[jonathannaguin]

So jQuery Mobile people is about to release the public 1.4, right now there is a pre-release with a lot of changes. Among the most important this:

• No generating of inner button markup.

might be a problem, riight?

Did anyone test this with jQuery Mobile 1.3.2 ?
Docs/source tell me it currently runs on 1.3.1.

@sn3p @jonathannaguin we haven't tested it with 1.3.2 yet. We are not sure what will break with 1.4 but we will get there when it will get released.

Any updates on this? JQM 1.4 has had its first Release Candidate so the final version might be released soon :)

[mkuklis]

We ran into a couple of rather bigger issues with 1.4 because their markup changed a lot. We are still working on it when we have a free time. We hope to release something soon.

Ah, I thought it'd be a big operation when I saw that they were focussing on performance, by reducing the number of dom-elements and operations. I'm working on a project in which we use this theme (or actually, the 'jquery-mobile-square-ui' variant) and we really want to upgrade to jqm 1.4 (possibly using angular-jqm).
So maybe we can help with whatever needs to be done to get this working with 1.4 :)

@DURK sounds good. I would really like to wait for the official release just in case things change but will look into it this week and get back to you. Just out of curiosity how does the angular perform in the mobile environment? Would be curious to learn more.

guys some initial work has been done for jqm 1.4 you can see it here: https://rawgithub.com/ququplay/jquery-mobile-flat-ui-theme/master/demo/index.html There are likely some issues. My time if very limited lately so if you find something which doesn't work right please consider fixing it contributing back.

Jquery mobile 1.4 now supports it?

[edasque]

@mkuklis , is the work for 1.4.x complete at this point? Is this still being maintained?

@edasque Since there's been little activity and author seems to have moved on to premium themes, I've been working on my own fork of this theme for a while now.

Fully working with jQM 1.4.5, a few design tweaks, SVG icons instead of PNG (much better looking on high-res devices) and a new spinner icon.

@tlkh awesome, I'll take a look! Thank you

[mkuklis]

@edasque we focused our time on a new premium theme but we hope to come back and refresh this one at some point in the future. @tlkh it's nice to see your progress. Nice job!

[edasque]

@mkuklis understood. I just wouldn't buy a jQuery mobile theme without being able to test it first.

[tlkh]

@mkuklis thanks for laying all the ground work for this! Anticipating your future work indeed.

[mkuklis]

@edasque I agree I wouldn't either. If you go to our store http://store.ququplay.com there is a preview of the theme. @tlkh I'm glad you are taking it further. Cheers!
