With the announcement today of another four weeks before Drupal 6 freeze, we have another chance to get some critically needed Javascript patches into Drupal core.
Very few Javascript patches go through, mostly for lack of in-depth reviews. Please, everyone on this list, take your turn in reviewing Javascript patches! Better yet, wade in and help make improvements to the patches.
Here's a link to Javascript issues needing review:
http://drupal.org/project/issues/drupal?components=javascript&states=8%2...
A few highlights:
- jQuery 1.1.x update, http://drupal.org/node/146462. We don't want to ship D6 with an outdated jQuery version.
- Enable AJAX by making all behaviours reattachable, http://drupal.org/node/120360. Right now much content (e.g. collapsible fieldsets) breaks when appended to a page via AJAX. This patch fixes the issue.
- Javascript theming, http://drupal.org/node/133153.
- Javascript localization, http://drupal.org/node/118026. This has been needed from the start.
- Enable dynamic page loading, http://drupal.org/node/145551. This is an early version of a patch that would enable loading any page or any theme output via AJAX/AHAH. Want to see this in Drupal core? Please help improve the patch.
- Autocomplete improvements, http://drupal.org/node/125231. Konstantin put a lot of good work into this patch.
Go team!
