YQL Rocks!

With a lot of excitement Fabian, Johnny, Martin and Alex from the core team returned from this year's JSConf Europe, held in Berlin on the past
Jython 2.5.1
Jython 2.5.1 came out a few weeks ago. Heavy work has been done on Jython in the last couple of months, also due to Frank Wierzbicki, who unfortunately left the Jython team at Sun recently.
We regularly look at the state of Jython and, also unfortunately, current qooxdoo (0.8.x) does not work with Jython 2.5.1. The implementation [...]

The week in qooxdoo (2009-10-16)
Welcome back to the roll-up of another exciting week in qooxdoo.
Scrolling Menus
For a long time qooxdoo's menu implementation was missing an important feature: If the screen was smaller than a menu required, the menu was cut off and some menu entries could not be selected. This is history. Large menus now use slide bars on-demand [...]
Mouse Capturing
Yesterday we have found solution for a really annoying problem. The problem was that we didn't receive mouse events during drag operation in IE and Firefox if the cursor left the browser viewport. This was especially a problem for our scroll bars. Since qooxdoo 0.8 we render scroll bars using qooxdoo widgets. If the scrollbar [...]
