   This looks like a very good release. The XPath parser looks awesome.

   Two things:

   1. Must you overwrite Array.prototype.concat?
   2. You site is very slow to load these days. 200K of script isn’t helping. ;-)

   There seems to be something weird about the title: this article is on 1.5.1_rc1, right? But it’s titled 1.5.0_rc1.

   It’s nice to see that there’s finally a centralized browser detection variable. That way there won’t be /Konqueror|Safari|KHTML/.test(navigator.userAgent) running all over the place.

   Way to go for the native JSON support! Although it might be safer for .toJSON(true) to be the default setting.

   I have to say this has nothing to do with 1.5.1_rc1, but I really really really want to see Event methods actually being extended on event objects that are passed to event handler functions. It’s painfully silly to do Event.stop(event).

   @Dean: Are you sure we overwrite Array.prototype.concat? I define Selector.handlers.concat for fast joining of DOM collections, but I don’t think we touch native array concatenation.

   And, yeah, I need to trim all the Scriptaculous stuff I don’t use on this site. Thanks for the prod.

   @Kourge: Yeah, I fucked up on the title of the post. And the events stuff you’re asking for is being worked on — there’s an “events” branch in trunk that holds the in-progress code.

   My mistake. You overwrite Array.prototype.concat for Opera only. You do overwrite map though. Ignore my nitpickings, like I said this looks like a great release,

   Yup, found the event spinoff at Rails Trac. Awwwwwesome.
