Snippely!
March 15th, 2008, posted by Tom
With the initial release of Adobe AIR, a lot of web developers (myself included) are starting to get excited about developing rich web applications that run natively on the desktop across platforms. We've already seen several great AIR apps popping up all over the Internet, and thought we'd try our hand at creating one of our own.
Snippely was created by myself, Tom Occhino, and Valerio Proietti as our first attempt at creating a robust and useful AIR application.

Its been almost 2 months since the first 1.2 beta. Bugs were fixed, features were improved, and here it comes: the second beta.
The first big feature we've been working on for 1.2 is Documentation.
1.2 Documentation is in fact almost 5 times more detailed than it was in version 1. Every class option has now its description, every method has a complete list of arguments along with description, type, and now every functionality comes with a code example -- sometimes more than one. If you want to see it for yourself, here is the temporary link for the 1.2 beta documentation.
A lot of the new 1.2 features have now been refined. An example that I'd like to share with you now is the Element Accessors feature. This is completely new for 1.2, aimed at making it easier working with elements and their attributes, properties or "special attributes". Continue reading for 1.2 code examples.

The first beta for MooTools 1.2 is finally here!
After months in the making, we can confidently say that MooTools 1.2 is now feature complete. However, there are still some bugs left to squash.
Head over to MooTools download page to start playing with it right away.
A Note About Compatibility
Some parts of MooTools 1.2 aren't immediately compatible with those found in MooTools 1.1. In the downloads page, you'll find a box that says: "include compatibility with previous version". Clicking that box will add the missing pieces and will make MooTools 1.2 play nice with code written for MooTools 1.1.
New stuff that we already covered:
Important stuff thats not yet covered in a blog article:
Full IFrames support with the Native IFrame Class.
Swiff: Flash content injection Class. Include Flash files, the easy way!
A Little Help, Please!
We are currently looking for bug reports and incompatibilities with previous plugins. If you want to help out, open a ticket in the Trac, and we will make sure that the problem is fixed for the final release.
Read more for a (not so) brief "what's new" list.
(P.S. This list is not exhaustive, it's just the stuff we could remember.)
