things done in version 2.2.4

things done in version 2.2.4

We replaced the compression logic of orkinos (sardalya's js compressor engine) with Dean Edwards' packer. This resulted in a better compression ratio (almost twice better), in the compressed version of sardalya.

Dean generously provides a **C#** version of packer. Thank you Dean for sharing your library with the rest of the world.

So what's done in this version:
  1. Added new Shorthand notations.
  2. Plus some javascript optimization.
  3. Added a DOMManager.quickLoad method which triggers a passed delegate as soon as DOM content is ready. This is much faster than traditional window.onlaod approach, if you have images and external object in the page.
  4. New methods for custom DOM-node creation have been added.
  5. We have a new Try object which is used to execute a group of function even if an error occurs during execution.
  6. EventRegistry now has a finalize method and a remove method.
  7. We have a brand new MessagePane object.
  8. We have optimized the AJAX stub XHRequest further.
  9. Used a new compression algorithm which resulted in nearly 60% code reduction in the production release.
  10. Updated the bug repository.
  11. Updated the wiki.
