HTML_AJAX 0.3.1 Released
HTML_AJAX 0.3.1 have been released today with many bug fixes and improvements including iframe fallback support for Opera and IE with activeX turned off.
HTML_AJAX 0.3.1, in the tradition of most applications on those odd minor version numbers, is mainly a bugfix release. There have been no API alterations and the only significant new feature is the experimental iframe xmlhttprequest fallback.
There were quite a few bugs with the new features from the 0.3.0 release including hanging sync requests on IE 6, multiple javascript errors in IE 5, and some errors releated to the opera workaround introduced in 0.3.0. All these problems have been addressed in 0.3.1. This means that a portion of our roadmap - improving cross-browser support - has been addressed.
A browser compatability test suite is getting close to be added in the development process of HTML_AJAX, which will assure browsers compabilities during development of the project. HTML_AJAX is also getting close to stability with an API able to be integrated in frameworks without breaking code. Great job again Joshua.
