We’re happy to announce the second patch release to jQuery 1.13 is out. It includes a security fix for the Checkboxradio widget, a few localization updates for Datepicker and some fixes for issues submitted by the community. Built jQuery UI files are now included in the npm package; this was important to some CDNs that rely on it as the source of truth. More details about the security issue will be shared soon. Please remember jQuery UI is in a maintenance state: we’ll make sure the library is compatible with new jQuery releases and that security issues are fixed but no new significant feature ..read more

We’re happy to announce the first patch release to jQuery 1.13 is out. It mostly consists of fixes for 1.13 regressions reported to us since the 1.13.0 release. Fixes involve the Widget, Autocomplete, Sortable & Tooltip modules. Please remember jQuery UI is in a maintenance state: we’ll make sure the library is compatible with new jQuery releases and that security issues are fixed but no new significant feature work is planned. We’ll also try to fix important regressions from jQuery UI 1.12.1; older long-standing bugs may not get fixed. Note that this does not affect jQuery Core which is s ..read more

By: Michał Gołębiowski-Owczarek, Felix Nagel, and the jQuery team Editor’s Note: the following blog post was originally published to the OpenJS Foundation Blog. jQuery maintainers are continuing to modernize its overall project that still is one of the most widely deployed JavaScript libraries today. The team announced that the cross-platform jQuery Mobile project under its umbrella will be fully deprecated as of October 7, 2021. New technologies for mobile app development have evolved since this project was launched in 2010, so we’re encouraging developers to plan for this jQuery Mobile trans ..read more

By: Michał Gołębiowski-Owczarek, Felix Nagel, and the jQuery team Editor’s Note: the following blog post was originally published to the OpenJS Foundation Blog. The jQuery project is actively maintained and widely implemented — it’s used by 73% of 10 million most popular websites. As part of its ongoing effort to modernize the project, jQuery maintainers have taken steps to wind down one of its projects under the jQuery umbrella through a careful transition.  Today, jQuery UI announced version 1.13 — its first release in 5 years and the project’s final planned release. Perhaps the most im ..read more

After a long break, it is our pleasure to announce the 1.13.0 release. The main focus of this release was improving compatibility with recent jQuery versions so we postponed most breaking changes like removal of deprecated APIs and removal of legacy browser support to a possible future release. Usage of deprecated jQuery APIs have been removed. jQuery UI 1.13 triggers no jQuery Migrate warnings when running its test suite against jQuery 3.6.0 with jQuery Migrate 3.3.2, i.e. the latest versions at the moment of this release. A few security issues have been fixed. Support for jQuery 1.7 has been ..read more

We’re happy to announce the 1.13.0-rc.3 release of jQuery UI. The only changes in that version compared to 1.13.0-rc.2 that we announced a few weeks ago are fixes to themes. Due to a CSS specificity issue, blank icons in 1.13.0-rc.2 weren’t actually blank; we increased the specificity of a relevant selector to fix the issue. The next set of issues were caused by a few changes to themes that were made to fix other issues and to improve how various themes look. Unfortunately, those changes were incomplete and caused bigger issues. Given the maintenance status of jQuery UI, we’ve decided to rever ..read more

After a long break, it is our pleasure to announce the 1.13.0-rc.2 release. The release is feature-complete, we just wanted to give developers some time to test it & report any critical issues before we release the final. We didn’t find any such issues during our internal testing. If no blocking issues get reported, we expect to release 1.13.0 final in a few weeks. You might be wondering what happened to 1.13.0-rc.1. A critical issue in the release script made the final built file not work at all, only individual AMD modules were fine. This made us not announce that release. The main focus ..read more

The last few years have been difficult for the jQuery UI and jQuery Mobile projects. The projects have suffered from lack of resources and funding and loss of contributors due to a variety of factors. These combined factors have nearly stopped development on both projects. To remedy this situation we have decided to make some changes in the projects’ teams in addition to how they work. Scott Gonzalez has lead the jQuery UI project for many years now and has helped to improve the quality tremendously. He has decided to step down from leading the project though he will still be helping in va ..read more

We’re proud to announce our latest stable release. jQuery UI 1.12 features two new widgets, an updated base theme, overhauled effects, improved environment support and numerous bug fixes! What happened to 1.12.0? You may have noticed that even though 1.12.0 was released back in July, there was never any announcement. We had several issues surrounding the release, some code issues, but mostly infrastructure issues. Because the infrastructure issues took so long to resolve, we decided to wait until the 1.12.1 release to officially announce 1.12. The big changes in 1.12 are: New theme: Our long-t ..read more

The second release candidate for jQuery UI 1.12 is out, fixing a few regressions in our first and only beta. You can find details for the bug fixes in the changelog for 1.12.0-rc2. If you’re new to our 1.12 pre-releases, the big changes in 1.12 are: New theme: Our long-time default grayscale theme Smoothness has been succeeded by a modern theme with some colors, less gradients and some other improvements. The new theme is already live on ThemeRoller (where you can also find the ‘Smoonthness’ under the Gallery tab). New widgets: Controlgroup replaces buttonset and adds support for selectmenu an ..read more
