Announcing Dojo 1.0 November 5th, 2007 at 4:50 am by Dylan Schiemann
Last night, we helped put the finishing touches on Dojo 1.0. 3 1/2 years in the making, we’re extremely pleased to reach this great milestone. The Dojo community has done an amazing job this year, completely rewriting everything with a focus on performance, speed, ease of development, and amazing user experience.
Recent advancements in Dojo include:
- Accessibility including keyboard navigation, low vision support, and ARIA markup for assistive technologies
- High performance grid widget supporting 100,000+ rows of data
- Browser-native 2-D and 3-D charting
- A full library of easy-to-use, attractive UI controls
- Universal data access for simple and fast data-driven widget development
- Internationalization with localizations provided for 13 major languages
- CSS-driven themes to make customization and extension simple
- Dojo Offline, based on Google Gears, which makes offline applications easy to build
- Support for the OpenAjax Alliance Hub 1.0 to guarantee interoperability with other toolkits
- Native 2-D and 3-D vector graphics drawing
- Access to many more widgets and extensions through the Dojo package system

[…] This morning at 3am Alex tagged the Dojo 1.0 release. This is the culmination of 3+ years of effort for the Dojo Foundation members, the contributors and the general Dojo user base who have helped the Toolkit become what I would consider the premier JavaScript toolkit for soup-to-nuts development. I say soup-to-nuts, because although there are other toolkits that might be smaller, or “easier” to add widgets, or have closer ties to the backend, there is no toolkit that competes at every stage of the development process as consistently as Dojo can.

Great news! Downloads are in order… then some hacking and testing. More than happy to see this release today after randomly visiting the site!
Here is to 2-point-oh! (groan!)

Great job, guys, and great timing. We already had been planning to port from 0.4.3 to 1.0 this week.

[…] Now I have yet another layer of digging to do before never coming to a decision of which JavaScript lib/toolkit to use. Dojo 1.0’s official release is from the look of things pretty dang tempting. http://www.sitepen.com/blog/2007/11/05/announcing-dojo-10/ […]

[…] Chris Mitchell of IBM had a few days of free time prior to the Dojo 1.0 release, and so he added Canvas support for dojox.gfx. While Canvas does not offer all of the DOM goodness of of SVG, it does have one key features: it works today on the iPhone. While we expect the iPhone’s version of Safari to be updated to support SVG for vector graphics and charting very soon, it allows us to draw and chart natively on the iPhone now: […]

Congratulations Dylan and team. The world doesn’t need another fisheye widget, it needs a serious Ajax contender to Silverlight and Flex! I wrote more about Dojo 1.0 as a sign that Ajax is becoming enterprise-ready here:

Awesome work - it’s already in the Aptana IDE and with the powerful grid component a lot of people will jump for joy.

[…] We’re excited about the release of Dojo 1.0. In honor of the new release, I’m starting a series on one of the newest additions to the Dojo mix: the Dojo Grid. […]

[…] As you may have seen other places, Dojo 1.0 was released yesterday. Most reports on IRC and on the forums indicate that the transition for 0.9-based apps has been smooth sailing. I anticipate we’ll be following up with 1.0.1 very shortly as we tamp down the issues that inevitably come up with such a large release, but so far so good. […]
