The Yahoo! Widgets team has been hard at work creating a new runtime environment to let you create even cooler Widgets. The new Yahoo! Widget Engine 3.0 is out for both Windows and Macintosh. Now the Widget Engine includes an XML parser to get at dynamic data, along with support for XPath. Frames make layout far simpler and more powerful. And now your Widgets run faster because of improvements in rendering and animation of images.
Using JavaScript and XML you can make Widgets that sit on users' desktops to provide fun and productivity during the day. What can you dream up using the new Yahoo! Widgets technology? Get the knowledge and tools to build 'em at the Widget Workshop and show off your creations at Widget Gallery.

When are you planning on testing these widgets on Linux?

I would really like to see support for current w3c standards based HTML element rendering. Even if only partial support could be justified, the inclusion of a mozilla or gecko based iframe would meet my current needs... if not that, then a basic iframe-like element could be built, with support for at least a subset of modern CSS properties, enabled to render a minimal subset of modern HTML elements.
