jCarouselLite version 1.1 released !

It has been quite a while since I worked on updating the jCarouselLite project. Meanwhile, the community has shown its love by actively contributing features and defect fixes. It is always a pleasant experience to see such active participation by the community, but there is also a challenge.

Many of the mods were spread around different websites, GitHub forks, Stack Overflow answers and comments. Consequently, it was not easy for a new user to start using it. So, I thought I should give some order to this by collecting them all back into the original project and that is exactly what I have done here… and much more…

Heads up! The plugin still weighs only 2 KB.

Given below is a list of items that has changed, leading to the release of version 1.1. Visit the project page and change log for more details.

  • Added a Github project. Feel free to raise any new defects or feature requests here
  • Updated to support jquery 1.11.x version
  • Fixed a few defects
    • We were skipping items in a particular rare combination of circular:true mode and scroll/visible/start options. Fixed
    • We were jumping to the top of the page when the navigation buttons are disabled in circular:false mode. Fixed
    • We were unintentionally styling grand-children of the main UL and LI. Now it will style only the top level UL and LI. Fixed
    • In circular:false mode, in a particular combination of total/visible/scroll options, we were unable to navigate to the last few items. Fixed
    • In auto-scroll mode, the Interval was not getting reset when next/prev navigation button was clicked. Fixed
    • In circular:false mode, with start:0, the prev button was not getting disabled. Fixed
    • Fixed an issue with some minification libraries
  • Changes to the project site
    • Introduced a Styling page to help you understand the default styling and ways in which you can apply custom styling to your carousel
    • Revamped the Demo page to make it cleaner and more beautiful. It is easier to view-source now than it was before
    • Updated the styling in Demo page to reflect the custom styling in Styling page
  • Added default options globally. This way you can set the default options using $.fn.jCarouselLite.options once instead of passing them for every carousel you create
  • Removed the separate width() and height() functions and replaced with jQuery.outerWidth(boolean)

At present, I am working on a few new features to the plugin and a few more additions to the project site. It will make this plugin even more useful and flexible. You can expect a 1.2 release for these enhancements in the next couple of weeks. Thanks again everyone for showing extraordinary interest in this simple and light weight carousel.
