I hear alot of “This has been fixed in trunk”, so my question is – When was the version currently on the website released and how far ahead is the trunk compared to this release on the website. Plus how to work the trunk would be nice too—I’ve never used svn.

If you use windows, you can download something like TortoiseSVN.
Then it’s quite simple as
1. create diretory
2. import by right clicking and selecting from submenu
3. put svn address
:) All files will be downloaded to your designated folder.

Not sure how far ahead it is.

You can also download latest SVN version of window & prototype-ui.js by

http://www.prototype-ui.com/current/dist/window.js
and http://www.prototype-ui.com/current/dist/protot…

Thanks for reply. I got SVN working but how to i use the “rake dist” command

We use rake command to generate documentation, distrib files. Here is common rake tasks; rake dist Generates dist/prototype-ui.js with all components

This is what I need

Rake is a ruby tool, so you need to install ruby

By the way, yes trunk is really better than site download

haha yeah. I downloaded just the main JS file and it was DOUBLE (I believe nearly 3000 more lines of code) the size of the one on the site. I found it amazing..

I HAVE to make a new release and with thoses new components!!

Haha yeah. It would probably help out starting users alot if they’re like me and don’t usually check the SVN.

what about a (minor-)updated release once a month?

I think a BETA build every 2 weeks would be nice. That way we can opt to download the beta and if that goes 2 weeks with no errors it gets incorporated into the site download (In which will show Download Stable | Download Beta) and it all just creates a circular process that keeps everyone up to date and in turn gets the trunk tested more.

scuse my ignorance …. but whats the difference between window.js & prototype-ui.js?

window.js is just the stuff needed for window
prototype-ui.js is everything (ui elements, carousel, menus, ...)
