Ajaxian is running a new version of their Ajax survey for those that are interested in taking part in such things.

Dojo 1.0.1 has been released. Users of 1.0 are encouraged to update, and should have no issues with the migration. As mentioned previously, this release fixes 40+ bugs from 1.0, but there are no API changes.

Later today (Wednesday), Adam and/or Alex will push Dojo 1.0.1 live to the world. It’s been an odd year with holiday releases:

Thanksgiving: 1.0.1
Christmas: 1.0.2 (planned)

Please give it a try and report any regressions. Assuming things go well, we’re releasing Dojo 1.0.1 on Wednesday in time for Thanksgiving.

If you have questions or would like to request training in your area of the world, please [...]
