Rails spinoffs - Sep 2005 - Prototype 1.4.0_pre4 + script.aculo.us 1.5_pre4?

Hello,

I''m maintaining the PEAR-installable PHP packages for both
script.aculo.us
and Prototype on Pearified.com.

I saw the 1.5_pre4 release of script.aculo.us yesterday, and would like to
release the update on Pearified.com, but don''t want to release hacked
versions of Prototype.

I saw that Prototype was updated to 1.4.0_pre4 yesterday as well ... Is that
a suitable package to make script.aculo.us 1.5_pre4 dependent upon? I see
that the script.aculo.us trunk was updated to Prototype 1.4.0_pre4 today, so
I''m hoping that a script.aculo.us 1.5_pre4 package that''s
dependent upon a
Prototype 1.4.0_pre4 release is going to work.

Any insight into this? (pre pre pre pre ... I know my question is hard to
read! Sorry about that ....)

Thanks,
Clay

Heya!

I think it might be better to wait for the final non-pre versions to  
arrive,
as they will be better suited for live sites.

Prototype 1.4.0_pre4 and script.aculo.us 1.5_pre4 will probably play  
nice
together, but I haven''t tested it.

Thanks for the work on the PHP packages btw. :)

Well, I''m tagging all the "pre" versions as beta-quality, and
the PEAR
installer for PHP defaults to "stable" level packages only. So, by
default,
someone entering:

$ pear list-upgrades -c pearified.com

... Won''t see the ''pre'' packages as available upgrade
options. Only those
who''ve specifically said they want beta (or alpha) level packages would
see
the ''pre'' packages.

Because of that, I think it helps to get the ''pre'' packages
out there so
that those who are brave can install, test and report issues.

After running a diff on Prototype 1.4.0_pre4 and the prototype.js
that''s in
the script.aculo.us trunk, it looks like the only real significant
difference is the /Konqueror|Safari|KHTML/ (trunk) vs
(navigator.appVersion.indexOf(''AppleWebKit'') > 0 (p
1.4.0_pre4) checks.

I assume that you guys are in pretty close contact with Sam, but I
don''t
know for sure? Do you know if he''s planning to integrate this patch?

You''re welcome! Just trying to spread the love to the non-Rails users
out
there. : )

Sure, please do. The more people get their hands on this the more  
bugs will
be found. :)

We are in contact, yeah. This fix/check is pending for a while now, but
I guess Sam has been pretty busy setting up his company. :)

So yeah, this change and other things should make it in a
Prototype 1.4.0 final (or another beta).
