The 1.4.1rc1 release is now available for testing at http://download.dojotoolkit.org/release-1.4.1rc1/
Given the timing of the Firefox 3.6 release, this is a great opportunity to test for regressions. Please try testing on the new Firefox release (or any other browser) and report your results by EOB Friday. Thanks!
This year we wanted to create an Dojo Conference / Event that is more inclusive for the Dojo Community than our traditional Dojo Developer Days. To that end, we have established a Dojo Conference, dojo.connect to provide an online virtual conference so that more people may attend and learn Dojo. The full conference is three days long, with the first two days consisting of practical sessions on how to use Dojo to build amazing web apps. The third day will consist of round tables and discussions centered around Dojo's future developmental goals.
There are a lot of great new features in the 1.4 release, all of which are document in the release notes. I just wanted to document a few of the especially big changes in dijit:
- Jared has done a lot of work on Editor, split between dijit.Editor and the dojox.editor plugins, including a full-screen mode plugin.
- Shane implemented scrolling tab labels (you've seen these at the top of your browser window); they are quite useful when they are lots of tabs in a single TabContainer.
... and without further ado, I proudly present to the community Dojo 1.4.0 final. This one has been a long time coming. Nine months of non-stop development, a few new committers and nearly 1000 closed issues cumulatively creates our fastest, most stable Dojo release to date.
Hi all,
A few days ago we put out the second (and hopefully last) 1.4 release candidate. Please give it a final check, reviewing the release notes and filing any bugs (don't forget to attach a test case after filing the ticket).
If all looks good we'll make the release on Monday.
Thanks!

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 bugs (don't forget to attach a test case after filing the ticket).
Thanks!
Bill
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.
