We're now very close to a major milestone on the project. A 1.0 release candidate was tagged this morning. This wouldn't have happened without the heroic efforts and sleepless nights of many of our contributors, notably dante and alex.

Please try it out and report any problems you find to trac.dojotoolkit.org

Great news!
Looks good.
I tried the ZIP download. Seems like format.js for date is missing. Or do I miss something?
:-) stw
perhaps you want dojo/date/locale.js?
We moved code around in the 0.9 reorg. At least I think we had it there prior to 0.9?
Sorting error
just fyi:
clicking header to sort in test_edit_dijit.html generates an error 'inCompare is not a function'
Please use trac.dojotoolkit.org for bugs
Yeah, I noticed the same thing. Thankfully, it was fixed just a few minutes ago

In the future, please report all issues directly to trac.dojotoolkit.org (guest/guest) where it can get triaged immediately. The blog isn't the quickest way for us to consume this type of information.
Question about grids
Will more than one level of nesting be supported (i.e. grid nested in a grid nested in another grid)?
Will the grid widget be promoted from dojox to dijit in the final 1.0 release?
Grid is in dojox for 1.0
I'm certain we're not moving code between now and the final release. Long term, I don't think it's been decided if Grid will move into Dijit or not. That's probably a better question for the Dijit forum.
Same for the nesting of grids -- I think that's also a question for the forums.
Thanks to your contribution
Great work, guys.
I'd been attracted by dojo and trying it from dojo 0.2 version. Each release brings me more surprise and the dojo framework seems much more flexible and useful than before. Now finally we get the 1.0 release. It's a long way we had already had, and another long way waiting us ahead.
Please continue your great work, dojo team. I believe dojo will bring a whole new world to the next generation's HTML development.
I can't use.
I can't use this new version of dojo because
there aren't dijit.MenuBar and dijit.MenuBarItem.
Moreover, dijit.Toolbar is useless as a menubar.
Desktop widgets needed
MenuBar was a casualty of the rewrite. We had to make things simpler and reduce the number of widgets and this is the initial set we came up with. I wonder if Toolbar could be tweaked (the mouseover behavior is obviously missing) or if a new widget is needed. A number of Desktop-like widgets were left out of Dijit, and we hope that these will reappear in a dojox project. Dojox.desktop anyone?
please search/read the
please search/read the forums before asking such questions. :) (there's a post titled dojox.desktop proposal in dojox forums)
Most of the dojox.layout code wants to be dojox.Desktop -- but time does not permit.
any helper volunteers? please step up.
