Notes

To turn off MochiKit's export feature (which may be necessary for compatibility with some existing code), do this before loading MochiKit:

<script type="text/javascript">MochiKit = {__export__: false};</script>

When export mode is off, you must use fully qualified names for all MochiKit functions (e.g. MochiKit.Base.map(...)).

• Fixed a potential IE memory leak if using MochiKit.DOM.addToCallStack directly (addLoadEvent did not leak, since it clears the handler)

• Fixed ISO compliance with toISODate
• Added missing operator.sub
• Placated Mozilla's strict warnings a bit
• Added JSON serialization and unserialization support to MochiKit.Base: serializeJSON, evalJSON, registerJSON. This is very similar to the repr API.

2005-08-12 v0.80

• Source highlighting in all examples, moved to a view-source example
• Added some experimental syntax highlighting for the Rounded Corners example, via the LGPL dp.SyntaxHighlighter 1.2.0 now included in examples/common/lib
• Use an indirect binding for the logger conveniences, so that the global logger could be replaced by setting MochiKit.Logger.logger to something else (though an observer is probably a better choice).
• Allow MochiKit.DOM.getElementsByTagAndClassName to take a string for parent, which will be looked up with getElement
• Fixed bug in MochiKit.Color.fromBackground (was using node.parent instead of node.parentNode)
• Consider a 304 (NOT_MODIFIED) response from XMLHttpRequest to be success

2005-08-04 v0.70

• New ajax_tables example, which shows off XMLHttpRequest, ajax, json, and a little TAL-ish DOM templating attribute language.
• sendXMLHttpRequest and functions that use it (loadJSONDoc, etc.) no longer ignore requests with status == 0, which seems to happen for cached or local requests
• Added sendXMLHttpRequest to MochiKit.Async.EXPORT, d'oh.
• Changed scrapeText API to return a string by default. This is API-breaking! It was dumb to have the default return value be the form you almost never want. Sorry.
• Added special form to swapDOM(dest, src). If src is null, dest is removed (where previously you'd likely get a DOM exception).
• Added three new functions to MochiKit.Base for dealing with URL query strings: urlEncode, queryString, parseQueryString
• MochiKit.DOM.createDOM will now use attr[k] = v for all browsers if the name starts with "on" (e.g. "onclick"). If v is a string, it will set it to new Function(v).
• Another workaround for Internet "worst browser ever" Explorer's setAttribute usage in MochiKit.DOM.createDOM (checked -> defaultChecked).
• Added UL, OL, LI convenience createDOM aliases to MochiKit.DOM
• Packing is now done by Dojo's custom Rhino interpreter, so it's much smaller now!

• Beefed up the MochiKit.DOM test suite
• Fixed return value for MochiKit.DOM.swapElementClass, could return false unexpectedly before
• Added an optional "parent" argument to MochiKit.DOM.getElementsByTagAndClassName
• Added a "packed" version in packed/MochiKit/MochiKit.js
• Changed build script to rewrite the URLs in tests to account for the JSAN-required reorganization
• MochiKit.Compat to potentially work around IE 5.5 issues (5.0 still not supported). Test.Simple doesn't seem to work there, though.
