  • Preparing for the DC session this week is the main focus
    • Tables for docs, triage/bugs, and 1.3 features (responsive table, panels)
    • Table leads will update the wiki with details before the conference
  • We're carving out time to sit down with the UI team to start planning out the tab widget re-factor slated for 1.4 which will be a converged widget for UI and mobile

  • Navigate all the things
    • second approach is winning in my estimation
    • simple navigate event
    • $.navigate (name up for debate)
      • tracks history
      • smashes url with replace state where possible
      • supplements navigate event by adding storable state to hashchange through history tracking

  • flagged issues for DC summit:
    • label Dev summit + milestone 1.1.2: fixed toolbar and transition issues
    • label Dev summit + milestone 1.3: RWD tickets
  • will open new issues on dev-summit repo that link to those and give them a table label
    • table 13 Mobile Triage - change into Mobile RWD?
    • table 14 Mobile Bugs
  • still working on:

  • Completed listview (api docs)
  • added dismissable to popup options
  • Need to revert 34a32ee
  • Added a few articles to the resources page
  • Preparing todo list for DC (please everyone step in to add what needs documenting that is not a widget):
    • jQuery Mobile api docs
    • hashchange, controlgroup, degradeinputs, events, fieldcontain, grid, init, links, media, navigation,
    • widgets: header, footer, navbar, page loading widget
    • new logo, favicon
    • add missing examples to listview
    • add prefix to event types (in events) for all widgets. The rule is event type does not use prefix where we use trigger and not _trigger
    • change cdn to 1.2.0
    • general events that need to be documented outside of widget: position, virtual mouse events…
    • Fix FF bug (demo does not appear in automatically generated iframe with demo. Hand-made iframes are fine)

link Gabriel Schulhof

  • Messed around some more with returning focus to button after popup closes. Focus management on WP7 is a disaster.
  • Accepted PR for deactivating listview item link when such a link opens a popup
  • Writing unit test for latter, seeing strange behaviour: unit tests explode when I open one more popup
  • Do we cherry-pick new popup features into 1.2-stable?
  • Found an iOS bug (https://github.com/jquery/jquery-mobile/issues/5155)
  • Messed around with trying to visualize deps between files (dot sucks at it)

  • Fixed issues related to the BlackBerry 10 theme
  • Heads up - New BlackBerry specific css properties for BB10
    • -webkit-overflow-scrolling: -blackberry-touch;
      • Same as -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch but adds over scroll even when the region doesn't need to scroll (bb10 style).
    • ext-overflow: -blackberry-fade;
      • text fades with a linear opacity gradient left to right
