MooTools Compatibility
We're releasing a new version of Accordion today with the latest version of MooTools v1.11. We've been updating all of our plugins to the most recent MooTools as quickly as possible since different versions of MooTools are not necessarily compatible with each other. So to ensure that everything can work on one Blocks page we're updating all the plugins.

Synchronous Mooing
With this update we've completed the migration to v1.11 and all of the YourHead plugins are now using the current release of MooTools. What's more, we've been working with LogHound to make sure we're all on the same schedule. Within the week his plugins should also be using v1.11 as well -- if it hasn't happened already. There are still probably a few themes and snippets out there using earlier versions of MooTools, or even Moo.fx, the predecessor, but hopefully there are fewer and fewer.

Compatible Future
Mootools v1.2 is in beta now and the developers indicated that they're nearing completion. Personally I was very concerned that we were in for another few months of painful version problems but it looks like the Mootools guys have had some mercy on us this time around. They now have a 1.11 compatibility mode for Mootools v1.2. This means that those folks that do update to 1.2 for its new features should be able to maintain compatibility with the previous version so long as they use the compatibility feature. With a little luck I think we're in for much smoother sailing in the new year.

Accordion Update
The primary reason for this update is to integrate the new Mootools. This version does not add any new features but does correct a couple niggles that have been around for a very long time in Accordion.

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 disk image.
  4. Double click on the 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.

How do I get it?
The most recent versions are always available (with release dates and build numbers) on our Downloads page. Or you can just click right here: Accordion v1.3
