jQuery UI 1.14.1 released

Posted on by

jQuery UI 1.14.1 has been released. It includes a fix for shrinking dialog contents on resizing with box-sizing set to content-box (issue #2277, PR #2281) and makes the tabs widget work correctly with IDs with backslashes (PR #2307). Dialog supports a new option: uiDialogTitleHeadingLevel. When set to a number between 1 & 6, it changes the current <span> wrapper of the dialog title into a heading element of a specified level (issue #2271, PR #2275). We’ve also enabled GitHub CodeQL checks and fixed a few reported issues.

Apart from that, there have been a number of fixes to demos available on jqueryui.com, mostly accounting for the back compat flag being off by default.

If you’re still on jQuery UI 1.13.x, see the jQuery UI 1.14.0 release blog post to learn about the changes in the 1.14.x line.

Supported jQuery versions

This release has been tested against jQuery 1.12.4, 2.2.4, 3.6.4 & 3.7.1. Since jQuery follows semver, newer jQuery <4 versions within each major version line should generally work as well.

jQuery UI 1.14.1 triggers no jQuery Migrate warnings when running its test suite against jQuery 3.7.1 with jQuery Migrate 3.5.2, i.e. the latest versions at the time of this release.

Reminder about maintenance state

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 still actively maintained.

jQuery UI 1.14.0 released

Posted on by

We are happy to announce the 1.14.0 stable release! The focus of this release is reducing the maintenance burden to ensure important issues are addressed, as outlined in the blog post about plans for jQuery UI 1.14. As of today, the jQuery UI 1.13.x line is no longer supported.

Reduced support for older browsers or jQuery

jQuery UI 1.14 finally drops support for all versions of Internet Explorer & Edge Legacy. Only the latest version of Chrome, Firefox, Safari & Edge are officially supported. Contrary to what we did in past releases, code supporting unsupported browsers has been deleted.

Support for jQuery 1.7-1.11, 2.0-2.1 & 3.0-3.5 has been dropped.

This release has been tested against jQuery 1.12.4, 2.2.4, 3.6.4 & 3.7.1. Since jQuery follows semver, newer jQuery <4 versions within each major version line should generally work as well.

jQuery UI 1.14 triggers no jQuery Migrate warnings when running its test suite against jQuery 3.7.1 with jQuery Migrate 3.5.2, i.e. the latest versions at the time of this release.

Breaking changes

Backward compatibility with the 1.11 API is disabled by default. To enable it (restoring the default 1.13 behavior), set the jQuery.uiBackCompat flag to true. We encourage trying without the compatibility layer, though – maybe your app is already using new APIs exclusively? If there are any feature gaps from the old APIs, please submit issues.

A few APIs have been removed as they were no longer needed after dropping IE support: $.fn._form, $.ui.ie, $.ui.safeActiveElement & $.ui.safeBlur. See the 1.14 Upgrade Guide for information about replacements.

The Download Builder now only supports jQuery UI 1.12 & newer. This change happened independently from the jQuery UI 1.14 release, but it’s worth reminding.

Feature: aria-modal support in the dialog widget

Modal dialogs now get the aria-modal=”true” attribute added. Thanks to that, modal dialogs cause the elements outside of the dialog to be excluded from the accessibility tree, making some accessibility tools more useful. See issue #2246 for more information.

Test infrastructure changes

jQuery UI 1.14 is tested in all supported browsers & jQuery Core versions not only post-merge as was done in the past, but also on every pull request via GitHub Actions. That should make contributing to jQuery UI easier.

This improvement was made possible by a major rewrite of jQuery UI test infrastructure, which removed all deprecated or under-supported dependencies.

Reminder about maintenance state

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 in active development.

jQuery UI 1.14.0-beta.2 released

Posted on by

Following up on our blog post on Plans for jQuery UI 1.14, it is our pleasure to announce the second beta for jQuery UI 1.14.0.

Compared to the first beta, there are two main changes:

  • Support for aria-modal attribute in dialogs have been added (PR #2257).
  • The release is now fully supported in the jQuery UI Download Builder; zip files are also available.

We’ve also finalized the migration from the TestSwarm test runner to our custom one integrated into GitHub Actions.

See the jQuery UI 1.14.0-beta.1 blog post for information about changes already available in the first beta.

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 still actively maintained.

jQuery UI 1.14.0-beta.1 released

Posted on by

Following up on our blog post on Plans for jQuery UI 1.14, it is our pleasure to announce the first beta for jQuery UI 1.14.0.

This release doesn’t offer any new features, only the following breaking changes:

  • Only the latest version of Chrome, Firefox, Safari & Edge are officially supported; there is no support for any version of IE and Edge Legacy. Contrary to what was done in past releases, code supporting unsupported browsers has been deleted.
  • Only the latest jQuery version within each major version of jQuery Core is supported. This beta was tested against jQuery 1.12.4, 2.2.4 & 3.7.1, plus two development versions: 3.x & 4.x.
  • Backwards compatibility with the 1.11 API is disabled by default. To re-enable it (restoring the default 1.13 behavior) set the jQuery.uiBackCompat flag to true.

This beta is not integrated into the jQuery UI Download Builder; support for jQuery UI 1.14 will be added before the final release. Because of that, zip bundles are not available for this beta.

We’d also like to remind you that beginning in June 2024, the Download Builder will only support jQuery UI 1.12 or newer. For more information, please read the Plans for jQuery UI 1.14 blog post.

jQuery UI 1.13.3 released

Posted on by

We’re happy to announce the third patch release to jQuery UI 1.13 is out. It includes fixes for the resizable widget when a global box-sizing: border-box CSS declaration is present (a common complaint was about resizable dialogs), support for the hidden attribute in selectmenu options, fixes for the deprecated -ms-filter syntax, and correcting the format of the deprecated ui/core.js AMD module.

jQuery UI has a new test runner ported from jQuery that allows local & BrowserStack test runs without reliance on Karma. As an added bonus, we’re now running tests against Chrome, Firefox, Safari & Edge against latest jQuery 1.x, 2.x, 3.x & the development version in GitHub CI, allowing to detect more issues at the pull request level. This will also be a basis for a future jQuery UI 1.14 – but that’s a topic for a separate blog post.

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 still actively maintained.

jQuery UI 1.13.2 released

Posted on by

We’re happy to announce the second patch release to jQuery UI 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 fixed:

jQuery UI 1.13.1 released

Posted on by

We’re happy to announce the first patch release to jQuery UI 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.

jQuery UI 1.13.0 released

Posted on by

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 dropped; jQuery 1.8 & newer remain supported.

In this release, all individual module files as well as bundled jQuery UI copies produced by the Download Builder have all its code running in strict mode. This shouldn’t matter for most users as jQuery has been running in strict mode since 3.0 released in 2016.

Apart from that, two small features were added:

  1. Accordion’s header option may now accept not only a selector matching header elements but also a function taking the accordion element as a parameter and returning the header elements; more details in the docs for the header option.
  2. Datepicker options now include the optional onUpdateDatepicker callback, called when the datepicker widget’s DOM is updated.

To simplify the maintenance of jQuery UI, we’re sunsetting the old bug tracker at https://bugs.jqueryui.com (we’ll keep it in read-only mode) in favor of GitHub issues.

jQuery UI has struggled with finding contributors for the past few years; our goal is to move it more to 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. We’ll get a longer blog post about the state of jQuery UI when we release 1.13 final. Note that this does not affect jQuery Core which is still actively maintained.

jQuery UI 1.13.0-rc.3 released

Posted on by

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 revert the changes instead. While it brings some issues from jQuery UI 1.12 back, those issues have been there for many years so existing projects already had to adapt. Old & known bugs are better than new & unknown ones, especially with limited resources to maintain the project. This should also make it easier to update from jQuery UI 1.12 to 1.13.

See the 1.13.0-rc.2 blog post for more details about the goals of the 1.13 release.

jQuery UI 1.13.0-rc.2 released

Posted on by

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 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.
