Yep — “sexy” and “AMO” in the same sentence. Our festively plump 3.2 target milestone added many features and refreshes that you can read about in a great post on Basil’s Bodacious blog.
In the same time period we’ve also:
- Upgraded CakePHP’s core software from 1.18.x to 1.19.x
- Added support for weighted database slaves
- Migrated AMO to PHP5 off of the now end-of-life’d PHP4
- Replaced Scriptaculous/Prototype with jQuery
- Improved IE6/IE7 compatibility
- Improved accessibility features
And really, when it comes to sexy, the real magic starts with our volunteers. Our editors have worked hard to review new and updated add-ons as we move towards Firefox 3 this year and our localizers translated roughly 200 new strings in AMO templates in a little over three weeks for 24 locales (wow).
Thanks to everyone for pitching in to make this release happen.
