The second alpha release of Seaside 2.9 was announced today. This release mainly contains fixes for critical issues reported to the Seaside bug tracker and features a brand new Seaside builder. This is a convenient way to create taylored load scripts for various flavours of Seaside 2.9.

Choices presented by the Seaside Builder

There have been also some fixes to JQuery “The Write Less, Do More, JavaScript Library”, which became a new part of Seaside 2.9.

So head over to my Seasidemo or use the Seaside Builder to have a look at the new stuff.

Update: I forgot to mention the new Seaside Control Panel. It nicely lets you start and stop different Seaside Servers running in one Smalltalk image.
