Script.aculo.us 1.5 RC5
Why are you covering an RC5 build?, I hear you ask. Well, because Thomas (and a growing team) tends to put cool features into every build :)
The latest build does more than fix a few bugs here and there, before we get to 1.5 final.
It also adds:
- Update lib/prototype.js to Prototype 1.4.0_rc3
- Support for various snapping options on Draggables, adresses #2826, [thx saimonmoore]
- Support horizontal ghostable Sortables, fixes #2794, [thx johnm]
- Correct IE detection in Autocompleter for Opera, fixes #2558 [thx gary]
- Add onDrag callback to Draggable observers, #2827 [thx saimonmoore]
- Added Form.Element.DelayedObserver to controls.js for live-search fields
- Remove Element.Class in favour of Prototype Element.ClassNames, new function Element.childrenWithClassName()
- Give currently active handle on slider the “selected” CSS class
- Add start and end spans to slider
- Make track clickable for sliders (moves last active handle [or first handle] to nearest possible position)
- Make initial values on slider work for single and multiple handle sliders

If you are using rico, be aware that this new version of script.aculo.us requires a version of prototype (1.4) that breaks the current rico release 1.1-beta2 which uses prototype 1.3.1
Incidentally, this version of prototype fixes an extremely annoying interaction between prototype and Deans’ IE7. Which is handy, considering that I just spent a week wondering what could be causing the error I was seeing and whether I should just give up on IE altogether..
