* Prevent a crash in Safari when using $A() on NodeList objects that contain text nodes. [Thomas Fuchs]
* Fix Element.Methods.descendants() to properly extend elements on IE. [Thomas Fuchs]
*1.5.1_rc1* (March 9, 2007)
* Fix readAttribute for IE7. [Andrew Dupont]
*1.5.1_rc0* (March 8, 2007)
* Merge the selector branch into trunk, bringing vast performance improvements, bug fixes, and near-complete CSS3 compliance to $$ and Selector. Closes #7568. [Andrew Dupont]
Selector speed test: http://andrewdupont.net/test/double-dollar/
* Add support for JSON encoding and decoding. Closes #7427. [Tobie Langel]
* 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]
* Optimize document.getElementsByClassName and finalize DOM performance optimization refactoring. Closes #6696. [Mislav Marohnić]
* Fix an issue with serializing empty array inputs. Closes #7516. [stakadush, Mislav Marohnić]
* Add optional third parameter "camelized" to Element.setStyle, for optimized performance if style names are known to be camelCased. [Thomas Fuchs]
* Fix a bug in the simulated hasAttribute for IE due to getAttributeNode sometimes returning null. [sam]
* Optimize Element.getStyle and add new Element.getOpacity method. Special case IE and Opera getStyle methods. Closes #7648. [Tobie Langel, Thomas Fuchs]
* Optimize Element.setStyle and add new Element.setOpacity method, special case IE and Gecko opacity methods. Closes #7585. [savetheclocktower]
* Add unified Browser detection by providing Prototype.Browser.(IE|Gecko|WebKit|Opera) booleans. Closes #6800. [savetheclocktower]

* Update README to reflect new URLs, update LICENSE copyright years. Closes #7426. [Tobie Langel]
* Array.prototype.uniq optimization. Closes #7417. [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 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]

* 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]

Example:
<div id="widgets">
<div class="widget" widget_id="7">...</div>
<div class="widget" widget_id="8">...</div>

* rake test now runs test/unit/*.html by default. 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

* Add clone() method to arrays, fixes #6338 [Tobie Langel]

Examples:
<div id="sidebar"> -> $('nav').up() or $('menu').up('div')
<ul id="nav"> -> $('sidebar').down() or $('sidebar').down('ul') or $('menu').previous()

* Make destructive Element, Form, and Form.Element methods return their first argument, so that multiple calls can be chained together. [sam]

The following methods now return their first argument: Element.toggle, Element.hide, Element.show, Element.remove, Element.update, Element.replace, Element.addClassName, Element.removeClassName, Element.observe, Element.stopObserving, Element.cleanWhitespace, Element.scrollTo, Element.setStyle, Element.makePositioned, Element.undoPositioned, Element.makeClipping, Element.undoClipping, Form.reset, Form.disable, Form.enable, Form.focusFirstElement, Form.Element.focus, Form.Element.select, Form.Element.clear, Form.Element.activate, Form.Element.disable, Form.Element.enable.
