qooxdoo 1.2.2 (2010-12-08)

This is a regular patch release, which includes bugfixes but no feature enhancements. It is meant to be backwards compatible to qooxdoo 1.2 and 1.2.1. Nothing needs to be changed in the JavaScript code of your existing apps, if they are based on the previous 1.2.x releases.

You might want to checkout the corresponding minor release qooxdoo 1.3, which not only includes bugfixes but also many new features and improvements.
