The first release candidate for the latest version of the JavaScript development framework Qooxdoo has been announced on the project's website at qooxdoo.org.  Code release candidates are the latest step prior to the release of an official version, created in order to get user feedback. 


Qooxdoo is an open-source JavaScript-based GUI framework. It helps developers to quickly implement professional AJAX-enhanced web 2.0 applications .

Said the development team: "Many aspects of qooxdoo have been improved to make it an even more professional and complete JavaScript framework.  A lot of issues, that have been brought up and discussed on the mailing list before, have been addressed. Some of the most noticable additions include a qooxdoo-based viewer for the auto-generated API documentation, a more powerful virtual list view and a smart build process that makes optimizing, compressing, linking and deployment of custom applications a snap."

What's new:

  • widgets based on the on the features of the included layout managers, no need to know HTML or CSS
  • built with class-based OO and leverages object-oriented JavaScript. Uses namespaces and does not modify or extend native JavaScript types.
  • full set of widgets similiar to that of native desktop applications, with support for keyboard navigation, focus and tab handling and drag & drop
  • abstract transport layer supports queues, timeouts and implementations via XHR, Iframes and scripts with support for event based programming.
  • build system (generator) to package only the needed classes for optimization when in production
