Blog » jQuery UI 1.5 release candidate, we’re getting excited
Posted June 2nd, 2008 by PaulThe jQuery 1.5 release candidate is now available at http://ui.jquery.com/download for everyone to test and download!
This is the most stable UI version ever, and it fixed all known bugs that are not in the categories “minor” or “trivial”, which means that we ourselves think it’s good to go. However, the reason why we’re still holding off with the final release is the fact that we want you to try out every aspect of our release candidate.
Therefore, the jQuery UI team encourages you to try out the demos on the website in any of the supported browsers, play around with every option you can find and test in different browsers using the new unit tests, which we’re finalizing right now. If you grab the whole development package from the website, it will come with unit tests for slider, draggables and resizables. We are working on other automated tests, which can be downloaded in the next few days from our SVN.
If you find anything strange going on, or if something isn’t working / looking like it should, that’s great 
! Please then submit your issue to us via the new jQuery UI bugtracker at http://ui.jquery.com/bugs/newticket. This will greatly help us to make the final release as solid as possible.
Now we really don’t want you to wait any longer than needed: I’m very excited to announce that jQuery UI 1.5 will be released and announced in exactly 6 days, on June 8th, along with updated documentation and a epic changelog to convince your bosses and collegues.
See you soon!
The jQuery UI Team

How are we supposed to give this a good testing when there isn’t documentation on how all the features work?
For example something I have been waiting for is sortables. In your demo if I move all the elements to one list I can’t get any back to the other list. In searching the bug list I found a vague reference to a dropOnEmpty that was added a while back, but there is no documentation on how to use it. There are no tests for the sortable script to try and glean information from (I know you said you’d be adding more).
Same with Dialog. Your demo has “Ops, there is no template file for this component.” (misspelled “Oops” btw). No tests, no documentation.
I would love to participate and make sure things are working, but without instructions on how to implement things that is fairly difficult.
I’m sure this is a chicken and the egg thing. You don’t want to document till things are final, but how can people actually use your stuff if there is no documentation. I guess for now “testing” is left to the examples you provide, and those who want to read through the code to see how things work.

Awesome news Paul! I’m looking forward to it!
I think the Layout demo will need some update =p

The jQuery UI project is getting mature thanks to Paul and the team!

Good job guys! Perfect timing for me, as I’m going to start working on a quite large eshop project in a couple of weeks and there’s a lot of UI stuff going to be implemented and I really wished the new UI was ready at that time.
Thanks a lot!

Thanks!
I’ll test it right now
The link in the UI homepage still links to the beta 4.

Should the sortable floating really behave like this.
http://ui.jquery.com/functional_demos/#ui.sortable
Using Firefox 2.x when you move them around the get placed on top of each other. But only if you “throw” them back and forth fast.

just a question, was “shadow” effect dropped? Can’t find it anymore. If it was dropped, why?

[…] In addition, jQuery UI has recently reached release-candidate status, which means all non minor or trivial issues were solved and it’s getting to the point that it will production ready shortly. I have been using its components for a while in anticipation of such release, and hopefully they will have their documentation up soon. […]

Awesome, but why wouldn’t you include enchant in any of the demos?? I really that people would rather see this then tabs and draggables…

[…] Wir müssen nicht mehr lange warten und jQuery UI 1.5 wird released. Neben einigen Komponenten und hübschen Effekten, bietet der Core eine – für Plugin-Autoren – interessante Widget-Factory, welche ich mal am Beispiel einer Canvas Imagemap näher unter die Lupe nehmen möchte. Als erstes sollte man sich daher die neuesten Versionen von jQuery, UI und explorercanvas (wir wollen ja, dass die Beispiele auch ein bisschen im IE funktionieren.) besorgen. Hier findet ihr eine - zugegebenermaßen - häßliche Demo des einfachen CanvasMap-Plugins (ich bin kein Grafiker und scheitere bereits bei Imagemaps

Time to start testing! Yeah, thank you much. JQuery is something I do recommend. Just need to work out MY bugs on my end
Hmmm, the testing layout will need work? Looking forward to working with it.
