If you've found an issue with Dojo, filing a bug is simple: 1. Create an account (to reduce spam) 2. File a bug We encourage you to be as specific as possible about your issue.

This week's highlights include the release of Dojo 1.4.2, the first Dojo security advisory in 2+ years, a number of great Dojo articles and tutorials, and many improvements.

If you have Dojo 0.4 through Dojo 1.4 installed on your site, you are strongly encouraged to read all of this message and take immediate action. We recently had a security review done on the Dojo codebase, and some issues were discovered. Most of the issues were in test files or related PHP files, but there were some issues discovered with a few files used by modules. You are strongly encouraged to remove some files immediately to give yourself the best protection. While we are not aware of any specific exploits, we take security issues very seriously and we encourage you to take quick preventative action. Quick instructions Some of the files listed below may not be in your version or build of Dojo. These instructions are listed to be comprehensive across all the Dojo versions. 1.

This week's highlights include a few new Dojo sites and steady improvements to Dojo.

This was an exciting week for the Dojo Toolkit project, with the dojo.connect online conference, and the unveiling of the completely redesigned web site.

The 1.4.1rc1 release is now available for testing at http://download.dojotoolkit.org/release-1.4.1rc1/ Given the timing of the Firefox 3.6 release, this is a great opportunity to test for regressions. Please try testing on the new Firefox release (or any other browser) and report your results by EOB Friday. Thanks!

This year we wanted to create an Dojo Conference / Event that is more inclusive for the Dojo Community than our traditional Dojo Developer Days. To that end, we have established a Dojo Conference, dojo.connect to provide an online virtual conference so that more people may attend and learn Dojo. The full conference is three days long, with the first two days consisting of practical sessions on how to use Dojo to build amazing web apps. The third day will consist of round tables and discussions centered around Dojo's future developmental goals. These days many conferences are simply big marketing and networking exercises and can be very expensive to attend. This is especially true when travel is taken into account. It is often impractical for foreign visitors to come to the US to attend a conference or to get many US developers to attend overseas. Dojo.connect is different in that ...

There are a lot of great new features in the 1.4 release, all of which are document in the release notes. I just wanted to document a few of the especially big changes in dijit: - Jared has done a lot of work on Editor, split between dijit.Editor and the dojox.editor plugins, including a full-screen mode plugin. - Shane implemented scrolling tab labels (you've seen these at the top of your browser window); they are quite useful when they are lots of tabs in a single TabContainer. - Multiple dialogs now can be opened too (one on top of the other). - Finally, there was a lot of refactoring work done to fix architectural issues, particularly with ContentPane and Tree. Anyway, check out the release notes for all the details!
