* String.prototype.truncate now explicitly converts its return value into a string if no truncation takes place. This prevents possible issues with methods expecting input data that is typeof == 'string'.  [Thomas Fuchs, Tobie Langel, Sam Stephenson]

* Event.findElement behaves as expected when the element passed matches the given selector.  Closes #8395.  [Mislav Marohnić, Tobie Langel]

* Element.setOpacity now calls removeAttribute on the filter style on IE if no more filters remain, which makes Cleartype work properly.  Closes #8376.  [alexdemi, Thomas Fuchs]

* Event.findElement now uses Element#up (and as a result can take a CSS selector instead of just a tag name).  [Tobie Langel]

* Minor cleanup of the position methods  [sam]

* Fix Element#clonePosition to call viewportOffset.  Closes #8372.  [graemenelson, Christophe Porteneuve]

* Add Element#wrap which wraps the element inside a new one. Closes #5732. [P. Vande, Tobie Langel]

* Make Element into a constructor: new Element(tagName, attributes). Add Element#writeAttribute which accepts a hash of attributes or a name/value pair. Closes #7476. [Mislav Marohnić, haraldmartin, Tobie Langel]

* Insertion overhaul: Add Element.insert(content[, position = 'bottom']). Deprecate Insertion (kept for backwards compatibility). Make Ajax.Updater option.insertion accept both Insertion.Top or the now preferred 'top'. Closes #7907. [Tobie Langel]

* Refactor Element.extend and eliminate Element.extend.cache.  [sam]

* Add Function#curry, Function#delay, Function#defer, and Function#wrap.  Closes #8134.  [Andrew Dupont, Tobie Langel, sam]

*1.5.1* (May 1, 2007)

* Don't duplicate the event argument in Function#bindAsEventListener.  Closes #6497.  [wiktor]

* Fix jstest.rb Konqueror support.  Closes #7140.  [Christophe Porteneuve]

* Don't call evalResponse() when an Ajax response has no Content-type header.  Closes #7827.  [Tobie Langel]

* Automatically strip security delimiter comments from JSON strings before evaling them.  The default delimiter is '/*-secure- ... */' or you can specify your own with the Prototype.JSONFilter regular expression.  If you wrap your JSON response bodies in this delimiter on the server side, rogue external sites can't hijack potentially sensitive data via <script> tags.  Closes #7910.  [Tobie Langel]
  For more details on potential security problems, see: http://www.fortifysoftware.com/servlet/downloads/public/JavaScript_Hijacking.pdf

* Make Hash.toQueryString serialize undefined values. Ensure consistency with String.prototype.toQueryParams.  Closes #7806.  [Mislav Marohnić]
  Examples:
    $H({a:'b',c:undefined}).toQueryString()      -> 'a=b&c'
    $H({a:'b',c:null}).toQueryString()           -> 'a=b&c='
    $H('a=b&c'.toQueryParams()).toQueryString()  -> 'a=b&c'
    $H('a=b&c='.toQueryParams()).toQueryString() -> 'a=b&c='
    
* Fix issues with Selector an+b logic, :not support, attribute selector double quotes, plus performance improvements.  Closes #7873, #7901.  [Andrew Dupont]

  Selector speed test: http://andrewdupont.net/test/double-dollar/

* Fix double escaping of query parameters in Hash.prototype.toQueryString, and prevent Safari from iterating over shadowed properties when creating hashes.  Closes #7421.  [Tobie Langel, Mislav Marohnić]

* Fix simulated attribute reading for IE for "href", "src" and boolean attributes.  [Mislav Marohnić, Thomas Fuchs]

* Form.Element.disable() will now call blur(), removed blur() call from Form.Element.enable().  Closes #6034.  [tdd]

* Array.prototype.uniq optimization.  Closes #7417.  [Christophe Porteneuve]

* String.prototype.endsWith should not fail on multiple occurrences.  Closes #7416.  [Christophe Porteneuve]

* Add Form.Methods.request as a convenience method for serializing and submitting a form via Ajax.Request to the URL in the form's action attribute.  [sam]

  Options passed to request() are intelligently merged with the underlying Ajax.Request options:
  - If the form has a method attribute, its value is used for the Ajax.Request method option.  If a method option is passed to request(), it takes precedence over the form's method attribute.  If neither is specified, method defaults to "post".
  - Key/value pairs specified in the parameters option (either as a query string or as a hash) will be merged with (and take precedence over) the serialized form parameters.

* Fix $(form).serialize() in Safari and add support for extending specific tags to Element.addMethods.  Closes #7358.  [Andrew Dupont]

* Add String.prototype.startsWith, String.prototype.endsWith, and String.prototype.include.  Closes #7075.  [Tobie Langel]

* Make setStyle() with opacity: 0 in Internet Explorer work correctly.  [Thomas Fuchs]

* Form.Element.activate shouldn't raise an exception when the form or field is hidden.  [sam]

* 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]

    'abcd'.succ();                                   -> 'abce'
    $R('a','d').map(function(char){ return char; }); -> ['a','b','c','d']

* Fix handling of CSS 'float' property for Element.getStyle() and Element.setStyle(), fixes #4160 [Thomas Fuchs, ericf]

* Fix that onComplete would be called twice with synchronous Ajax requests on Safari (provides units tests for #5756) [Thomas Fuchs]

* 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 id="widgets">
      <div class="widget" widget_id="7">...</div>
      <div class="widget" widget_id="8">...</div>
      <div class="widget" widget_id="9">...</div>

* Make makeClipping and undoClipping always return their element to stay chainable

* Fix an issue with certain Element chain calls not correctly extending elements with Prototype element methods on IE [Thomas Fuchs]

* Add Enumerable.eachSlice and Enumerable.inGroupsOf, fixes #6046 [rails@tddsworld.com, Thomas Fuchs]

  Example:
    [1,2,3,4,5].inGroupsOf(3)       -> [[1,2,3],[4,5,null]]

  !! BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY CHANGE !!

  Example:
    $$('form#foo input[type=text]').each(function(input) {
      input.setStyle({color: 'red'});
    });
  
* Send Accept header containing 'text/javascript, text/html, application/xml, text/xml */*'' to inform Rails that we prefer RJS, but we'll take HTML or XML or whatever if you can't deliver the goods [DHH]

* Make $$ work in IE. Closes #3715. [rubyonrails@brainsick.com]

* Add test/browser.html, which provides a simple object browser for the Prototype source (Firefox/Safari only). [sam]

* Add Element.extend, which mixes Element methods into a single HTML element.  This means you can now write $('foo').show() instead of Element.show('foo').  $, $$ and document.getElementsByClassName automatically call Element.extend on any returned elements. [sam]

* Add Element.replace as a cross-browser implementation of the "outerHTML" property. References #3246. [tom@craz8.com]

* Fix Enumerable.zip iterator behavior. [Marcin Kaszynski, sam]

*1.5.0_pre0* (January 18, 2006)

* Add String.prototype.truncate to complement the Action View truncate helper. [sam]

* Add String.prototype.gsub, String.prototype.sub, and String.prototype.scan, all of which take a pattern and an iterator (or a pattern and a replacement template string in the case of gsub and sub). [sam]

* Add a Template class for interpolating named keys from an object in a string. [sam]

* Add the $$ function for finding DOM elements by simple CSS selector strings. [sam]
  Example: Find all <img> elements inside <p> elements with class "summary", all inside
           the <div> with id "page". Hide each matched <img> tag.
             $$('div#page p.summary img').each(Element.hide)
     
* Add a Selector class for matching elements by single CSS selector tokens. [sam]

* Add Test.Unit.Assertions.assertEnumEqual for comparing Enumerables in tests. [sam]

* Add Element.childOf(element, ancestor) which returns true when element is a child of ancestor. [sam]

* Fix escaping in String.prototype.inspect. [sam]

* Add String.prototype.strip to remove leading and trailing whitespace from a string. [sam]

* Move Prototype to Rails SVN. [sam]
  http://dev.rubyonrails.org/svn/rails/spinoffs/prototype/
  
* Make the console nicer. [sam]

* Prune the source tree. [sam]
