The Uploader readme file has been updated and is available in the uploader folder in git. The following summarizes the changes to uploader in YUI 2.7.0: 2.7.0 * Bug fixes - All global variables were converted to member variables of YAHOO - Changes in how the specific instances of uploader are tracked when events are dispatched from Flash (to avoid initialization race conditions particularly visible in Firefox 3 with AdBlock) * New optional forceTransparent argument was added to the Uploader constructor: if true, it forces Flash to render the Flash app as transparent even if it's running in the "button" mode (for use with non-rectangular PNG buttons with transparency). @Michael,

Apologies for the oversight. The Uploader readme file has been updated and is available in the uploader folder in git. The following summarizes the changes to uploader in YUI 2.7.0:

2.7.0

* Bug fixes
– All global variables were converted to member variables of YAHOO
– Changes in how the specific instances of uploader are tracked when events are dispatched from Flash (to avoid initialization race conditions particularly visible in Firefox 3 with AdBlock)

* New optional forceTransparent argument was added to the Uploader constructor: if true, it forces Flash to render the Flash app as transparent even if it’s running in the “button” mode (for use with non-rectangular PNG buttons with transparency).

Not about YUI, but about the quality of the list of changes. The detailed changelog for 2.7.0 says "uploader: no changes". Now, I just diff-ed the JS file and the swf file, and both have changed. The interface even received a new parameter (forceTransparent {Boolean})! There were quite a few changes in uploader, but NO TRACE in the changelog or anywhere, not here on the website, not in the local README. Diff shows appr. 67 lines removed and 55 added for the uploader.js file alone. This, and the new parameter, surely shouldn't register as "no change"??? I would like to complain.

It's cool that I don't have to maintain this code any more! I used this to give a user ability to create in real time his own skin for site and save it as CSS. Maybe some example in StyleSheet's examples covering that is good idea?

We removed this, largely to make this type of upgrade easier in the future. Removing references to -beta and -experimental may fix your issue. The easiest way to get an optimized list of dependencies for a release is to use the YUI dependency configurator: http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/articles/hosting/ @Yvo Schapp: Google has added the 2.7.0 release to their CDN. @Greg Raven and @Rocketman: prior to 2.7.0, the file names reflected the -beta or -experimental status of the component.
