Recently we announced that we were deprecating our use of YUI Compressor . Many people still rely on Compressor for their day to day work and are still using it in their build systems. In our ongoing effort to involve more community members we are...

A few months back, I hinted about the idea that I would do a public Hangout just to chat and socialize with the YUI community. Since then, I have received several requests to live up to my offer. This Friday (October 26th) at 1:00pm CST I will open...

In 3.4.0 we started the process of shifting some of Loader's logic around, to not only make it more performant, but to make it more robust and easier to use in other places (like on the server). We will be rolling out more changes in future...

Component owner updates and a discussion about the future of Loader In the wake of Adam Moore leaving the YUI team for "Startup"ier pastures, we recently did a big shuffle of components, assigning new owners to a number of core components including...
