Good to hear that.  I have come across two issues.  I've just submitted
tickets for both of them: #95 & #96.  The first one is that the MouseToolbar
buttons don't change state visibly when the user clicks on them although
they are otherwise functional.  The second one is a little more subtle (at
least if you're using layers that render quickly):  I've found that under
IE6 the map does not refresh until all the image tiles are loaded.  With a
slow map server this makes a huge difference to the perceived responsiveness
of the map.  I played with Google Maps for a while and it looks like they
have found some way to work around this.


Right now the release is *only* blocking on proper documentation of

I think complete API documentation can wait because you've got a nice set of
examples showing how to use many of the features.  Since you're using a wiki
the documentation can grow organically as time goes on anyways.
