So we managed to sneak one additional feature into the upcoming Appcelerator 2.1 release. Those of you developing for the iPhone will be pleased to know that we added a new condition - ‘orientationchange’ - so you can handle the origintationchanged event on the iPhone in an on-expression. How cool is that? Very. So throw this onto the pile with the new build process, project command line tools, the eclipse plugin/ide (written by Mark Luffel), the developer network (it’s slick — just wait’ll you see it), and a ton of little features and fixes all over the place. Not to mention improvements to a bunch of the widgets (like the datatable which now supports custom formatter functions, sticky sort, etc.).

We have pushed a new maintenance release which fixes 2 critical issues found after the 2.0.1 release was made available.

The main issue was related to IE and charting and the new calendar widget.

The release notes for this release are available at: http://www.appcelerator.org/release_notes_2.0.1.1.html
