Container Release Notes
*** version 2.2.2 ***
+ Clicking the close button of a Panel (or any instance of a Panel subclass)
registered with an OverlayManager will no longer result in the Panel
receiving focus.
+ Overlay instances registered with an OverlayManager will now correctly
blur themselves when hidden.
+ Calling the "destroy" method of an Overlay instance will now result in it
being removed from its OverlayManager instance(s).
+ The DOM event listener for the event defined by the "focusevent"
configuration property of an OverlayManager instance is now removed from each
Overlay instance when it is removed from its OverlayManager.
+ All subscribers for an Overlay instance's "focus" and "blur" events are
now unsubscribed when it is removed from its OverlayManager.
*** version 2.2.1 ***
+ Made the default scope for all Custom Events published by Module, Overlay,
Panel, Tooltip, Dialog and SimpleDialog the widget instance. Previously the
default scope for Custom Events was inconsistent across classes; the default
scope for Custom Events published by Overlay was always the Overlay instance
whereas the Custom Events published by all of the other classes had no
default scope.
+ Added default scope for CustomEvents published by YAHOO.util.Config:
- Default scope for the "configChangedEvent" is now the Config instance.
- Default scope for Config property events is now the Config's owner (widget).
+ Panel and Tooltip now always convert the value of a DOM element's "tagName"
property to uppercase before evaluating it. This improves
XHTML compatibility.
+ Pressing the enter key while focused on a form field inside a Dialog will
now trigger the "click" event handler defined by the Dialog's default
button in IE and Firefox. Previously, this behavior only worked in Safari
and Opera.
+ Added a "yui" prefix to the default CSS class name for Module to be
consistent with the other Container family widgets.
+ Container/Panel's underlay shadow is now defined as partially-transparent
black rather than gray. This prevents the shadow from lightening the
background color of elements beneath it.
+ Fixed memory leaks in Panel and Dialog.
+ The Drag and Drop library is now a truly optional dependency for Panel and its
subclasses.
+ Panel "focus" and "blur" events are now fired when Panels are focused and
blurred via the "focus" and "blurAll" methods of YAHOO.widget.OverlayManager.
+ Panel instances rendered without setting the value for the "width"
configuration property will now have their "width" configuration
property set to the value of the Panel's element's "offsetWidth" property
when rendered. This fixes an issue in IE 6 and 7 where Panels that are
rendered without setting the "width" configuration property will only be
draggable by mousing down on the text inside the header, rather than anywhere
inside the header.
+ Refactored the Container family including the Config class to improve
performance, especially when working with a large number of instances in IE6.
