In the past week we’ve focused on removing serious businesslogic bugs, cross browser compatibility and polishing the UI.
Most remarkable result this week, is a reduction in back office load times of 70% compared
to Umbraco v3!
This means that any issues with backwards compatibility in the APIs are solved, we got full support for WebKit based browsers in the backend (Safari/Chrome), IE6 works again and quirks with Firefox andediting document type properties are solved.
We’ve also “leaned” the javascript library usage in umbraco, so we no longer rely on a lot of different libraries.
At the same time we’re compressing client script files in our build process to make the umbraco UI much more lightweight – the complete size of client files have gone from 7.8mb to 287kb!
