The theming guide documents a bug it claims to be specific to "ExtJS 4.0.2a"

Due to a bug in Ext JS 4.0.2a you will also need to edit line 62 of appname/extjs/resources/themes/lib/utils.rb from this:

images_path = File.join($ext_path, 'resources', 'themes', 'images', theme)
to this:

images_path = relative_path
This ensures images will be served from appname/resources/images rather than appname/extjs/resources/images

As far as I can tell though, this bug is still present in this release and not listed in the known issues...

I do not see EXTJSIV-5861 in the known issues. Really hope it makes it in to the 4.1 final.

Nice release guys!

EXTJSIV-3712 - 4.0.5 tabpanel shows blue strip in header in IE
This one is that hard to fix? Today I started to build an app that use the gray theme and I want to fix that before show to my client.

Where can I get the 4.1 RC3 's online API?
In the download version, some examples like calendar are not available...

EXTJSIV-5802 - fix of this bug is really helpful! Thanx!

[whyte624]

ext-all-dev.js has problems with loading store.
In previous version everything worked.

Any update on the general performances issues ?
Is it planned for final realese ?
Are you guys still working on this ?

[AlexKorn]

I've been following the 4.1 development saga for a while now. I was nervous to try it out in my app because of other people's complaints about the instability of the first beta/RC releases.

But I just tried it out.

I gotta say - great work guys! This was basically a drop-in for 4.0.7->4.1 RC3. I only ran into a couple necessary changes in my code, which I found easily on the forums.

Also, it's noticeably faster - even in Chrome.

[duvalu10]

yes, It would be great to know if the IE 6 & 7 performance improvements are scheduled for the final 4.1 release. Can someone please provide an update on this.
