Dojo 1.16 released

Uncategorized

While the majority of our attention goes into modern Dojo, today we’ve released Dojo Toolkit 1.16.0 which includes a few minor updates contributed over the past few months, as well as patch update releases 1.15.1, 1.14.4, 1.13.5, 1.12.6, and 1.11.8.

Please let us know if you have any issues with these releases. Enjoy!

Dojo 1.14 released

Announcements

While most of our attention recently has gone into the new modern Dojo framework releases, we are still maintaining and updating versions of Dojo 1.x as we receive pull requests and updates.

Today we are pleased to announce version 1.14 of the Dojo Toolkit, as well as backported releases 1.13.1, 1.12.4, 1.11.6, and 1.10.10. Note that we will no longer be shipping updated releases prior to 1.10, though you may of course still build your own version from source. Patches are still backported, but the time to push a release for each version is non-trivial.

As these releases are smaller in nature, it is fairly easy to look at the commit history to see what has changed. For example, the Dojo package commit history has details about the Dojo package.

We did receive two small security related reports. These issues are unlikely to impact most of our users in production, but are worth reviewing:

Updated releases on the Google CDN are forthcoming.

Thanks for your help in making this release possible. Please let us know if you have any issues. Note that all bug reports should now be filed on GitHub.

Case study: Softeco Sismat (TELL ME Project, #2)

Case Studies

The large companies that use Dojo are widely known. This series features lesser known users of Dojo, and their stories. Eight months ago, we conducted a case study about the TELL ME project with Stefano Bianchi from Softeco Sismat, an ICT Italian company.

Case study: HPCC Systems

Case Studies

The large companies that use Dojo are widely known. This series features lesser known users of Dojo, and their stories. This time, we interview Gordon Smith from HPCC Systems, a subsidiary of LexisNexis RISK Solutions.

Q: How did you first learn about Dojo?

A: Through Google / Stack Overflow. I suspect my “discovery” of Dojo was a bit different to the norm, as prior to 2013 I had never really done any Web Development. Up until then I was predominantly a C++ Developer, some Java and a smattering of C#. Initially I wanted to knock together a single page proof of concept, consisting of a code editor (CodeMirror), a result view (HTML Table) and an “activity graph” (ActiveX Control) and wanted something that would handle the layout, resizing and ideally something with splitters – after a few searches online I found the Border Container Docs and away I went! Shortly after, I added a Tab Container and switched to using the basic Grid.
