09688ec5ffb8b9cf9883a770e2f9ebd60b28888dTrippThe YUI Global
09688ec5ffb8b9cf9883a770e2f9ebd60b28888dTripp Provides core YUI functionality, including module registration and consumption utils,
09688ec5ffb8b9cf9883a770e2f9ebd60b28888dTripp language/array/object utilities, browser detection, a setTimout/setInterval wrapper,
09688ec5ffb8b9cf9883a770e2f9ebd60b28888dTripp and dynamic loading of script and css files.
09688ec5ffb8b9cf9883a770e2f9ebd60b28888dTripp The yui module is a rollup yui-base (the core module registration/sandbox system and utilities),
9eaaa502227248d304ac9170902697d02158c1d9Tripp and the following optional submodules:
09688ec5ffb8b9cf9883a770e2f9ebd60b28888dTripp get (for dynamic script loading)
09688ec5ffb8b9cf9883a770e2f9ebd60b28888dTripp yui-log (out of the box console log support)
09688ec5ffb8b9cf9883a770e2f9ebd60b28888dTripp yui-later (timer abstraction)
09688ec5ffb8b9cf9883a770e2f9ebd60b28888dTripp throttle (performance utilitity)
09688ec5ffb8b9cf9883a770e2f9ebd60b28888dTripp yui-base contains
09688ec5ffb8b9cf9883a770e2f9ebd60b28888dTripp Module registration system
09688ec5ffb8b9cf9883a770e2f9ebd60b28888dTripp* YUI will attempt to fetch newly discovered dependencies after a module is dynamically loaded.
09688ec5ffb8b9cf9883a770e2f9ebd60b28888dTripp* The document element (HTML) is now stamped with a class name (yui-js-enabled) indicating that JS is enabled allowing for the creation of JS-aware CSS style rules for Progressive Enhancement.
09688ec5ffb8b9cf9883a770e2f9ebd60b28888dTripp* Added the ability to define a global configuration object (YUI_config).
09688ec5ffb8b9cf9883a770e2f9ebd60b28888dTripp* UA refinements for Chrome, Android and other browsers/platforms
09688ec5ffb8b9cf9883a770e2f9ebd60b28888dTripp* Inserted script nodes get charset="utf-8" by default.
09688ec5ffb8b9cf9883a770e2f9ebd60b28888dTripp* Added last() to Queue for LIFO support.
09688ec5ffb8b9cf9883a770e2f9ebd60b28888dTripp* Added thottle utility to buffer expensive functions that are called frequently.
09688ec5ffb8b9cf9883a770e2f9ebd60b28888dTripp* The callback to YUI.add gets the module name as the second parameter for
09688ec5ffb8b9cf9883a770e2f9ebd60b28888dTripp generic processing of similar modules.
09688ec5ffb8b9cf9883a770e2f9ebd60b28888dTripp* Added intl-base submodule to process the decision tree for selecting language
09688ec5ffb8b9cf9883a770e2f9ebd60b28888dTripp packs when dynamically loading internationalized modules.
09688ec5ffb8b9cf9883a770e2f9ebd60b28888dTripp* Y.guid generates identifiers that are safe to use as html attributes.
09688ec5ffb8b9cf9883a770e2f9ebd60b28888dTripp* Improved persistent messaging for missing modules/functionality.
09688ec5ffb8b9cf9883a770e2f9ebd60b28888dTripp* Bootstrapping improved to prevent simultaneous loading of resources when multiple instances are launched at the same moment.
09688ec5ffb8b9cf9883a770e2f9ebd60b28888dTripp* The YUI script source URL is read in order to try to dynamically determine the base path for loading resources on demand.
09688ec5ffb8b9cf9883a770e2f9ebd60b28888dTripp* The path to the loader and the version of the file to bootstrap is determined by the YUI script source.
09688ec5ffb8b9cf9883a770e2f9ebd60b28888dTripp* The core loads without errors in non-browser environments.
09688ec5ffb8b9cf9883a770e2f9ebd60b28888dTripp* Extracted the loader from the seed file. Instead, if loader not included, 'get' is included,
09688ec5ffb8b9cf9883a770e2f9ebd60b28888dTripp and dependencies are missing, the loader will be fetched before continuing.
09688ec5ffb8b9cf9883a770e2f9ebd60b28888dTripp* User agent detection is more granular. e.g., FireFox 3.5 reports gecko 1.91 rather than 1.9.
09688ec5ffb8b9cf9883a770e2f9ebd60b28888dTripp* Added additional mobile device detection.
09688ec5ffb8b9cf9883a770e2f9ebd60b28888dTripp* Get utility attribute cleanup before purging nodes.
09688ec5ffb8b9cf9883a770e2f9ebd60b28888dTripp* cached accepts a parameter to refresh a cached value.
09688ec5ffb8b9cf9883a770e2f9ebd60b28888dTripp* yui-log and yui-later are now optional modules that are included with yui.js.
09688ec5ffb8b9cf9883a770e2f9ebd60b28888dTripp* queue-base is no longer a submodule of queue -- it is part of yui-base.
09688ec5ffb8b9cf9883a770e2f9ebd60b28888dTripp* All YUI submodules end up in the yui build directory.
09688ec5ffb8b9cf9883a770e2f9ebd60b28888dTripp* Dynamic loading can be disabled by setting the 'bootstrap' config to false.
