Prototype 1.6.0.2 just released
As announced on the Prototype blog, version 1.6.0.2 just released. Like all 4-digit releases, it’s about performance improvements and bug fixes. Specifically, it is backwards-compatible with 1.6.0.
It does feature a security update revolving around JS environments with no Same Origin Policy (SOP), such as Dashboard Widgets or Opera Widgets; you can read all about it on the library’s blog. The fix was backported in the 1.5.1 branch to produce 1.5.1.2, for those who cannot yet migrate to the better shores of 1.6-ness.
An item of note though: along the way, we finally added Opera to our officially supported browsers, starting with version 9.25.

You made an Opera user happy !
Ah ah
Yes, Opera has been on our To-Do list for quite a while. It wasn’t as piece-of-cake as you might think, though.
Opera has a few issues with its JavaScript engine so far, and we stumbled on a few rendering issues with dynamic changes on the styles, too. But we’re trying hard!
As per the changelog, you can see there are a few people to thank for that, mostly Tobie and Andrew (as always…).
