that doesn’t work, but there are a lot of changes. Things like Object.extend is now just $extend, for example. And there’s a lot of new functionality. We’ll try and highlight what’s different in 1.1 so you can skim through. It’s probably going to be the end of next week before it’s released.
very good.
