Adobe Flex 2.0.1

Adobe released an update for Flex: 2.0.1. I just wrote (and lost) a review of the new changes, and it's passed 2am, so I'm not writing it again ... In summary, it now has official support for Macs, it has new JIT support for adding/removing modules in runtime, it's moving towards Apollo integration. You can see the official release notes and also check out Ted's detailed review.

jQuery 1.1 alpha released today

jQuery v1.1 alpha was just released. Among the major changes, you would find that

  • Its selectors are 10-20x faster than those in jQuery 1.0.4.
  • The documentation has been completely revamped.
  • The complexity of the API has dropped by 47%.
  • It has a ton of bug fixes.
  • It has a bunch of great new features.

However, before you get too alarmed, I know they will release a 'back-compatibility' plugin, which would help you transition from 1.0.x to 1.1.

I am really excited, benchmarks will come soon, but this release is way faster and supperior, so go ahead, spread the word. I will probably release the beta version of AjaxCFC for jQuery with the official 1.1 release.
