YUI has announced a major new release with the immediate availability of YUI 2.4.

Key Features:

Selector Utility: Following in the footsteps of most other toolkits, YUI now includes a CSS Selector. This beta component includes much of the standard CSS3 selector syntax including the proposed Selector extensions.
Charting: Using a hybrid Flash / Javascript model, a new charting component has been released with support for bar, line and pie charts. Of special note is the fact that the charting utility utilizes the same data model as the data table implementation allowing hybrid chart / table interfaces.
Get: dynamically load scripts and nodes via the new Get tools.
Profiler: This combined with YUI Test will allow you to quickly and efficiently determine profiles and unit tests. Most notably, profiler allows unit tests based on performance to be performed.
JSON Utility: dramatically improved JSON support.
