The 0.8.0 release is a formal release of the code, and it includes built versions of jQuery 1.4.2 with RequireJS already integrated.
I also updated my jQuery fork to include the latest changes -- jQuery's page load callbacks will not fire unless all scripts loaded with RequireJS have also finished loading.
I plan to do integrations with other browser toolkits, MooTools and Prototype being next on my list. I also hope the jQuery community will want to pull the changes I have in my jQuery fork into their master at some point.
If you are a team member for one of these toolkits, please let me know what I can do in RequireJS to provide the best code loading and module format for browser-based toolkits. It would be great if we can reach consensus on code loading. I am happy to make changes in RequireJS if it moves us all closer to that.
While the release version is 0.8, this code has been battle-tested in Raindrop, a sizable JavaScript-centric messaging web app. Raindrop uses a version of Dojo 1.4 that has been converted to the RequireJS module format, and all Raindrop modules are written as RequireJS modules.
Some other notes about the release:
- RequireJS 0.8.0 can run in Rhino, but its main design target is the browser.
- It comes with an optimization tool that can combine and minify your JavaScript.

really kicks ass! thanks man, however you could replace the token:
"for(m=w.length-1;p=w[m];m--){"
by
"m=w.length;while(p!=w[m]){--m;"
in the minidifed source found at http://requirejs.org/docs/release/0.8.0/minified/require.js to get rid of the error "Index or size is negative or greater than the allowed amount" code: 1" which is shown in FF

e.plischke: thanks, the issue you report has already been fixed in the latest code in GitHub, I was being too optimistic about the file name not changing. The fix should appear in a 0.8.1 release that I hope to do in the next few days.
