Is there still an active private development?

It's been more than a year since Tero promised a full 2.0 rewrite.

Is this plugin still being develop?

I'll be starting a new project soon and I really like how jQuery Tools work. But if there are no more development on this, please tell us so that we can use another plugin and convert our existing projects to use another stable plugins.

Hi OxyFuse,

I've already passed on a copy of this to Tero to comment - I have been trying to ascertain what his plans are for Tools, but so far have not been able to get a definite answer, unfortunuately. As soon as I do, I will let you know. Based on comments I've had from Tero in the past, I do know that version 2 was planned to be a complete rewrite, and to also take advantage of more CSS3 than before - this may mean compatibility is geared more towards the later browsers? Not 100% confirmed on this - I will update as soon as I have any answer.

In the meantime, I am still very much working on trying to get the next version of the 1.x branch out - this will likely have support for jQuery 1.8; if you look through the issue logs in this Github area, you will begin to see some issues that have already been raised and are being followed up. I am without developer support though at present, so need to rely on anyone who has been able to fix an issue, and who can either provide details of a fix or (ideally) a patch - it does mean progress will be a little slower until I can get developer support.

Any new comment from Tero?

Hi OxyFuse,

I'm sorry, but no joy so far - I've not managed to get hold of Tero yet. I still have a couple of other options hopefully, so will keep you posted.

I have been working on the new Flowplayer release for a really long time. It took much longer than expected.

After the release is out I have to clean my table and make priorities. Looks like jQuery Tools is not on top. I have another side project alongside Flowplayer which I want to complete.

JQT is not forgotten. I want to make 2.0 but for now there is no active development from my side very soon.

Thanks for the update. I wonder, apart from 2.0 are there still plans for maintenance releases to keep jQueryTools working with the latest versions of jQuery?

At present there are various incompatibilities between jQueryTools and jQuery 1.8 and we're currently holding off upgrading because of this...

Hi johnnyreilly,

I'm trying to collect together fixes for making Tools compatible with jQuery 1.8 - unfortunately as I don't have any developer support at present, I am reliant on anyone who posts fixes here; it does mean things will be slower than I would like! If you (or anyone else reading this post) do come across any fixes, please post details - I will ensure they are tested and incorporated into the next release.

Hi alibby251,

Will do - the one uppermost in my mind is #839 / #850 (#850 is likely me raising a duplicate of #839). It looks like you've received a fix for that from Joe.

When a "patched for jQuery 1.8" version starts to come together I'm happy to give it a test run...

Cheers,
John

After a long absence, I'm restarting development for the 2.1 branch of jQuery - hopefully I will be able to get something out in terms of an update soon!
