Changes

NOTE: none of the changes below are breaking changes.

Changes in MooTools More 1.2.4.3

• Nearly 50 bug fixes (see the milestone for 1.2.4.3 in Lighthouse).
• Keyboard:
  • Added some support for just pressing 'shift', 'control', or 'alt'
  • Added a bunch of keycodes for Mac compatibility
• Keyboard.Extras:
  • Support for "shortcuts" which are keyboard entries that have names and descriptions.
  • Also provides methods for listing all the active shortcuts as well as allowing a shortcut to be rebound (for instance, if you were to allow the user to choose a key for a shortcut).
  • Added a change event to Keyboard.manager whenever any keyboard is activated.
• Tips:
  • They work again (I know, that's not really a feature).
  • NEW Tips option "windowPadding" allows you to reduce or expand the virtual size of the window for tip positioning. Defaults to {x:0, y:0}. You can use that is a workaround for the scrollbars not being considered when calculating tip positions.
• HtmlTable:
  • fixed numerous bugs filed in Lighthouse
  • ensuring that HtmlTable doesn't apply it's click behavior more than once...
  • fixing a bug where HtmlTable couldn't push headers defined in the options.
  • reworking HtmlTable's dom a bit to allow for positioning of the sort icon
  • adding new set method for headers and footers.
  • Fixed error in HtmlTable.Parsers when sorting by date. format('db') was being applied to the text and not the date object.
• Array:
  • Added Array.shuffle
• Request.JSONP:
  • making JSONP pass all arguments, not just the first, to its complete/success methods; see this discussion on the google group.
• Fx.Slide:
  • Added an option to specify the wrapper element for Fx.Slide. Was already present in the docs but could not be passed as an option.
• Mask:
  • adding options for the IframeShim for Mask

Changes in MooTools More 1.2.4.2

• Per the change in -core, $ is no longer used (uses document.id instead)
• Element.Measure: trying cssText solution for Element.expose (again).
• Element.Forms: swapping feature detection for browser support per
• Date: Massive refactoring of Date.js and Date.Extras.js
• Drag.Move: Fixing drag with grid issues
• IframeShim: altering zindex assignment in IframeShim to better ensure that it’s always underneath the shimmed element, updating Iframeshim’s empty document creation; fixes https issues in IE6
• FormValidator: reworking formvalidator scroll-to logic to be a little more efficient
• OverText: preventing overtext from focusing on inputs except when they are interacted with (so OverText.update() does not focus an input);now stops polling when elements are hidden (when polling is enabled)
• Fx.Scroll: adding scrollIntoView method - scrolls an element so that it is completely visible; if below the view, scrolls down until it is at the bottom of the screen, if above, scrolls up until it is at the top.
• JSONP: was calling (the deprecated) this.request instead of this.send during retries
• URI: Adding set(‘data’, obj) to set
• Assets: adding error callback for Assets.images
• Tips: removing dependency for Element.Measure for Tips; updating CSS class name in OverText
• Numerous small fixes, speed improvements, documentation tweaks, etc.

Changes in MooTools More 1.2.4.1

• roughly a dozen issues fixed or closed (in lighthouse)
• Numerous documentation updates
• Spinner: Adding a getSpinner method to Request in Spinner's refactoring of that Class
• Spinner: Fixing default styles
• Form.Validator, Date: Added Ukrainian translations
• Date: Added new Date parser (parses "Thu Oct 22 08:11:23 +0000 2009")
• Fx.Accordion: handling the alwaysHide option so you can still have returnHeightToAuto set to true (see this discussion)
• Tips: Restoring arguments to the show/hide events; tip no longer defaults to display:none (this restores the previous behavior)
• 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'd just done setStyle('display', 'block'/'none')
• Fx.SmoothScroll: adding a "scrolledTo" event
• Drag: added new 'stopPropagation' option
• HtmlTable.Select: ensuring that instances only delegates to immediate children (for nested tables)
• HtmlTable.Sort.js: detects and sorts date columns more accurately, handles negative integers and floats
• Reorganized scripts json so Depender can implement Log
