Dojo 1.2 Released - The Sliced Bread Release With Over 1100 Issues Addressed

A lot has been going on in Dojo-land, and we're finally ready to push out the release. I have tentatively named this the 'Sliced Bread' release, as over the last six months each new item has truly felt like "the best thing since sliced bread". This iteration of the Dojo Toolkit has a very large delta, countless levels of innovation, cleverness, polish, and usefulness, as well as several internal changes regarding the overall project.

There are just to many improvements, new features and bug fixes, with over 1100 issues addressed, to make a single announcement, or highlight specifics, therefore I would rather direct you to the Dojo 1.2 Release Notes.

One thing to note is:

It is also worth noting the changes in the downloads: The "official" release now ships without any non-required files. Adopting the dojo-mini build script as the default download, the Dojo Toolkit now ships by default as an ultra-light / test-free / single 1.8 megabye archive. This includes the full Dojo, Dijit and DojoX project namespaces. For those doing advanced things, the -src archive (~20 megs) still contains the full uncompressed suite of utilities and code, including DOH, ShrinkSafe, Build System, tests, and example code.
