David Flanagan informs us that the new edition, the 5th one, of Javascript: The Definitive Guide is complete and will be published on August 1st.
I was really looking forward for O'Reilly to put this new edition through a Rough Cuts phase. Oh well...
Interesting new bits are a chapter on embedding JavaScript in Java 6 programs and SVG client-side graphics scripting ...and the mandatory additions of Ajax and DOM scripting. Apparently Javascript still has classes, even-though it doesn't (unless that refers to JS2.0) - I wonder what David's decision was regarding the wording in that area .
