• version 0.10.0 ***

In this release, the directory structure has been modified to provide more component organization. This is the new format:

yui/

|
-- build/
| |
| -- dom/
| |
| | -- assets/
| |
| | -- dom.js
| |
-- docs/
| |
| -- dom/
| |
-- examples/
| |
| -- dom/
| |
| | -- img/

Notice there are three immediate directories under the root YUI. They are:

*build/* This directory contains the source files for each YUI component, and each component is presented as a sub-directory under build/. Notice that there are generally two source files: component.js and component-min.js. The "component" source is the raw, commented build and "component-min" is the minified version of the same file with comments and whitespace removed. With some components, there is an assets sub-directory. CSS and image dependencies for each component are stored in its assets sub-directory.

Note: If a component makes use of images, the image source path in the component's CSS file will point to Akamai. The physical images are also available in the assets/ directory for local availability. Please modify the CSS image references if you wish to use your own image assets.

*docs/* This directory contains the jsdoc-generated API reference for every YUI component. Each component is presented as a sub-directory under docs/.

*examples/* This directory contains functional examples for each component in the YUI Library. The examples are not part of the formal distribution; rather, they provide demonstrations of each component in use. Each example uses YUI Library source files from the build/ directory, while all example-specific dependencies are stored in sub-directories (e.g. examples/dom/img). Some components, including the AutoComplete Control and Connection Manager, make use of PHP to implement certain examples.

For example: In yui/examples/dom, the dom.js source file and all YUI .js dependencies are drawn from yui/build/ directories. All other example-specific sources are stored as sub-directories: yui/examples/dom/css and yui/examples/dom/img.

Each functional example is also available and functional on developer.yahoo.com/yui/. They reproduced here as part of the distribution for your convenience.
