YUI Release 2.5.1 README Digest

This document is a summary of the 2.5.1 update information that has been added to the respective

README files included within each component folder.  Please refer the README files for the

components you are using for a full change history of each component.

Animation

- No changes

Button

- No changes

Calendar

- Bug Fixes

- Fixed bug with mindate, maxdate being applied incorrectly if

  set to a day on which time change took place (DST, E.U Summertime)

  and the day is not the first day of the week.

- Fixed DateMath.getWeekNumber implementation to return correct

  week numbers. The older implementation would return Week 0 for

  certain weeks (e.g. the week starting Sun Dec 28th 2008)

  To suppor the fix, DateMath.getWeekNumber has a signature

  change in 2.5.1 and can now support U.S Week calculations based

  on Jan 1st identifying the first week of the year, as well as

  ISO8601 week calculations based on Jan 4th identifying the first

  week of the year

  The arguments which the method expected prior to 2.5.1 were not

  being used in calculating the week number. The new signature is:

  DateMath.getWeekNumber(Date dt, Number firstDayOfWeek, Number janDate)

  Where:

 dt is the date for which week number is required

    firstDayOfWeek is the day index identifying the first

    day of the week. Default is 0 (Sunday).

    janDate is the date in the first week of January, which

    identifies the first week of the year.

    Default is YAHOO.widget.DateMath.WEEK_ONE_JAN_DATE (1)

  NOTE: Calendar instances themselves do not currently expose a

  configuration property to change the week numbering system

  used. A "janDate" value is not passed to the getWeekNumber

  method, when used by Calendar, resulting in it using the default value.

  Therefore, ISO8601 week numbering can be generated for Calendars

  by setting the value of YAHOO.widget.DateMath.WEEK_ONE_JAN_DATE

  to 4.

Charts

- No changes

Color Picker

- No changes

Connection

- No changes

Container

- Bug Fixes

- Module.setBody, setHeader and setFooter methods now accept

  DocumentFragments. This feature was implicitly available

  in versions prior to 2.5.0 and is now officially supported.

- Enhancements

- Optimized addition of Modality focus handlers on masked

  elements (which are used to enforce modality) and added

  ability to disable feature, to avoid timeout script errors

  in IE if your page contains a very large number of focusable

  elements.

  Additionally changes to Event in 2.5.1 should allow

  for increased scalability, when using Modal panels containing

  large numbers of focusable elements on the page.

  Added a YAHOO.widget.Panel.FOCUSABLE property, defining

  the set of elements which should have focus handlers applied

  when covered by the Modal mask.

  If you wish to disable the addition of focus handlers to all

  focusable elements on the page when a Modal Panel is displayed,

  the property can be set to an empty array:

        YAHOO.widget.Panel.FOCUSABLE = [];

  NOTE: This will mean that elements under mask may still be

  accessible using the keyboard, however the mask will still

  prevent mouse access to elements.
