We are happy to share the highlights of Release Candidate 13 of UI5 Web Components with you.

Release Candidate 13 is the first version without support for Internet Explorer.
However, if you still need IE support we offer the @ui5/webcomponents-ie11 package, that still could be used on your own responsibility, because we will no longer develop and support it.
Those of you who don’t need IE support will benefit from reduced size of the ES6 bundle by 4KB (2KB gzipped).

You are welcome to get a taste on our release candidate, we are looking forward to receiving your feedback!

Sincerely
UI5 Web Components Team
 
 

RELEASE CANDIDATE 13


 

New Components


With the RC.13 version of UI5 Web Components, we extended our set of components with one brand new component - StepInput.


The StepInput allows the user to change the input values in predefined increments (steps).
It consists of an input field and buttons with icons to increase/decrease the value.
The user can change the value of the component by pressing the using buttons, typing a number directly, using the keyboard up/down and page up/down keys, or by using the mouse scroll wheel.


The component is especially useful when you need to:

  • adjust amounts, quantities, or other values quickly.

  • adjust values with a specific step.

What is coming around the corner?


In the previous release we mentioned about our efforts to reuse the UI5 Web Components in OpenUI5, the so called "Retrofit" of UI5 Web Components. For that, we are building UI5 control adapters that will internally render UI5 Web Components. We will continue working on this topic with highest priority. Another major topic is to further improve the components Keyboard Handling on our way to provide high enterprise quality.
