Prototype 1.6.1 released

  • Full compatibility with new browsers. This version of Prototype fully supports versions 1.0 and higher of Google Chrome, and Internet Explorer 8 in both compatibility mode and super-standards mode.

  • Element metadata storage. Easily associate JavaScript key/value pairs with a DOM element. See the blog post that started it off.

  • New mouse events. Internet Explorer’s proprietary “mouseenter” and “mouseleave” events are now available in all browsers.

  • Improved performance and housekeeping. The frequently used Function#bind, String#escapeHTML, and Element#down methods are faster, and Prototype is better at cleaning up after itself.

  • Built with Sprockets. You can now include the Prototype source code repository in your application and use Sprockets for dependency management and distribution.

  • Inline documentation with PDoc. Our API documentation is now stored in the source code with PDoc so it’s easy to send patches or view documentation for a specific version.
