I've pushed out a small, new version of Dojo Offline. Release notes:

* An optional new feature has been added to speed up the sync process. Currently, we always refresh the list of offline files during syncing; this can be quite slow if you have alot of files, however, and I have added a way to version your offline files. This means that we only refresh offline files when the version changes, which can speed up syncing considerably. More details here.

Dojo is proud to announce a new beta release of Dojo Offline. This release has a huge amount of exciting new functionality, including a full port to Google Gears, a port from Dojo 0.4 to 0.9, and more. Read more below.

Jay Dedman and Ryanne Hodson did a video interview about Dojo Offline with Brad Neuberg. Check it out.

We are proud to announce the beta release of the Dojo Offline Toolkit. Dojo Offline is a free, open source toolkit that makes it easy for web applications to work offline. It consists of two pieces: a JavaScript library bundled with your web page and a small (~300K) cross-platform, cross-browser download that helps to cache your web application's user-interface for use offline. This is an early-access program, so there are a few bugs, but we have made tremendous progress - it's time to get the beta out the door.
