[OpenAjaxInterop] Hub 2.0.6 released -- Urgent fixes for IE 6/7

[Javier H Pedemonte]

I just uploaded Hub version 2.0.6.  Available here: 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/openajaxallianc/files/OpenAjaxHub/OpenAjax_Hub_2.0.6.zip

Recent Microsoft updates patched some code that was used by the RPC layer 
(from the Shindig project) to do messaging on Internet Explorer 6 and 7. 
Hub 2.0.6 fixes this by disabling the broken transport layer (NIX) and 
falling back to the fragment identifier transport (IFPC).

Unfortunately, in order to support IFPC, I had to add another parameter to 
the IframeContainer constructor.  Note, this parameter is not part of the 
Hub 2.0 Specification.  JSDoc for the parameter follows (see full 
IframeContainer docs in src/containers/iframe/iframe.js):
         * @param {String} [params.IframeContainer.clientRelay]
         *    URI of the relay file used by the client.  Must be from the 
same origin
         *    as params.IframeContainer.uri.  This value is only used by 
the IFPC
         *    transport layer, which is primarily used by IE 6 & 7. This 
value isn't
         *    required if you don't need to support those browsers.

This fix should hopefully be temporary, until a better transport layer 
(one using Flash) is finished by the Shindig project.  At that time, I'll 
update the Hub release again.

Release notes follow...



CHANGES IN VERSION 2.0.6
- Disabled use of NIX transport for IE 6/7 -- recent Microsoft updates 
broke
that transport.  Instead, fall back to using IFPC transport. 
Unfortunately,
this requires a new parameter to the IframeContainer constructor, 
"clientRelay".
Please review the documentation for that parameter in iframe.js.
- Updated tests and samples based on above changes.
