We are Monkeys, I swear :)

11. Jun 2008

In our BETA release of Gaia Ajax Widgets we had several game-breakers in Gaia which made it not work on Mono. We are extremly sorry for this and hope you guys love us anyway :)


We are Monkeys! We promise!


However now it works. Though that is to say "90%". Some of our samples are not working, but this is due to our "client-code" and not due to Gaia. But the most interesting ones
Should work :)
Also the rest of the samples we'll make work before the release is out. So as you can see we're very serious about our "Monkey Titles", though we also still like to title us as Titans.

Also we have some other interesting news for the Release Candidate. First of all Gaia Ajax Widgets is now a 100% XHTML Compliant Ajax Framework. We take standards seriously and for the first time every single sample we have at our website now conforms according to the w3c validator.

BTW Marek, did you understand my bug-report about the ViewStateModeByID? Currently we're forced to having two compilations, one for Mono (which is "reduced" in functionality) and another one for Microserfs .Net Framework... ;)
To get this bug (missing feature) eliminated would be really great for us. :)

Hi, Is it necessary to submit the request to the mono dev team regarding to the ViewStateModeByID missing feature ?. Dropping support for ViewStateModeByID would affect the performance or accesability for us the gaia monkeys ? Even if the ViewStateModeByID feature is applied by the mono team, would take until september to get the latest stable mono release (2.0) with the new feature. By the way... Great to know there is a solution for some working examples, you guys rock!. I am downloading the latest beta release and I will give it a test ride. I will write back if I find something weird. Thanks in advance. Alfredo.

Hi Alfredo and thanx for the feedback. As I said it doesn't work with the latest "bleeding edge" version of Mono. But you don't HAVE to compile it in fact :) The prebuilt DLL will work just fine until we sort out the compilation bug (in the release ;)

Sorry to ask again, but what version of mono are you using thomas ? below 1.9.1 ?, I might downgrade to 1.2.6 and try again, though there are some bugs. Thanks. Alfredo.
