Introducing Siesta: A Testing Tool for Ext JS
Siesta is a new unit testing framework for Ext JS and other JavaScript code. Testing Ext JS, or any JavaScript-centric web framework, can be difficult because the available tools are not really suited for the task. Most popular web UI testing tools don’t offer enough help unless your application uses simple static HTML pages. This is where Siesta is different from the rest, because its top priority is Ext JS testing.
What’s Coming in Ext JS 4.1
The primary focus of the upcoming Ext JS 4.1 release is performance. We have been hard at work to improve performance across the board, but we have concentrated on two main areas: rendering and layout. While the majority of our time has been dedicated to this effort, there are many other exciting developments to share. Chief among these are some major improvements to grid and border layout and a preview of the new Neptune theme.

A Fresh Approach to JavaScript Documentation—The New Ext JS 4 Documentation Center
Since the launch of Ext JS 4 we’ve been hard at work improving all aspects of helping you learn the framework.

You’ve given us a tremendous amount of support as well as suggestions on how to improve via the active docs app threads on the forums. We’ve been listening and today I’d like to share a few of the improvements we’ve made with you, as well as some of what we’re working on.
