I wanted to add Dojo 1.0 for the final release, but was shot down
because the code was in high resistance mode. (It literally became
available only days before our final release.) Unfortunately, I don't
believe Woodstock 4.1 can be compatible with Dojo 1.0 without a few core
changes. For example, Dojo changed the widget constructor signature, yet
again. Similarly, they changed a couple JavaScript file names, so some
dojo.require statements will no longer work properly. Moving from Dojo
.4 to .9 was a nightmare for us, but this won't be nearly as bad --
doesn't help you any, though.

That said, there are plans to create a Woodstock 4.1.1 release, due
around Dec 3rd. This should include Dojo 1.0 along with some performance
enhancements and more a11y support.
