It looks pretty dead or dying... is it still going to be part of
mootools?

And also from the Caldera code - where is now JFrame? Link from Aaron
blog looks dead...


Thanks,
Robert

I read an article (errr, email comment?) several months ago saying that ART was not of a focus for MT at this point in time, but not necessarily dead. It just received much lower priority than other items. I tried to find that link, but not coming up successful. Grr!

However, I do see that there has been a commit to ART less than 2 months ago: https://github.com/kamicane/art

Well, ART is, to my mind, actually in a pretty usable and useful state at the moment. I'm using it for charts and graphs in a production application. There are a few rough edges, and some places that need attention, yes. But if more people actually start using it, then there'll be a greater impetus for its continued development.

Maybe, but if it is not going to be supported in the future I am not
going to use it.
On jsfiddle ART is only available for 1.2, which probably means it is
not ready for 1.3 and 1.4.


thanks,

The list of libraries and related dependencies is by no mean a place to
check if anything is supported or not.

We add there stuff with delays, plus most of the time by request from
the community.

You can use Sebastian's fork: https://github.com/calyptus/art

I believe it's MooTools independent.
