Changes: This is quite a comprehensive release, with many bugfixes and some useful new features. It is recommended as an upgrade for existing applications. A new interactive application called "Playground" was introduced. It allows for experimenting with qooxdoo application code. Basically, the code in a (syntax highlighting) JavaScript editor on the left can be executed as an application on the right. This works purely in the browser (and also offline) without the usual locally installed tools or any server-side components.
