Link: Learn to Test Your SproutCore Apps in San Francisco
The Selenium Meetup group is hosting Michael Cohen, creator of the excellent Lebowski Testing tools, to discuss how you can use Selenium and Lebowski to automate testing of your SproutCore app.
The event is in San Francisco on Oct 21, so if you are in the area be sure to come by.
At long last, SproutCore finally has its own twitter account! Follow us at @sproutcore for frequent updates. Also, if you’re a SproutCore developer, let us know and we’ll add you to the @sproutcore/developers list so others can find you too.
SproutCore has now been updated to 1.4.2! This is a minor patch release with a handful of bug fixes to both the framework and to abbot.
In Abbot, we fixed a regression that caused sc_require to fail with uppercase filenames. We also fixed an issue that caused sc_static to load files that only partially matched the requested filename.
Additionally, we made a couple fixes to SC.DateTime and fixed Tab key behavior for SC.SelectFieldView.
To get these updates, just run gem install sproutcore.
Late last night we merged the quilmes branch back into master. The merge includes all changes from quilmes, along with the fixes from master. This means that we now only have two major branches: master, new home of the quilmes code, heading towards 1.5 and 1-4-stable for the 1.4 code.
1-4-stable is a bug fix only branch. Any new features should go into master. If you do have a bug fix for 1-4-stable, please check to see if it also applies to master and vice-versa.
Also, a reminder for those of you who missed it. The git repo has now moved to the sproutcore acccount at github.com/sproutcore. If you have not done so, please update the remote on any cloned repos you have as follows:
<code>git remote rm origin
git remote add origin git://github.com/sproutcore/sproutcore.git</code>
If you have SproutCore as a submodule, open your .gitmodules file and update the references there as well.
Hot on the heels of the 1.4 release, we’ve now released 1.4.1. This is a very minor bug fix release with one fix each to Abbot (the build tools) and the Framework. In Abbot, we fixed an issue with string escaping in a call to the YUI Compressor in sc-build. In the Framework, we changed SC.Request’s X-SproutCore-Version header to report 1.4 instead of 1.0.
To get the update, just run gem install sproutcore.
