A number of you have noticed that at times things have been a little wonky with dojotoolkit.org...we're in the process of expanding (and working out kinks with) our server infrastructure. Please be patient; if you run across the "white screen of death", you should be able to try the same link again within a minute. Why? Because we're enabling the ability for you to add comments with the new API doc tool! Go check it out!

DojoX News: updates to charting and crypto, dojox.sketch, more.
Submitted by ttrenka on Mon, 02/11/2008 - 16:18.
Lots of things have been happening in DojoX lately, both big and small. I'll leave it to Pete and Adam to talk about some of the widget-based improvements that have been making their way into the codebase, but I'll talk real quick about some of the other things that have landed recently, and some upcoming things to look for.
A new look is here.

As you're probably noticing, today we launched the new look and feel for Dojo--and it's been a long and hard process.
The Dojo Charting Engine, courtesy of Greenplum and SitePen
Submitted by ttrenka on Wed, 11/08/2006 - 22:27.
Today, Greenplum and SitePen announced the contribution of the new Charting engine to the Dojo Toolkit. Originally designed as the foundation for the Greenplum Monitor--a browser-based database monitoring application to be released later this year--the Charting engine is a cross-browser way of creating very complex charts easily, that can be updated on a regular basis. Some of the features include:
Chart in IE

While I'm at it...the Chart widget is working in full right now in Internet Explorer: check it out. While there's some major refactoring going on with it right now, it should remain stable enough for use in the following browsers: Firefox 1.5+, Opera 9+ and Internet Explorer 5.5+/Win. Current chart types include line, bar (series), area (added today, will be there tomorrow), scatter, and bubble. The only known issue is with Opera 9 and the bubble chart (apparently it doesn't like some attributes).
Request for input: crypto
Submitted by ttrenka on Mon, 09/04/2006 - 23:59.
Hey all,
While trying to finish up tasks for the upcoming 0.4 release (scheduled for late October), I'm looking ahead to the 0.5 release--in which I'm supposed to implement the majority of dojo.crypto. I don't think that will happen in full, so I'd like to prioritize--and I'd like your help. So...
What crypto algorithms would you want to see implemented in Dojo? On my plate right now is the SHA series (different bit depths, up to 256 I think, although I may implement 512 as well), and an implementation of Rjindael.
What else would you like to see?
DOMContentLoaded now the onload event for Dojo
Submitted by ttrenka on Mon, 08/21/2006 - 20:42.
This last weekend I finally implemented Dean Edwards' DOMContentLoaded (with Matthias Miller and John Resig) solution for the dojo.addOnLoad event, as opposed to using the window.onload event to fire all initialization...and so far (with the exception of some minor side effects, notably with widgets that use images for layout) it is working very well--and the bottleneck of initial load performance (you know, where the page seems to take forever to load) has been markedly improved.
New Widget: FilteringTable
Submitted by ttrenka on Fri, 08/18/2006 - 05:36.
I've just finished some final touches on FilteringTable, SortableTable's big (I mean BIG) brother...complete with multiple column sorting, much cleaner data access, the ability to filter, sorting in place...
Canvas Painter: this is the sh*t.

Ok, this is very impressive...and it looks to be built on top of Dojo =)
(damn, I need to get off my butt and get the SVG to VML thing going...)
UPDATED: link is pointing to the latest version now. Thanks Emil!
New Website
Submitted by ttrenka on Tue, 05/16/2006 - 11:24.
So with the release of 0.3, we also (finally) redesigned the website...I'm calling it "Dojo of Summer" and I hope you all like it.
The goal was to make learning about Dojo, seeing what Dojo can really do, and finding out information about Dojo much easier for all. Most of what was on the old site is moved to a special developers page (for those of you who like to get your hands dirty); the home page includes an excellent demo engine designed by Dustin Machi (kudos to Dustin!).
