Dojo 1.2 Comes Out of the Oven

By Adam DuVander October 10, 2008 Categories: Platforms & APIs, Software & Tools

Dojo the javascript toolkitJavaScript framework Dojo released version 1.2 with so many cool new features Peter Higgins calls it the sliced bread release. The Dojo community spent six months working to address over 1,000 issues.

In addition to bug fixes and speed improvements, Dojo strengthened some of the core tools that set it apart from other frameworks. Dijit, a suite of interface elements, received a visual theme face-lift. DojoX, which provides ways to work with data using Dojo, added a DataGrid component and several new ways to store data.

With all these new features, it’s remarkable that the Dojo file is still shy of 30K. That’s due to the way it handles add-ons. The core file contains common items and useful utilities. Programmers can then expand its functionality by calling other packages.
