- Firefox 3.6 is out. Here's a nice summary of what's new.
- Firebug 1.5 is out. It's especially nice that the team is managing to keep current with Firefox, as they have sometimes lagged a bit.
- ECMAScript 5 is official. It's a giant spec, but here's a nifty summary of what's been going on. And here's some nice status from the TrollTech guys about the implementation situation in WebKit (one of the major JavaScript engines)
- JQuery 1.4 is out. The JQuery team just continue to impress!
- And lastly, just to blow your mind, here's what claims to be a complete implementation of the Flash runtime written in pure JavaScript.
Meanwhile, although it's not really web-related, the proceedings are now online for last fall's LLVM/Clang developer's meeting. LLVM is now used for lots of things, with ActionScript/JavaScript being just one of many worlds that are involved with LLVM. Think you are doing some serious parallelism? Check out this release from a team that has used the LLVM architecture to build a program that runs on 120,000 processor cores! (Actually, according to these notes, they are now 50% higher, passing 180,000 processor cores!!!)
