Release notes
RC6 ushers in a few significant changes and new features. The two biggest are support for RTL and a new layout system that aligns everything to a 16 column 960px grid, although this is for the most part still a conventional content source ordered layout (not a grids framework), although a grids-like framework is used for aligning blocks using the new Skinr classes
- RTL support in core theme, lots of work here to fully support RTL layouts (proper mirror effect) although to achieve this we pretty much abandon IE6 although it will work its not perfect.
- completely overhauled layout values - the default width is now 960px and everything is aligned to a 16 column 960px grid. Blocks can now be nested in sidebars and everything still holds to the grid.
- full support for Skinr module in nodes, blocks and modules - this time we include a full set of grids classes (16 column 60 px cols) that can be applied to blocks to align and nest them in regions and sidebars (and gpanels). You need to download and install http://drupal.org/project/skinr as of writing this page use the DEV version
- gpanels layout method modified to work with 960 grid concept, and now two layout values are included: a strait pixel based method for use with the default 960px layout and fluid grids for fluid or elastic layouts.
- edit link icons now included & title attributes
- block admin blocks now collapsed by default, new block collapse js with toggle icons link
- new theme setting to switch on Firebug lite (you need to download the firebug lite script and install it in the theme).
- many other small chagnes, mostly small bug fixes and slight changes moving bits of code around to where it makes sense, such as moving edit links CSS into base to reduce the need to load an additional stylesheet just for edit links (10 lines of css...).
Note that the number of stylesheets has exploded due to full RTL support.
