Dojo 0.9 represents a drastic break from the past for the project. Having learned important lessons from 3+ years of deployed Dojo users, Dojo 0.9 and 1.0 are designed to build a re-focused core system, a high-quality widget set, and a clear delineation between what is completely done and what is still in flux. As outlined in the core API refactoring plan document, the goals for the Core redesign are to:

• Remove magical APIs and behaviors
• Pave the fast paths
• What we leave out is as important as what we put in
• Fewer idioms, better applied
• Reward users for using more of Dojo, not less

These basic principles underline a dedicated approach to creating a small, fast, useful, and documented toolkit that still provides access to the entire galaxy of modules provided by current Dojo releases.

Roadmap

The trip to 0.9 is already underway. We're planning two key milestone releases, working outward from Core, then to Dijit, and finally to Dojox. You can find more high level details within this presentation.
