So I&#8217;m going to take some time to talk about some of the plugins in More each month, sharing not only how they work, but how they work together and maybe even why you&#8217;d use them. Today I&#8217;m going to talk about the <code><a href="http://mootools.net/docs/more/Forms/Form.Request">Form.Request</a></code> plugin.</p>

<h3>Request and Request.HTML</h3>

<p>MooTools Core ships with three AJAX modules, two of which include element methods (<code>Request.JSON</code>, the third module, doesn&#8217;t alter the Element prototype). <em><a href="http://mootools.net/docs/core/Request/Request">Request.js</a></em> provides the Element prototype with a <code><a href="http://mootools.net/docs/core/Request/Request#Element:send">send</a></code> method that lets you post a form (as in, <code>$('myFormElement').send([request options go here])</code>), and <em><a href="http://mootools.net/docs/core/Request/Request.HTML">Request.HTML.js</a></em> provides the Element prototype with a <code><a href="http://mootools.net/docs/core/Request/Request.HTML#Element:load">load</a></code> method that lets you replace the contents of any DOM element with text returned from a server request (as in <code>$('myElement').load([request options go here])</code>). I use these fairly often, though I probably use the <code>Request</code> and <code>Request.HTML</code> constructors just as much if not more. But in my own work I found myself needing the combination of these two things; I want to submit the form <em>and</em> load the response into a DOM element. Turns out, I do this all the time.</p>

<p>Part of writing idiomatic MooTools code is encapsulating functionality into Classes. As I&#8217;ve <a href="http://www.clientcide.com/best-practices/jquery-and-the-ajax-experience-programming-to-the-pattern-and-what-really-makes-one-framework-different-from-another/">posted</a> <a href="http://clientcide.com/best-practices/thoughts-on-coding-and-new-classes-as-a-result/">before</a>, I do this with almost all the code that I write. The only code that I author that isn&#8217;t a class (or a static object) is a DomReady statement that instantiates classes. So when I have a pattern as clear as this - submitting a form and updating the DOM with the response - it&#8217;s time to write a class.</p>

<h3>Form.Request</h3>

<p><code>Form.Request</code>, unlike <code>Request.HTML</code>, is not an extension of the <code>Request</code> class (that&#8217;s why it&#8217;s not <code>Request.Form</code>). Because it is not a <code>Request.HTML</code> instance, it has a reference to an instance of <code>Request</code> in it. <code>Form.Request</code>&#8217;s options include a <code>requestOptions</code> object that gets passed along to this instance so you can configure it however you like. By default, <code>Form.Request</code> derives as much as it can from the form element itself. It gets its URL from the action property and the method from the method property. The user submits the form and it cancels the submit event. <code>Form.Request</code> inspects that event to see if the user clicked a button and, if so, sends the name/value of that button along with the data like a regular form submission. Finally, it provides an <code>extraData</code> option so you an send along key/values with the form in addition to those in the inputs that the user fills out.</p>

<p>When the form returns a response, it handles it pretty much how <code>Request.HTML</code> handles any other response. It injects the HTML and evaluates any scripts in the response (this is an option, too).</p>

<p>And what about what we set out to do? To provide a method for Element that is the combo of <code>load</code> and <code>send</code>? The plugin provides the Element prototype with a <code>formUpdate</code> method that works just like those two methods combined (as in <code>$('myForm').formUpdate({ update: $('myTarget') })</code>, which sends the form and updates <code>$('myTarget')</code>).</p>

<h3>Demo Time!</h3>

<p>Here&#8217;s a simple demo to play with. Note how our html is plain old vanilla web 1.0 form stuff. Nothing fancy. And our JavaScript is dead simple (to get the default behavior).</p>

<iframe style="width: 100%; height: 300px; margin-bottom: 10px;" src="http://mootools.net/shell/DCr9w/11/embedded/"></iframe>

<h3>Getting Fancy</h3>

<p>Hmmm. Well, our behavior here leaves a little to be desired. The main thing that seems to be missing is any indication that something is changing - that the form has been submitted and we&#8217;re waiting for a response from the server (MooShell provides a 2 second delay on the response to simulate normal web latency). We could add an event to our instance to tell the user that something is going on, like so:</p>

<iframe style="width: 100%; height: 300px; margin-bottom: 10px;" src="http://mootools.net/shell/DCr9w/6/embedded/"></iframe>

<h3>Getting Fancier</h3>

<p>Here&#8217;s where the fact that this plugin is part of MooTools More comes into play. MooTools More includes a plugin called <code><a href="http://mootools.net/docs/more/Interface/Spinner">Spinner</a></code>. I&#8217;ll talk about it in depth some other time, but in a nutshell, it puts an Ajax indicator over an element that&#8217;s being updated. It integrates with <code>Request.HTML</code> and <code>Form.Request</code> configures it for us. This happens automatically (unless you disable it in the options) and all we have to do is skin it. In this example, I&#8217;ve moved our message (that we&#8217;re sending the submission) into the <code>Spinner</code> options.</p>

<iframe style="width: 100%; height: 300px; margin-bottom: 10px;" src="http://mootools.net/shell/DCr9w/12/embedded/"></iframe>

<p>This magic happens without much effort for us so long as we have <em>Spinner.js</em> in our page. This is the default behavior. We don&#8217;t even have to specify the message text if we&#8217;re content with just the spinner image.</p>

<h3>Even More Integration</h3>

<p>One other thing <code>Form.Request</code> integrates with (also in the MooTools More library, naturally) is <code><a href="http://mootools.net/docs/more/Forms/Form.Validator">Form.Validator</a></code>. That&#8217;s another plugin I&#8217;m not going to spend a ton of time describing in today&#8217;s post - we&#8217;ll save it for a later post as it has lots of nifty things in it. But, basically, <code>Form.Validator</code> (and its subclasses) provide instructions for users who are filling out a form on the fly. <code>Form.Request</code> integrates with it so that you don&#8217;t have to do anything to make them play nice together. Both intercept the submit event and both prevent its default behavior (i.e. sending the form), except that the <code>Form.Validator</code> class only stops it if the form is invalid. If <code>Form.Request</code> didn&#8217;t respect this privilege, it would send our form even if the <code>Form.Validator</code> stopped the default submission event. To get them to cooperate, all you have to do is create an instance of <code>Form.Validator</code> on the form. Example:</p>

<iframe style="width: 100%; height: 300px; margin-bottom: 10px;" src="http://mootools.net/shell/DCr9w/8/embedded/"></iframe>

<p>In this example, we set a minLength value for our form (50 characters). The default html in the textarea is only about 45 characters, so if you just hit submit you&#8217;ll see a red error message show up. Add some more text to our example, hit submit, and the error winks out and our form sends just as before.</p>

<h3>Appending Results</h3>

<p>One last trick up our sleeves here; you can append results instead of overwriting the contents of our target. Think of a to-do list kind of interface, where adding a value adds a new item to a list. To get this behavior, we just substitute <code><a href="http://mootools.net/docs/more/Forms/Form.Request.Append">Form.Request.Append</a></code> into our example. There are some additional options; by default it uses another MooTools More plugin, <code><a href="http://mootools.net/docs/more/Fx/Fx.Reveal">Fx.Reveal</a></code>, to smoothly transition elements into view. You can also specify if the item is appended to the top or the bottom of the container. Example:</p>

<iframe style="width: 100%; height: 300px; margin-bottom: 10px;" src="http://mootools.net/shell/DCr9w/10/embedded"></iframe>

<h3>THEND</h3>

<p>So that pretty much covers <code>Form.Request</code>. I hope you find it as useful as I do. If you find it useful and fun, post a link in the comments showing off what you&#8217;ve done with it. In my next post I&#8217;ll pick another plugin (or plugins) to dig into and show off their capabilities. If there&#8217;s one you&#8217;d like to learn more about, post a suggestion for my next post in the comments.</p>

I expect 2010 to be an even better year for our Framework. As a first step we would like to invite you to meet part of the MooTools Team at the <a href="http://fosdem.org">FOSDEM</a> in February in Brussels where I will do an interesting talk about <a href="http://fosdem.org/2010/schedule/events/mootools">MooTools as a General Purpose Application Framework</a>.</p>

<p>
The real strength of MooTools, however, is you &#8212; the community.  Here are a few of the many great MooTools plugins that were released during the month of December.
</p>

<h3 style="clear: both;">PassShark</h3>

<p>
<a href="http://mootools.net/forge/p/passshark"><img src="/uploads/RoundupDecemberPassShark.png" alt="PassShark" style="float:right;margin:0 0 15px 15px" /></a>
Created by MooTools contributors Luis Merino <code>(<a href="http://twitter.com/rendez">@Rendez</a>)</code> and Nathan Querido <code>(<a href="http://twitter.com/nfq">@nfq</a>)</code>,  PassShark duplicates the iPhone&#8217;s method of password masking.  A great method for making your passworld fields a bit easier to use.

<p>
<a href="http://www.moopix.org/"><img src="/uploads/RoundupDecemberMooPix.png" alt="MooPix" style="float:right;margin:0 0 15px 15px" /></a>
MooPix is not only a MooTools slideshow function but a method for accessing your public Flickr photos.  Though no server side scripting is required, MooPix remains very small.

The API for 1.2 changed quite a bit, so without help upgrading your code can be fraught with danger.</p>

<p>Our solution is an upgrade helper that will allow you to replace your old MooTools 1.1 code with 1.2 code by logging deprecated methods to the console and telling you what needs to be changed.</p>

<p>The upgrade helper also attempts to automatically convert 1.1 calls to 1.2 calls. However, this helper is not really meant to be a compatibility script so much as a script designed to help you migrate your code. In almost all cases methods that have been deprecated or have had their API altered will provide feedback to the console when they are called. Ideally, developers will put this script into their environment with MooTools 1.2, use their application and change all the calls that throw warnings, then remove the upgrade helper from their environment.</p>

<h3>Using the Upgrade Helper</h3>

<p>You can download the upgrade helper on the <a href="http://mootools.net/download#upgrade-helper">MooTools Download Page</a> along with current build of MooTools built for it. This companion library has all the functionality found in MooTools 1.1 (Drag, Accordion, etc. - some of these plugins moved out of MooTools Core and into MooTools More in 1.2).</p>

<p>Simply replace MooTools 1.1 with MooTools 1.2, include the upgrade helper, then include your site&#8217;s code. Browse your site with a browser that provides a console API (we recommend <a href="http://firefox.com">Firefox</a> with <a href="http://getfirebug.com">Firebug</a>) and take note of the warnings thrown (note, you can adjust the logging; see the <a href="http://github.com/mootools/mootools-upgrade-helper#readme">readme</a>). Address these in your code base until you cannot find any more, then remove the upgrade helper. You have now an upgraded website, and you can use the plugins in the <a href="http://mootools.net/forge">Forge</a>!</p>

<p>If you still have warnings after you have finished converting your code, have a look at the <a href="http://docs111.mootools.net/">documentation for 1.1</a> and <a href="http://mootools.net/docs/core/">1.2</a> and also the source code in the <a href="http://github.com/mootools/mootools-upgrade-helper">upgrade helper</a>. Most changes are simple, but may require a change of arguments. There are a few breaking changes but in the vast majority of cases these should not affect you. A complete list of the changes between 1.1 and 1.2 can be found in the readme of the github <a href="http://github.com/mootools/mootools-upgrade-helper#readme">upgrade-helper repository</a>.</p>

<h3>Feedback, Help, and Resources</h3>

<p>The upgrade helper is being released as a beta for now. We&#8217;ve written and run tests against the browsers we support but the real world usage of MooTools will be the real test. As such, we hope that you, the MooTools community, will help us polish this script, by letting us know what features on your sites don&#8217;t work. Bugs can be filed using the <a href="http://github.com/mootools/mootools-upgrade-helper/issues">github issues for the repository</a>.</p>

<p>Arguably, this is something we should have provided long ago. Going forward, we&#8217;ve pledged to make all releases 100% backwards compatible for all documented methods and features.</p>

<p>Should you require any guidance or assistance, you can, as always, find us in the <a href="irc://irc.freenode.net/#mootools">#mootools IRC channel</a>  or post in the <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/mootools-users/">MooTools Google Group</a>.</p>

<p>Last of all, massive thanks to <a href="http://www.nwhite.net">Nathan White</a> and <a href="http://www.siafoo.net/snippet/137">David Isaacson</a>, for their early work on this. In the last few weeks the MooTools Dev team has spent a lot of time making and testing this upgrade helper, but these guys kicked this off with their contributions and they are most appreciated.</p>

<p>Today we&#8217;re introducing a tool that has been in the works for the past few months that we believe will change how our community collaborates forever. Meet <a href="http://mootools.net/forge">the MooTools Forge</a>.</p>

<h3>The Problem</h3>

<p>As a framework, you probably expect MooTools to be compact and provide you with the tools that solve most of your JavaScript problems easily and elegantly and that&#8217;s been our goal all along. But for all the other specific needs that your projects have, no matter what framework, you&#8217;ve probably found yourself googling for plugins or snippets before. No one wants to reinvent the wheel.</p>

<p>That Google search will probably return thousands and thousands of results. Many people have even approached the same problem in many different ways (try <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=mootools+slideshow+plugin">searching for a mootools slideshow plugin</a>!). This distributed model, although relatively effective, represents problems for both users and developers.</p>

<p>For the users, it becomes hard to establish comparisons between the plugins as every developer will represent them differently on their websites. Sometimes it&#8217;s hard to find a demo, sometimes you just don&#8217;t know how to use the thing. Other times the website will be offline for a couple hours, or maybe you don&#8217;t know on what other components the plugin might depends to function.</p>

<p>But can we blame developers? Creating a plugin that you can distribute to people takes work. And for some of us, experience shows that writing documentation, uploading it to our cumbersome blog systems, preparing screenshots (and then upgrading them upon a new release!) can sometimes be even more difficult than writing the plugin itself. Still, there are <a href="http://www.clientcide.com/tools/why-you-should-consider-releasing-code/">some good reasons to consider releasing your code</a>.</p>

<h3>The Solution: for users</h3>

<p>For people trying to find plugins, we wanted a simple interface with <em>visual</em> focus on what&#8217;s available. Going through lists of plugins whose names are not always that intuitive or descriptive is both boring and inefficient. You might find yourself opening dozens of tabs just to see what the plugin can potentially offer. We want to try and put all the information you need to make a choice right in one place.</p>

<p style="text-align:center"><a href="http://cld.ly/4eqbg" target="_blank"><img src="http://cld.ly/2aqbx" alt="Browse plugins" style="float: none"/></a></p>

<p>While each plugin can have tags that you can browse, we also came up with a concise list of categories that group the most recurrent functions: Effects, Forms, Interface, Media, Native, Realtime, Request, Utilities, Widgets.</p>

<p>For plugins themselves, we wanted to make three basic tasks easy: seeing a demo, downloading, learning how to use. This is the result:</p>

<p style="text-align:center"><a href="http://cld.ly/10qbp" target="_blank"><img src="http://cld.ly/bbqby" alt="Browse plugins"  style="float: none" /></a></p>

<p>We believe it&#8217;s important as well to know who is behind the scenes. To see who is that guy or girl that spent the time to create that amazing piece of functionality that impressed your clients or boosted your website usability. As such, the MooTools Plugins repository comes with simple to tools support to allow you to stay in touch.</p>

<p style="text-align:center"><img src="http://cld.ly/15qbz" alt="Browse plugins"  style="float: none"/></p>

<h3>The solution: for developers</h3>

<p>We&#8217;re very proud of how straightforward and efficient we&#8217;ve made it for developers to add plugins that:</p>

<ul>
    <li>look great</li>
    <li>specify dependencies</li>
    <li>have descriptions with syntax highlighting</li>
    <li><strong>are easy to maintain</strong></li>
</ul>

<p>We decided to integrate with <a href="http://github.com">GitHub</a>, the social coding website, to enable developers to focus on the code and nothing else. By following a few simple guidelines, you&#8217;ll be able to deploy code to the source control repository (git), and then only click one button in our website: either the one to add it, or the one to update it.</p>

<p>In the following video, I&#8217;ll show you how I create an account, upload my plugin, and then update it in 30 seconds.</p>

<p><object classid='clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000' codebase='http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,115,0' width='560' height='345'><param name='movie' value='http://screenr.com/Content/assets/screenr_1116090935.swf' /><param name='flashvars' value='i=32643' /><param name='allowFullScreen' value='true' /><embed src='http://screenr.com/Content/assets/screenr_1116090935.swf' flashvars='i=32643' allowFullScreen='true' width='560' height='345' pluginspage='http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer'></embed></object></p>

<h3>Conclusion</h3>

<p>We hope you like this new website feature as much as we do, and we look forward to your involvement and contributions.</p>

<p>As an user of the system, if you see something off or have a suggestion, please <a href="http://mooforge.uservoice.com/">drop us a note</a>.</p>

<p>As the developer and maintainer of the project, I want to give my special thanks to <a href="http://cpojer.net/">Chris</a> (for his help with Markdown parsing), <a href="http://nouincolor.com/">Oskar</a> (for his design help) and the <a href="http://www.symfony-project.org/">Symfony</a> project, for providing us with a great framework to build on, as well as the entire MooTools development team who helped find bugs and provided countless suggestions on how to make it better before we launched it.</p>

<p>But the plugin repository itself wouldn&#8217;t be anything without <em>you</em> - the MooTools Community. As much as the plugins catalog is <em>for</em> you, it must by definition be <em>by</em> you, too. As excited as we are to have this finally online, it doesn&#8217;t compare to our excitement to see what our awesome community comes up with every day.</p>

<p>On another note, the technology that empowers the Forge has been <a href="http://github.com/Guille/PluginsKit">opensourced</a>, for the use of any other open source project.</p>

<p>Happy hacking!</p>

Last weekend a large number of the dev team met up in London to work on various parts of the framework. We thought we&#8217;d share with you what we got up to, some pictures, and give you a quick update on what to expect over the coming months.</p>

<p>Significant progress was made on MooTools 2.0. Additionally, we will be releasing a 1.3 version shortly, which will include some of the awesome stuff from MooTools 2.0, so you can get your hands on it a bit quicker.</p>

<p>MooTools ART also was given some love. One sticking point has been that Internet Explorer does not support the &lt;canvas&gt; tag but now thanks to <a href="http://twitter.com/sorccu">Simo Kinnunen</a> <code>(sorccu)</code> we have a VML adapter so we can push on with this development. We can now combine this with the work <a href="http://www.cloudera.com/blog/2009/10/19/cloudera-desktop-and-mootools/">Aaron Newton has done with Cloudera</a> and we should be able to launch a beta in the coming months. We&#8217;re really excited by ART and hope you are too.</p>

<p>Another way we want to improve the MooTools experience is by adding demos to the documentation, particularly for some of the UI components in More. The Mootorial has always been a fantastic resource and thanks to <a href="http://twitter.com/zalun">Piotr Zalewa</a> <code>(zalun)</code> and the awesome <a href="http://mooshell.net/">MooShell</a> we are now beginning to prepare embedded examples in our documentation. We&#8217;re writing some great snippets and demos and you can expect to see these appearing on our documentation pages over the coming weeks. We really love MooShell and the team have some great improvements to this valuable tool almost ready, including user accounts and versioning. Keep your ears peeled for a blog post with more details soon!</p>

<p>Next year we hope we can organize similar meet-ups that you, the users, can attend. We certainly intend to hold one in London in the spring, and are discussing other venues across the world. We&#8217;re really excited by the prospect of being able to meet people face-to-face and hope that some talks and workshops are something that the community want.</p>

<p>We also want to give a big thank-you to <a href="http://www.abacusemedia.com/">Abacus e-Media</a> for hosting the event. Here are some pictures of the dev team at work:</p>

</ul>

<p>Look forward to an exciting announcement about the Forge which is currently in private beta &#8212; your treasure trove of MooTools plugins will be here in time for Christmas.</p>

Rather than list every single file you depend on, you just list the <em>features</em> you want to use and it computes all the specific files needed and each of the files that they need (and so on), excludes the files you already have, and then injects the remaining scripts into the document, providing a callback.</p>

<p>Unfortunately this method is rather slow. The JavaScript plugin must inject each individual script in the dependency list and all these requests can only go as fast as your browser can make them. As a companion to this plugin, we have also authored a stand alone server side application.</p>

<h3>New Server-Side Depender</h3>

<p>The new server-side depender companion app ships in two forms: a PHP version and a Django version. They each have their own positives and negatives. The PHP version ships with a web-based interface — a builder you can use to check off the things you want in your download (similar to what you see on MooTools.net). On the other hand, the Django version is faster. The Django app caches everything to memory but the PHP version caches results to disk.</p>

<p>Depending on your needs, you can also use these server-side applications to lazy load chunks of functionality on the fly. This obviously requires your application to talk directly to the server when it needs more code. These apps aren&#8217;t designed for enterprise scale.</p>

<p>The server side applications are <a href="http://github.com/mootools/mootools-depender/">available on github</a>. We still consider the state of this project to be <em>beta</em>, but we want to get the tools into your hands now. If you have any feedback or find any bugs, we want to hear about it. Check out <a href="http://github.com/anutron/mootools-depender#readme">the documentation</a> to see how it all works, including the Depender Client(<a href="http://github.com/mootools/mootools-depender/blob/master/client/Docs/Depender.Client.md#readme">docs</a>), which gives you this nifty interface:</p>

<pre><code>    Depender.require({
            scripts: ['DatePicker', 'Logger'], //array or single string for one item
            callback: function() {
                    //your code that needs DatePicker and Logger
            }
    });
    //later, you need to load more dependencies...
    Depender.require({
            scripts: 'Fx.Reveal', //array or single string for one item
            callback: function(){
                    //if, for some reason, Fx.Reveal is available already,
                    //then this function will execute immediately, otherwise it will
                    //wait for the requirements to load
                    $('someElement').reveal();
            }
    });
</code></pre>

<p>Libraries that you download with Depender will all have a standard header that looks something like this:</p>

<pre><code>    //MooTools, &lt;http://mootools.net&gt;, My Object Oriented (JavaScript) Tools. Copyright (c) 2006-2009 Valerio Proietti, &lt;http://mad4milk.net&gt;, MIT Style License.

    //This lib: http://clientcide.com/js/build.php?requireLibs=mootools-core&amp;require=Fx.Reveal&amp;compression=none
</code></pre>

<p>This header includes, among other things, a manifest of the contents of the file and a url that can be used to retrieve it again. This is especially useful if you want to come and download the file again for the latest version.</p>

<p>The builder on MooTools.net does not use Depender yet but we will deploy it there soon. You can see it live on the <a href="http://clientcide.com/js">Clientcide builder</a>.</p>

<p><span id="more-435"></span></p>

<h3>Firefox 3.6 and document.getBoxObjectFor</h3>

<p>
The reason we stress the upgrade to MooTools 1.2.4 and MooTools 1.1.2 is the removal of the <code>document.getBoxObjectFor</code> method in the upcoming Mozilla Firefox 3.6 release. Within the browser detection code of MooTools 1.1 and earlier versions of 1.2, MooTools attempts to identify the Gecko engine by checking for the existence of <code>document.getBoxObjectFor</code>.  Mozilla&#8217;s removal of this method in Firefox 3.6 effectively breaks Gecko detection in MooTools 1.1 and MooTools 1.2.3 down.
</p>

<h3>&#8220;What Effect Does This Have on My MooTools Build?&#8221;</h3>

<p>
Gecko detection is used within MooTools only twice &#8212; both times for event handling:
</p>

<ul>
<li>Event.relatedTarget - Identifies the related target of any given event.  This property is used in multiple places throughout the framework.</li>
<li>The mousewheel event - Firefox identifies mousewheel events using &#8220;DOMMouseScroll&#8221; instead of &#8220;mousewheel.&#8221;</li>
</ul>

<p>These items are at risk to break without upgrading your MooTools build.</p>

<h3>The Solution Moving Forward</h3>

<p>
We have overhauled our browser detection to be based on the user agent string. This has become the standard practice among JavaScript libraries because of potential issues as Firefox 3.6 demonstrates. As browsers grow closer together, looking at “features” to separate them will become more difficult and risky. From this point forward, browser detection will only be used where it would be impossible not to, in order to give the consistent experience across browsers that one would expect from a world-class JavaScript framework.
</p>

<h3>&#8220;Where Can I Download Upgrades?&#8221;</h3>

<p><span id="more-431"></span></p>

<p>Here&#8217;s what&#8217;s in 1.2.4.2:</p>

<ul>
<li><a href="https://mootools.lighthouseapp.com/projects/24057-mootoolsmore/tickets?q=milestone%3A1.2.4.1">roughly a dozen issues fixed or closed (in lighthouse)</a></li>
<li>Numerous documentation updates</li>
<li>Spinner: Adding a getSpinner method to Request in Spinner&#8217;s refactoring of that Class</li>
<li>Spinner: Fixing default styles</li>
<li>Form.Validator, Date: Added Ukrainian translations</li>
<li>Date: Added new Date parser (parses &#8220;Thu Oct 22&#160;08:11:23 +0000&#160;2009&#8221;)</li>
<li>Fx.Accordion: handling the alwaysHide option so you can still have returnHeightToAuto set to true (see <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/mootools-users/browse_thread/thread/27004d2d0dc227c2u">this discussion</a>)</li>
<li>Tips: Restoring arguments to the show/hide events; tip no longer defaults to display:none (this restores the previous behavior)</li>
<li>Fx.Reveal: stores cssText whenever it starts a transition and restores it when it finishes or is canceled, leaving the element without a bunch of inline styles, as if you&#8217;d just done setStyle(&#8216;display&#8217;, &#8216;block&#8217;/&#8217;none&#8217;)</li>
<li>Fx.SmoothScroll: adding a &#8220;scrolledTo&#8221; event</li>
<li>Drag: added new &#8216;stopPropagation&#8217; option</li>
<li>HtmlTable.Select: ensuring that instances only delegates to immediate children (for nested tables)</li>
<li>HtmlTable.Sort.js: detects and sorts date columns more accurately, handles negative integers and floats</li>
<li>Reorganized scripts json so Depender can implement Log</li>
</ul>

<p>As always, if you find any issues, <a href="https://mootools.lighthouseapp.com/projects/24057-mootoolsmore">file tickets</a> and we&#8217;ll get on it.</p>

If we find any serious bugs, though, we&#8217;ll be sure to get fixes into your hands as fast as we can.</p>

<p><span id="more-412"></span></p>

<h3>Non-breaking Changes</h3>

<p>Before we get started telling you all the yummy stuff we&#8217;ve got for you, let us first assure you that the code we released today is 100% backwards compatible with the previous versions. Upgrading should be as simple as dropping the new files in place.</p>

<h3>MooTools Core - 1.2.4</h3>

<p>This version of the MooTools Core is one of the most tested and refined we&#8217;ve ever released. We&#8217;ve fixed numerous small bugs, but the ones you may notice most of all are:</p>

<ul>
<li>Added Trident 6 (IE8) detection</li>
<li>Request can take an instance of <a href="/docs/more/Native/URI">URI</a> as a url</li>
<li>JSON.stringify and JSON.parse native methods are now accessible</li>
<li><a href="/docs/core/Utilities/DomReady">DomReady</a> always fires before load event</li>
<li>Fix for creating a Request in early versions of IE6</li>
<li>Fixes and optimizations for Element.getOffsets</li>
</ul>

<p>This short list doesn&#8217;t do it justice, there have been roughly 70 commits to the core since 1.2.3, but most of these fixes are minor including adding to documentation, adding more tests, etc. The point here is that the 1.2 branch is increasingly stable, which is why we release it so infrequently.</p>

<h3>Gecko (Firefox) Detection in 1.2.4, 1.1.2</h3>

<p>MooTools has always used object sniffing to detect rendering engines, and while not perfect, this method has proved very reliable in recent years.  However, the upcoming Firefox 3.6 marks a shift in our thinking on this subject because Gecko detection will no longer work on it without an update.  We recognize the significance of this, and therefore are releasing updates for both 1.2 and 1.1 because we understand that 1.1 is still in widespread use.</p>

<p>Looking towards 2.0, we have overhauled our browser detection to be based on the user agent string.  We realize that this is not without its forward compatibility risks, however it is the standard practice among JavaScript libraries because of potential issues as Firefox 3.6 demonstrates.  As browsers grow closer together, looking at &#8220;features&#8221; to separate them will become more difficult and risky. User agent strings, on the other hand, have remained very consistent in recent years with the exceptions being in mobile browsers and with Google Chrome coming on stage. With 2.0, browser detection will only be used where it would be impossible not to, in order to give the consistent experience across browsers that one would expect from a world-class JavaScript framework.</p>

<p>For those of you still running 1.1, it is imperative that you update to 1.1.2. When we get 1.1.2 up on Google&#8217;s JavaScript CDN service, those of you requesting 1.0 or 1.1 from that service should see the upgrade without doing anything. If you do not update your 1.1 scripts, users visiting in Firefox 3.6 and beyond will likely encounter issues.</p>

<h3>MooTools More - 1.2.4.1</h3>

<p>While MooTools Core has remained pretty much the same since the original 1.2 release, MooTools More continues to add new features that should make building sites even easier. This release is jam-packed with bug fixes and new plugins, and we&#8217;re excited to see what the community will do with them. Here&#8217;s a quick list:</p>

<h3>Get Coding!</h3>

<p>This release has a lot of good stuff in it, but it&#8217;s worth noting we have a LOT of other things in the oven right now.</p>

<p>The MooTools development team continues to grow and the more people involved with the creation of the framework, the more cool things we can release. If you want to get involved with making MooTools, all you have to do&#8230; is start writing code. Get involved on <a href="http://github.com/mootools">github</a>, in <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/mootools-users">the mailing list</a>, and start getting your own plugins ready for the upcoming release of the MooTools Forge.</p>

This enhanced search has been integrated with the MooTools documentation and will help you easily navigate and identify information in the  documentation better than the previous documentation search.  The new search system also searches multiple domains &#8212; this will allow you to find MooTools demos, forum posts, tutorials, screencasts, and anything MooTools-related.  Initial supporting domains include MooTools.net, Clientcide, The MooTorial, David Walsh Blog, etc.   We will also pay attention to most-searched terms and aim to ensure the search feature is providing sufficient, quality results.
</p>

<p>This enhanced search release is considered beta.  We will soon be adding further enhancements based on team goals (including full site search, etc.) and feedback provided by our most valued asset:  the MooTools community.</p>

<p>Special thanks to <a href="http://twitter.com/fakedarren">Darren Waddell</a> <code>(fakedarren)</code> for all of his hard work in implementing and maintaining the new search system!  </p>
