jQuery Mobile 1.2.0 Release Candidate 2

Posted on by

The jQuery Mobile team is excited to announce the second release candidate for 1.2.0. We had a few bugs come in with RC1 that we wanted to fix up before going final. Notably, we’ve re-enabled the fix for selects and inputs zooming in unnecessarily in iOS6 and improved popup support in Opera Mini (though positioning is still less than ideal).

There are a ton of great new features in 1.2.0 so if you haven’t been following along, see the alpha, beta, and RC1 blog posts for full details of features and changes leading up to this RC.

We’re hoping this will be the last RC before heading to the final release. If we don’t see a showstopper bug come in, this will be the same code we’ll release as 1.2.0 stable. Please help us test and report issues before we move to the final version. Try it now!

Change log (since 1.2.0 RC1)

CSS

Adjusting comment to be simple apostrophe rather than special character  – Remove an unusual character in CSS comment that was causing compilation problems. Thanks @ecaron!

Core

When the hash portion of the initial URL is exactly equal to the dialog hash key, we must trigger a hashchange (Issue: #5021)

Navbar

Added clearfix for navbar (Issues: #5008 #5032) – CSS improvement to avoid styling issues when Navbars placed in listviews.

Popup

Add hashListeningEnabled to the intersection that establishes whether we will use history or not

Do not use history when there is no AJAX (Issue: #5006) – Fix for non working popups on BlackBerry 5.

Prevent positioning context bug for close buttons within popups in Opera Mini

Reuse dialog hash if already present and tack on another if it is part of the initial hash (Issue: #4994) – Popup refactoring to support browser refresh when a popup is open.

Use $.inArray, because IE does not seem to have .indexOf() on arrays

Select

Event timing difference in iOS 6 was causing zoom to be disabled and immediately re-enabled prior to the zoom taking place (Issue: #5041) – Fix for iOS 6 which reintroduces a select input page-zoom issue.

Toolbar

Added class ui-popup to tapToggleBlacklist – The tap toggle feature for fixed toolbars now is disabled when popups are open.

    Hi
    Good stuff!
    I am trying to build a Popup menu on the fly, but it seams like it does not get rendered ..
    Is theer a way to call the Create method before I show the Popup?
    Thanks
    Kim

    It would be nice if $.mobile.loading provided (possibly themeable/configurable) an overlay similar to the one that appears when you open a popup (for example: $(“#mypopup”).popup(“open”); ) so that one can provide a status message when ajax calls are running — will disabling access to the UI at the same time.
