Version 2.7 of Williamsburger Maps replaces the buggy, slow, memory-leaking OpenRico effects code with script.aculo.us widgets, as well as includes a minor data model change on the backend to support international locations.

Bug Fixes

• With the removal of OpenRico, the grab and drag functionality of the map has been finally restored in Firefox. I’ve also been able to remove a few extra methods I’d made to wrap exactly what’s done in the script.aculo.us Effect.BlindUp / Effect.BlindDown functions.
• Increased the width of the map panel popups to avoid 75-pixel line wrapping

New Bugs Noticed

• Since I’m using Firefox 1.5 now, it’s picking up on a few other CSS and JavaScript warnings; I’ll try to figure those out in a future version. The oddest is a complaint about parsing a z-index CSS property, but I don’t define z-index in any of my own files. It may be coming from an external JavaScript file, but that’s not clear from the error message.
