As the project moves toward a beta and the eventual 1.0 we'll be focusing on pulling in bug fixes and feature pull requests will be recorded here for future consideration/inclusion.

Format

• Feature identification - github user handle - description

Swipeup and Swipedown events

• Swipeup and Swipedown - VTWoods

icon (css sprites)

• telephone icon for css sprites - phillpafford

buttons

• button-free style for toolbars - toddparker
• button styled as collapsible - timtucker

controlGroup

• refresh control groups - stomlinson - refresh allows for alteration with js while maintaining the styling
• header and footer support - dcousineau - support for control groups in the headers and footers.

core

• $.mobile.autoInitialize - toreym - defer page initialization until invoked

• $.mobile.loadingMessage - phillpafford - Ability to change Loading Message programmably

• Add version check and exception for jQuery version - umbrae

form elements (general)

• Consider creating a more compact form style like the iOS preferences panel. Many people have tried to add form elements to listviews to accomplish this effect but that causes a lot of issue because lists are only intended for link list navigation and can really cause formatting and click/tap issues with form elements.

• Input onchange ajax submission - kurteknikk

• Need for html text as value in form - kurteknikk

navbar

• [ Add submenu for data-role="navbar"] (https://github.com/jquery/jquery-mobile/issues/1582) -Sumeruter
• [ Add support for "pageable" navbar buttons/links ] (https://github.com/jquery/jquery-mobile/issues/1677) - begmandev

listview

• data-role=subpage - medovob - allow arbitrary nested content in list views

• animations - grandecomplex - add animations to listviews

• Touch-drag to re-order lists - dlaidlaw

• Nested lists behave like accordions - stoneface

• Expandable tree-like style for nested lists - mojoaxel - for displaying nested lists not on sub pages, but on one single page by dropping down/inserting the sub elements below the parent list element

• aside element in place of class - mohearn - asides are denoted by the class ul-li-aside where as use of the new element introduced in html5 would be nice.

• bubble counts and other formatting in nested lists - mymajors-com - seemed like one of the best uses for the bubble counts to show how many items would appear next in each section of a nested list.

navigation

• $.mobile.pushStateNavigate - yappo - allow the user to toggle pushstate navigation support

• Parameters for pages - tiegs

• Add multiple pages at once - morinel

• Customized ajax calls - filip26

• Loading and error functions - kurteknikk ** also - martinkou

• navigating within iframes workaround - scottbw

• Page cache management - metalculus84

• Transition override by Web Server - tenor

select

• add filter to long selects - naton - This may be a performance issue, but is a good idea

• horizontal alignment for multiple select menus - psmiley - Perhaps look at extending the controlgroup mechanism for this

slider

• input range step support - a2ikm - slider step-wise movement
• step values < 1 - mcculloughsean
• add min/max fill - toddparker

text input

• controlgroup styling of vertically grouped text inputs - codeconsole - like the iOS site login overlay

labels

• data-label="label for element" (the ability to generate labels on the fly instead of hard coding them) Use case: I use placeholders instead of labels on smaller devices and labels on larger devices

theme system
