[sam] * Fix Content-Type header for HTTP methods simulated with POST not defaulting to application/x-www-form-urlencoded. [Thomas Fuchs] * Simplify form serialization and add support for fields with the same name as Hash methods. Closes #6649. [Mislav Marohnić] * Fix attribute selectors for IE. Closes #5170. [Tobie Langel, Andrew Dupont] * A slew of dom.js improvements. Closes #4217, #6589, #7001. [Tobie] - Fix Element.getDimensions() for hidden elements, make Element.getHeight() use .getDimensions() - Add Element.getWidth() - Make Element.replace() call .toString() on the html argument (alike .update()) - Fix an issue with Element.get/setStyle() and Safari with 'float' - Add a bunch of missing unit tests * Fix an issue with Element.setStyle({opacity:''}) setting the opacity to 0 instead of removing the set inline opacity style. [Thomas Fuchs] * Ensure Ajax.Request's evalResponse is called before onComplete so that onComplete can reference any elements created during the response. Closes #6727. [jonathan] * Ensure the WEBrick test runner sets the correct Content-Type for tests and fixtures. [sam] * Form.serialize once again works with non-form elements. This is a temporary change to prevent the Rails link_to_remote regression described in #6898. Prototype 1.5.1 will introduce an API for working with collections of arbitrary form elements. References #6887. Closes #6898. [sam] * Make selectors match forms that have an element with name="id" correctly, fixes #5759 [mislav] * Remove support for HTTP authorization in Ajax calls introduced with #6366.

Closes #5115. [Sean Kleinjung, sam] * Add Element.Methods.readAttribute as a simple wrapper around getAttribute (which isn't a "real" function and doesn't have .apply or .call in Safari and IE). Useful in conjunction with Enumerable.invoke for extracting the values of a custom attribute from a collection of elements. [sam] Example:
...
...
...
$$('div.widget').invoke('readAttribute', 'widget_id') // ["7", "8", "9"] * Add Element.Methods.immediateDescendants, like $A($(element).childNodes) but without text nodes. [sam] * More consistency.

Additionally, you can specify individual tests to run with the TESTS environment variable, and you can restrict the tests to particular browsers using the BROWSERS environment variable. [sam] Examples: % BROWSERS=safari,firefox rake test % TESTS=dom rake test * Element.hasClassName now bypasses the Element.ClassNames API for performance. [sam] * Pick some low-hanging performance and DRYness fruit. [sam] - Inline length property accesses in for loops - Enumerable-ize for loops where it makes sense - Make better use of Element.Methods and Form.Methods/Form.Element.Methods * A slew of Ajax improvements. Closes #6366. [mislav, sam] Public-facing changes include: - HTTP method can be specified in either lowercase or uppercase, and uppercase is always used when opening the XHR connection - Added 'encoding' option (for POST) with a default of 'UTF-8' - Ajax.Request now recognizes all the JavaScript MIME types we're aware of - PUT body support with the 'postBody' option - HTTP authentication support with the 'username' and 'password' options - Query parameters can be passed as a string or as a hash - Fixed both String.toQueryParams and Hash.toQueryString when handling empty values - Request headers can now be specified as a hash with the 'requestHeaders' option * Improve performance of the common case where $ is called with a single argument.
