A while ago I was working with another committer in the dojo community on usage of the dojo.data notification APIs. He had hit a problem where it would have been really convenient if the dojo.data Notification functions onSet(), onNew(), and onDelete(), also passed in a reference to the store.

The moment has arrived. I've been anticipating this since the first new fixes to trunk were made, shortly after the 1.0 release. I am proud -- no, elated -- to announce what marks another solid run of around-the-clock development: The Dojo Toolkit version 1.1

The SVN repository is in progress of migration to a new host.

Just after Wolfram landed his new Rating widget in DojoX, I read about Tobi's extension to this widget that uses dojo.gfx! It's a testimony not just to Wolfram's clean implementation, but also to the reusability of the Dojo architecture and the widget system in particular. Nice work, guys!

Scott recently created a diagram outlining the various pieces currently in the grid (click the title to see the diagram)...

Lots of things have been happening in DojoX lately, both big and small. I'll leave it to Pete and Adam to talk about some of the widget-based improvements that have been making their way into the codebase, but I'll talk real quick about some of the other things that have landed recently, and some upcoming things to look for.

Try out the new dijit.layout.BorderContainer widget, now available in trunk. This widget combines the functionality of the LayoutContainer and SplitContainer widgets, and does so with a smaller and simpler implementation.

The first candidate for the 1.0.2 release is available at download.dojotoolkit.org

This is a bug fix release and is fully API compatible with 1.0.0.

A release candidate for the 1.0.1 release is ready.
