Releases for Modal Frame API

Release notes

Changes since Modal Frame API 6.x-1.5

Release notes:

• This is a quick release to deploy a few new features and a quite simple performance enhancement that makes Modal Frames load faster.
• There's no need to run update.php to upgrade. Just make sure your javascript caches are cleared. You should also rebuild your theme registry.
• You may also want to check out the new Modal Frame Contrib Package. It comes with a few mini-modules that implement Modal Frames here and there.

Features:

• Transform function triggerParentEvent() into a method of the modalFrameChild object, so it can be easily reused.
• Added onLoad option to client-side modal frame (callback to invoke when the child document in the modal frame is fully loaded).
• Package name replaced from "User interface" to "Modal frame", because we now have the modalframe_contrib package that provides a few modules that implement Modal Frame API for common day to day tasks.
• Added onLoad event handler for the iframe element to catch up bugs in server-side of child processing when modalframe_child_js() is not invoked.
• Added Drupal.theme('modalFrameThrobber') as a helper theme function that can be reused elsewhere.

Release notes

Development snapshot of the Modal Frame API for Drupal 7.x

Note for those interested in Drupal 7 support for this modue: It seems this feature is being included in Drupal core itself. So, probably there will be no stable release of this module for Drupal 7 because it will be already there. :-D See: #517688: Initial D7UX admin overlay.
