Quick follow up to Peppy release.

Well, the response to the initial beta release of Peppy has been wonderful. I want to thank everyone for taking the time to give your thoughts, comments and suggestions! Today, I just wanted to quickly highlight some of my short term plans for Peppy.

1. I am planning a maintenance release of Peppy probably tomorrow or Sunday. This will address the two main issues that came out from the post on Ajaxian.

  • Disable caching in IE
  • Fix 9 issues in Safari, 3 issues in Opera

2. I will set up source control and a bug tracking system sometime in the near future.

3. I will add documentation and give Peppy a proper home page. The documentation will provide usage samples such as how to use this with other libraries, etc.

Also, Peppy is release under the FreeBSD license (http://www.freebsd.org/copyright/freebsd-license.html)

Thanks again for all the great feed back. Keep checking back for more updates.

    Thanks for your work. Really appreciated. Just a hint: When you cache the strings you use in the selector internals (string compares) in a more global type of map/array the loops will be a lot faster in IE. We have done this with a python based processing automatically in qooxdoo and it works wonders.

    Hi there James,

    I was cooking up my own little engine (with far from copmlete CSS3 support), but after seeing Peppy and Sizzle I see I’m miles behind :D

    If you need any help with setting up Peppy’s site (css/xhtml/design) I’d be really glad to help!

    @Sebastian Werner: Thanks for stopping by to check out Peppy. Also, thanks for the great tip - I am anxious to give this a try!

    @Ricardo: Thank you so much for this offer! I would love some help on Peppy’s website (obviously it is in need of some attention :) )

    @James,

    I noticed you read and commented at my blog. Thanks.

    Looking at your source code, it looks like you had a similar problem (finding uniques) to what I had.

    Any possibility of adding Adobe’s Spry Framework to the speed test? I’d be interested to see how it matches up to the others.
