Continuing with the jQuery anniversary announcements, we’re happy to announce the first stable release of jQuery UI 1.10. While, 1.10 doesn’t add any new widgets, it does continue the API redesigns and fixes dozens of bugs.

API Redesign: Dialog

The dialog widget has undergone an API redesign, making it more consistent with other widgets and providing better stacking and modal support. Make sure to read the upgrade guide so you can migrate away from the deprecated APIs.

API Redesign: Progressbar

The progressbar widget has undergone an API redesign, though there are no breaking changes. The only significant change was the addition of support for indeterminate progressbars. Check out the upgrade guide for more information.

Improved Accessibility

We put a lot of effort into making dialog and progrssbar as accessibile as possible. Unfortunately ARIA still needs some work before it can be used without hacks, but we’re working closely with standards bodies, browser vendors, and the accessibility community to improve web accessibility beyond jQuery.

Deprecated APIs

As mentioned above, dialog went through an API redesigns which resulted in some existing APIs being deprecated. These APIs will be removed in 1.11.0. The 1.10.0 release includes a flag to disable all deprecated APIs, allowing you to determine if your code is ready for 1.11.0 even before it is released. There are full details on how to use the flag in the upgrade guide.

Removed 1.8 Back Compat

Several APIs were deprecated in 1.9.0 and have now been removed. If you haven’t already prepared for this change, make sure to read the upgrade guide so you can migrate away from the now obsolete APIs.

Supported jQuery Versions and Browsers

jQuery UI 1.10.0 supports jQuery 1.6 and newer. That’s 13 versions! Multiply that by the number of supported browsers and you’ve got quite a support matrix. Speaking of supported browsers, jQuery UI no longer provides support for IE6.

If you have feedback on us doing our final release for jQuery UI 1.10.0, feel free to leave a comment below. Thank you.

The first release candidate for jQuery UI 1.10 is out. We landed more bug fixes since our 1.10 beta release, but nothing major. So the big changes to come in 1.10 are still the same:

Dialog API redesign and a ton of accessibility updates: This was our main goal for this release. Dialog is now easier to use (fewer (useless) options), avoids a ton of issues thanks for a new approach to stacking and a lot more accessible. When you press a button to open a dialog, then close that dialog, focus will move back to that opening button. Full keyboard control is therefore much easier. Focus handling inside the dialog also got better. Together this makes dialog much more usable in combination with screenreaders. And you get all that while the API stayed pretty much the same.
Progressbar API redesign: The one change here is to add support for indeterminate progress bars.
We’ve removed the backward compability layers in Accordion, Autocomplete, Effects, Position, Tabs and Widget, reducing the filesize of these components, quite significantly for Tabs. If you’ve upgraded from 1.8 to 1.9 and haven’t updated your usage yet, check out the 1.9 upgrade guide for necessary changes.

For a full list of changes, see the list of 1.10 fixed tickets. You can read more about the API redesigns in a previous blog post. We’re working on a full changelog and upgrade guide for the final release.

jQuery core 1.9.0rc1 was also just released, so grab a copy and double up on your testing!

As mentioned in the Beta release post: One new widget almost made it into this release: Selectmenu. We’re still working on the accessibility side of that and you can expect it in 1.11, which will come as quickly as 1.10.
