Control Suite for Prototype 1.6
No objections from me. I'd love to see more use of the Prototype 1.6 "standard" way of doing things integrated into the suite (great job on the suite, btw).
Things like Control.Modal's update method not functioning anything like the Element#update method in 1.6. Not too big a deal, but right now it doesn't really follow POLA guidelines.

holding my breath... love to see a upgraded version to prototype 1.6 especially the modal script could be rewritten easily with the document.viewport properties :)

A quick note for anyone looking for a quick fix to prevent the errors on page unload with 1.6 and Control.Modal.
Just remove the following line: Event.observe(window,'unload',Event.unloadCache,false);
(Apparently Event.unloadCache has been removed in Prototype 1.6)

As the tabs patch post (thanks!) indicated, Prototype 1.6 is out. I'm in the middle of a huge crunch on a new project, and don't have the time at the moment to update things, but I do promise a release of the entire suite for 1.6 on November 21st.
As a side note, the new release looks extremely promising in many ways, but introduces huge fundamental changes. I think it should really be called 2.0 since last I heard, most of the features (custom events, class API) intended for 2.0 are in 1.6 now, and since it breaks backwards compatibility.
As a result, I can't imagine that the new version of the Control Suite scripts will be backwards compatible. Objections?
