This is an early alpha release that includes and demonstrates many of the exciting feature improvements and additions of the upcoming qooxdoo 0.8.

Being a first alpha release it is neither regarded feature-complete nor API-final. One goal of this release is to provide a useful code base for first attempts at experimenting with qooxdoo 0.8 features, e.g. during the power workshops at the upcoming conferences. It is not meant for production use.

Nevertheless, feedback from you while taking a closer look and simply “playing” with this preview of qooxdoo 0.8 is highly appreciated!
