Well, I was greeted pleasantly by my RSS feeds today, it seems that the jQuery User Interface project has officially released.
This is great news, and I have to say (I’ve been using the UI components in beta) that they are brilliantly done.
Actually it’s still beta version (4th) according to their blog:

I’ve used some jquery UI components few months ago and they are working very smoothly since then (e.g. - http://tax.bg/bg/calendar - in bulgarian).
Exciting, he’s here’s hoping they expand the core jQuery widgets to include things like buttons, panels, sliders, and other standard UI metaphors.
I like the hover effect on the bottom buttons. It’s cleverly-done as well.
That was supposed to be “here’s hoping”
I just pooped myself
@Miroslav: nice observation, thanks for the correction.
@Nick, I added <del> and <ins> for you, but thought it’d be funnier if they were unparsed ;)
And Elliot and Ed, just let me say I share your enthusiasm.
jQuery UI looks great; but I’m NOT impressed with it’s performance.
Using Opera 9.27 it’s animations and actions are sluggish and unusable
Nice try thusfar: but it needs to be perfectly cross-browser compatible IMO…just like jQuery is :)

So… This would rock so much with CI’s new JS Abstraction methods. Can’t wait to see it!
