MochiKit - makes JavaScript suck a bit less
2006-01-XX v1.2 "the ocho"
- Added new MochiKit.Base.findIdentical function to find the index of an
element in an Array-like object. Uses === for identity comparison.
- Added new MochiKit.Base.find function to find the index of an element in
an Array-like object. Uses compare for rich comparison.
- MochiKit.Base.bind will accept a string for func, which will be immediately
looked up as self[func].
- MochiKit.DOM.formContents no longer skips empty form elements for Zope
compatibility
- MochiKit.Iter.forEach will now catch StopIteration to break
- New MochiKit.DOM.elementDimensions(element) for determining the width and
height of an element in the document
- MochiKit.DOM's initialization is now compatible with
HTMLUnit + JWebUnit + Rhino
- MochiKit.LoggingPane will now re-use a _MochiKit_LoggingPane DIV element
currently in the document instead of always creating one.
- MochiKit.Base now has operator.mul
- MochiKit.DOM.formContents correctly handles unchecked checkboxes that have
a custom value attribute
- Added new MochiKit.Color constructors fromComputedStyle and fromText
- MochiKit.DOM.setNodeAttribute should work now
- MochiKit.DOM now has a workaround for an IE bug when setting the style
property to a string
- MochiKit.DOM.createDOM now has workarounds for IE bugs when setting the
name and for properties
- MochiKit.DOM.scrapeText now walks the DOM tree in-order
- MochiKit.LoggingPane now sanitizes the window name to work around IE bug
- MochiKit.DOM now translates usemap to useMap to work around IE bug
- MochiKit.Logging is now resistant to Prototype's dumb Object.prototype hacks
- Added new MochiKit.DOM documentation on element visibility
- New MochiKit.DOM.elementPosition(element[, relativeTo={x: 0, y: 0}])
for determining the position of an element in the document
- Added new MochiKit.DOM createDOMFunc aliases: CANVAS, STRONG
2005-11-14 v1.1
- Fixed a bug in numberFormatter with large numbers
- Massively overhauled documentation
- Fast-path for primitives in MochiKit.Base.compare
- New groupby and groupby_as_array in MochiKit.Iter
- Added iterator factory adapter for objects that implement iterateNext()
- Fixed isoTimestamp to handle timestamps with time zone correctly
- Added new MochiKit.DOM createDOMFunc aliases: SELECT, OPTION, OPTGROUP,
LEGEND, FIELDSET
- New MochiKit.DOM formContents and enhancement to queryString to support it
- Updated view_source example to use dp.SyntaxHighlighter 1.3.0
- MochiKit.LoggingPane now uses named windows based on the URL so that
a given URL will get the same LoggingPane window after a reload
(at the same position, etc.)
- MochiKit.DOM now has currentWindow() and currentDocument() context
variables that are set with withWindow() and withDocument(). These
context variables affect all MochiKit.DOM functionality (getElement,
createDOM, etc.)
- MochiKit.Base.items will now catch and ignore exceptions for properties
that are enumerable but not accessible (e.g. permission denied)
- MochiKit.Async.Deferred's addCallback/addErrback/addBoth
now accept additional arguments that are used to create a partially
applied function. This differs from Twisted in that the callback/errback
result becomes the last argument, not the first when this feature
is used.
- MochiKit.Async's doSimpleXMLHttpRequest will now accept additional
arguments which are used to create a GET query string
- Did some refactoring to reduce the footprint of MochiKit by a few
kilobytes
- escapeHTML to longer escapes ' (apos) and now uses
String.replace instead of iterating over every char.
- Added DeferredLock to Async
- Renamed getElementsComputedStyle to computedStyle and moved
it from MochiKit.Visual to MochiKit.DOM
- Moved all color support out of MochiKit.Visual and into MochiKit.Color
- Fixed range() to accept a negative step
- New alias to MochiKit.swapDOM called removeElement
- New MochiKit.DOM.setNodeAttribute(node, attr, value) which sets
an attribute on a node without raising, roughly equivalent to:
updateNodeAttributes(node, {attr: value})
- New MochiKit.DOM.getNodeAttribute(node, attr) which gets the value of
a node's attribute or returns null without raising
- Fixed a potential IE memory leak if using MochiKit.DOM.addToCallStack
directly (addLoadEvent did not leak, since it clears the handler)
2005-10-24 v1.0
- New interpreter example that shows usage of MochiKit.DOM to make
an interactive JavaScript interpreter
- New MochiKit.LoggingPane for use with the MochiKit.Logging
debuggingBookmarklet, with logging_pane example to show its usage
- New mochiregexp example that demonstrates MochiKit.DOM and MochiKit.Async
in order to provide a live regular expression matching tool
- Added advanced number formatting capabilities to MochiKit.Format:
numberFormatter(pattern, placeholder="", locale="default") and
formatLocale(locale="default")
- Added updatetree(self, obj[, ...]) to MochiKit.Base, and changed
MochiKit.DOM's updateNodeAttributes(node, attrs) to use it when appropiate.
- Added new MochiKit.DOM createDOMFunc aliases: BUTTON, TT, PRE
- Added truncToFixed(aNumber, precision) and roundToFixed(aNumber, precision)
to MochiKit.Format
- MochiKit.DateTime can now handle full ISO 8601 timestamps, specifically
isoTimestamp(isoString) will convert them to Date objects, and
toISOTimestamp(date, true) will return an ISO 8601 timestamp in UTC
- Fixed missing errback for sendXMLHttpRequest when the server does not
respond
- Fixed infinite recusion bug when using roundClass("DIV", ...)
- Fixed a bug in MochiKit.Async wait (and callLater) that prevented them
from being cancelled properly
- Workaround in MochiKit.Base bind (and partial) for functions that don't
have an apply method, such as alert
- Reliably return null from the string parsing/manipulation functions if
the input can't be coerced to a string (s + "") or the input makes no sense;
e.g. isoTimestamp(null) and isoTimestamp("") return null
2005-10-08 v0.90
- Fixed ISO compliance with toISODate
- Added missing operator.sub
- Placated Mozilla's strict warnings a bit
- Added JSON serialization and unserialization support to MochiKit.Base:
serializeJSON, evalJSON, registerJSON. This is very similar to the repr
API.
- Fixed a bug in the script loader that failed in some scenarios when a script
tag did not have a "src" attribute (thanks Ian!)
- Added new MochiKit.DOM createDOMFunc aliases: H1, H2, H3, BR, HR, TEXTAREA,
P, FORM
- Use encodeURIComponent / decodeURIComponent for MochiKit.Base urlEncode
and parseQueryString, when available.
2005-08-12 v0.80
- Source highlighting in all examples, moved to a view-source example
- Added some experimental syntax highlighting for the Rounded Corners example,
via the LGPL dp.SyntaxHighlighter 1.2.0 now included in examples/common/lib
- Use an indirect binding for the logger conveniences, so that the global
logger could be replaced by setting MochiKit.Logger.logger to something else
(though an observer is probably a better choice).
- Allow MochiKit.DOM.getElementsByTagAndClassName to take a string for parent,
which will be looked up with getElement
- Fixed bug in MochiKit.Color.fromBackground (was using node.parent instead of
node.parentNode)
- Consider a 304 (NOT_MODIFIED) response from XMLHttpRequest to be success
- Disabled Mozilla map(...) fast-path due to Deer Park compatibility issues
- Possible workaround for Safari issue with swapDOM, where it would get
confused because two elements were in the DOM at the same time with the
same id
- Added missing THEAD convenience function to MochiKit.DOM
- Added lstrip, rstrip, strip to MochiKit.Format
- Added updateNodeAttributes, appendChildNodes, replaceChildNodes to
MochiKit.DOM
- MochiKit.Iter.iextend now has a fast-path for array-like objects
- Added HSV color space support to MochiKit.Visual
- Fixed a bug in the sortable_tables example, it now converts types
correctly
- Fixed a bug where MochiKit.DOM referenced MochiKit.Iter.next from global
scope
2005-08-04 v0.70
- New ajax_tables example, which shows off XMLHttpRequest, ajax, json, and
a little TAL-ish DOM templating attribute language.
- sendXMLHttpRequest and functions that use it (loadJSONDoc, etc.) no longer
ignore requests with status == 0, which seems to happen for cached or local
requests
- Added sendXMLHttpRequest to MochiKit.Async.EXPORT, d'oh.
- Changed scrapeText API to return a string by default. This is API-breaking!
It was dumb to have the default return value be the form you almost never
want. Sorry.
- Added special form to swapDOM(dest, src). If src is null, dest is removed
(where previously you'd likely get a DOM exception).
- Added three new functions to MochiKit.Base for dealing with URL query
strings: urlEncode, queryString, parseQueryString
- MochiKit.DOM.createDOM will now use attr[k] = v for all browsers if the name
starts with "on" (e.g. "onclick"). If v is a string, it will set it to
new Function(v).
- Another workaround for Internet "worst browser ever" Explorer's setAttribute
usage in MochiKit.DOM.createDOM (checked -> defaultChecked).
- Added UL, OL, LI convenience createDOM aliases to MochiKit.DOM
- Packing is now done by Dojo's custom Rhino interpreter, so it's much smaller
now!
2005-07-29 v0.60
- Beefed up the MochiKit.DOM test suite
- Fixed return value for MochiKit.DOM.swapElementClass, could return
false unexpectedly before
- Added an optional "parent" argument to
MochiKit.DOM.getElementsByTagAndClassName
- Added a "packed" version in packed/MochiKit/MochiKit.js
- Changed build script to rewrite the URLs in tests to account for the
JSAN-required reorganization
- MochiKit.Compat to potentially work around IE 5.5 issues
(5.0 still not supported). Test.Simple doesn't seem to work there,
though.
- Several minor documentation corrections
