Note that this is a condensed, simplified version of the full changelog. This file will help you convert old WebDDM code to new code and shows all the major changes and new features. New Features:

• Background Items
• Native Scrolling
• Alternative positioning system: relative positions
• Use different measurement units
• Build URLs automatically
• Dynamic shadows
• Rebuild menus

Changes:

• Many, many optimizations everywhere; of special note: event handlers, styling system, and sliding menus
• Tooltip code is now separate from core code
• Alpha transition and clip transition code separated from core code
• Removed 'url', 'status', and 'target' attributes from core code
• Fixed bug in IE where individual CSS styles could not contain spaces
• Fixed issue preventing using the same menu data for multiple menus on one page
• Changed subitem positioning system to make it easier to use
• Removed some workarounds that were needed before the background item system was in place
• Height and width are no longer needed for item containers.
• Item containers now overflow (content isn't chopped off).
• Cut generation time in half and fix a bug in Internet Explorer that causes memory leaks (to clarify, this is a bug in IE, not WebDDM)
• Changed all string timeouts to anonymous functions to improve speed
• In Gecko browsers, events sometimes fired before WebDDM loaded completely: a workaround has been added for this
• Moved most floating menu code outside of core code
• Menus are no longer closed on document.onblur/document.onclick if "none" is found in the "contract_menu" attribute
• Removed 'filter' attribute: the same effect can be achieved with just CSS
• The cursor type is not set unless the 'cursor' attribute is found
• Better menu "cleaning": faster, smaller, simpler, less fidgety
• Split up source files
• Improvements and bug fixes with delayed menu opening
