Beta time

This morning I had the pleasure of running our `build_release` script for the first time, and am proud to announce the availability of the first cut of the much-anticipated 1.2.0 release. Secretly, I tried to do it on a holiday (yesterday), but had to nurse the script a little due to internal ops changes regarding svn locations.

So without further ado, I give you:

Dojo 1.2.0 beta1

New Dojo Project Lead?

Today, Alex Russell closed the voting on the unanimous selection of a new Dojo Project Lead: me.

Dojo, floating on AIR

Today SitePen, Inc. announced the release of a co-sponsored "demo" utilizing Adobe's AIR runtime and The Dojo Toolkit affectionately named "The Dojo Toolbox". Don't let the term "demo" fool you though, this thing is a fully functioning application providing a pluggable API built around the question "what can be done offline to better Dojo?" ...

These be updates, folks.

There's been a lot going on in Dojo-Land recently, though our blog is no indication of that fact. Here's a meta-update encompassing all that I can recall:

Announcing: Zend Framework integration of Dojo 1.x

Today marks a very exciting milestone for two great Open Source Products: The Zend Framework and The Dojo Toolkit. Zend aims to provide out-of-the box Ajax functionality capable of communicating directly with the Framework, and Dojo aims to provide the solution.
