  • https://github.com/jquery/jquery-mobile/issues/4649
  • https://github.com/jquery/jquery-mobile/issues/4727 Do we want an event "popupbeforeclose" triggered from close() which, if default-prevented, will not close the popup? May have ugly implications for nav, because we need to go forward, back to the popup when the user clicks back. So, we’ll behave like one of those annoying redirects where you can no longer access your browser history by simply clicking back. Decision: wait until post-1.2 to look at this, could be complex with the nav model
  • https://github.com/jquery/jquery-mobile/issues/4723 Reposition: Seems decent now, let's test on many different devices, and close this bug.
  • https://github.com/jquery/jquery-mobile/issues/4595 changeHash: false pages are skipped over during navigation - we can close this, because we agreed that we won't do anything about this, right?
  • Test the living daylights out of popups, because I
    • pushed a lot of code restructuring changes
    • made it center to window upon orientationchange
  • Pie-in-the-sky:
    • Suspend pagebeforechange using deferred(s). Helps integration with other frameworks, because we give devs a chance to await the completion of async ops before we display the page that needs the result of those ops.
    • Cookie-based do-not-navigate-outside-jQM unit tests. Test combinations of opening dialogs, pages, popups, pages from dialogs, pages from popups, dialogs from popups, popups from dialogs, etc., and make sure the navigation doesn’t go to a page outside the portion of browser history covered by the current nstance of jQuery mobile.

  • Raised some issues with the jQuery UI team regarding the API site (code highlighting, NAN in code line numbering). 1st issue is fixed. 2nd will be soon.
  • http://code.jquery.com/mobile/latest/jquery.mobile.js still old (16th July)
  • Discussed jsbin with Remy Sharp. We can now view jQuery Mobile code in Output panel, except in FF.
