Hi Dojo-ers, Almost there on the 1.4 release... we just put out the first (and hopefully only) 1.4 release candidate. Please give it a final check, reviewing the release notes and filing any

Many thanks to Tom Mahieu who organized the next dojo.beer("Antwerpen"), tomorrow November 17th in Antwerpen during the Devoxx. If you are near the conference, go and join this event and enjoy an evening full of JavaScript, Dojo and much more. The event starts at 9pm, make sure you bring some of your Dojo work to you can show what you have done.

Hey Dojo'ers! I am pleased to announce I just cut the official 1.4.0 beta2 release, available for early testing. Please give it a spin, test against existing applications and report any issues back to us at bugs.dojotoolkit.org. Barring any unforeseen regressions we should have the final release ready on schedule for a "near-Thanksgiving" release (in the past, though not intentionally, we've always released our finals on-or-around American national holidays, and 1.4 is looking to be the same).

We just released our [first] beta for dojo 1.4. There are a lot of new features in this release and we are really excited about it. Please help us test it, particularly for regressions from 1.3. There are too many changes to mention here but they include a bunch of new plugins for the Editor, a lot of new functionality for the Grid (called EnhancedGrid), scrolling tab labels, and a number of enhancements for the Tree.

Thanks to work from Becky and David at IBM in ticket #6430, we can finally remove the underscore from dijit._Calendar. The underscore was there all this time, even though _Calendar itself was a functioning standalone widget, because it did not meet dijit's policy that all widgets must be accessible. DateTextBox has always used the Calendar code as a popup, but strictly speaking, the user did not need to use the calendar to navigate dates, so dijit._Calendar was officialy a private implementation for the DateTextBox form widget.
