The move to MooTools is probably the most significant change here. MooTools 1.2.3 has some new power that allowed us to cut away some of the complex code that was chaining animations together and do it in a much more predictable fashion. This means less code for your viewers to download and fewer corner cases.
But if you’re here to help us beta test* then pay particular attention to the lightbox. Many of the animations were rewritten using the MooTools “morph” command, so there could be some bugs lurking in there.
*If you’re here just ‘cause you like new stuff. We do too. That’s OK.

We’re moving all of our plugins that use effects over to MooTools 1.2.3. Why? Because if you plan to use together, then they’ll need to be using the same version of MooTools. One web page can’t have two versions.
And that’s an importing thing to consider. If your theme or some other effects you have on the page use an older version of MooTools or Moo.fx, then you should consider sticking with Collage 2.0 for now. Wait until all the effects on the page can be updated, then update all of them all at once.
Please make sure you’re using the latest RapidWeaver. This version is Leopard and Snow Leopard compatible.
Beta warningAlthough we strive to make sure that beta builds are of a high enough quality for the public to use, betas do pose some risk. Make sure to back up your data and wait until the final release to publish your mission critical work.
