Only 2 weeks late, which by software development standards is ‘dead on’, mootools 1.2.4 and 1.1.2 are officially released.

Amongst the more-exciting changes for me (aside from the the many fixes and additions to -more), JSON.stringify and JSON.parse native methods and DomReady always firing before load event (this had been plaguing me for a while on IE).

And, last but not least, a Depender class for lazy-loading of required components that can get your class working. Brilliant – on-demand javascript. All-in-all, a very nice and worthwhile drop-in replacement and enhancement over the old 1.2s.

Just a word of mention, 1.1.2 is a fix in the mootools 1.11 branch that will enable IE8 and gecko (firefox) detection. Not bad…
