Carousel 1.2

Show Time!
We've been releasing betas of Carousel for about a month, now. Carousel has some fairly complex Javascripts and adding the new version of MooTools created more than a few bugs. But we've managed to squash them all and improve how we work with some of the Javascript heavy themes too. Now it's show time and Carousel is ready for everyone, not just the adventurous beta testers.

What's New
If you've been following along with the betas, then this version will only have one difference -- the version number. But if you're updating from Carousel 1.1, then you'll have a few nice new features and some important bug fixes.
  • The latest and greatest version of the MooTools Javascript base library. This means better compatibility with other things that use MooTools.
  • Improved image AJAX. Now Carousel will only download the first few images. This improves load times and makes the page work more smoothly.

What's Fixed
  • We now work well with PlusKit, Kwix, PayLoom, and Accordion -- which all now use the latest MooTools as well.
  • Add Link and Remove Link buttons no longer get out-of-sync with selection.
  • The Media Inspector no longer gets out of sync with the selection.
  • Improved interoperability with themes that rely on moo.fx (the library that came before MooTools). Such as Elixir's Dark and Light and the RapidWeaver Business themes.

How much?
Like most updates from YourHead Software this update is free.

How do I install it?
The easiest way to install it is to:
  1. Open RapidWeaver
  2. Close any open documents.
  3. Download the Carousel disk image here.
  4. Double click on the Carousel plugin in the disk image window.
  5. Quit and restart RapidWeaver
You'll need to republish pages before the new content (like the new javascripts) gets to your server, but otherwise there should be no changes required.
