It's been awhile since I've written, but I'm pleased to announce that a lot of work has been going on to release Dojomino 1.2 which maps to the recent Dojo 1.2 release. Our target release date is Nov 1, so it's right around the corner. In the interim, we'll put up a dojo12.nsf database that contains all the dojo code for 1.2. On the weekend of Oct 18th, we'll put up a release candidate for Dojomino 1.2, and then push right on to the Nov 1 release.

What's going to be new for Dojomino 1.2? The most important update is a redesign of the View widget. With Dojo 1.2, there is a refactored dojox.grid.DataGrid widget that does away with the sructure/model/store paradigm and simplifies it to structure/store. Along with some refactoring of dojo.data.QueryReadStore, this opens the door to much simpler code. Our plans are to leave NotesView as a deprecated 1.0 widget, and to move on to NotesView2 which has the dojo 1.2 Grid at its heart. However, rather than just extending dojox.grid.DataGrid, we've taken a different approach, and are instead extending dijit.layout.BorderContainer. With the BorderContainer, we can define regions for the top, center, and bottom of the widget. In the top region, we'll put the Action Bar and Search Bar for the view. In the center, a modified 1.2 grid, and in the bottom region is a status bar.

NotesView2 provides the following features:

  • Categorization support
  • Action Bar support
  • Type ahead
  • scrolling
  • Search
As we build to this release, I'll blog about each of the widgets in the new release.

Gravatar Image1 - Nov 1 has come and gone but no Dojomino 1.2. That makes me sad! Any updates on when you might release it?
