The 4.0 release is ready for early adopters interested in testing it out.
|
||
|
|
You can use the development version, available on GitHub, by getting the
|
||
|
|
source code available in the <code>select2-ng</code> branch. The source
|
||
|
|
code can be
|
||
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/ivaynberg/select2/archive/select2-ng.zip">
|
||
|
|
downloaded as a <code>zip</code> archive
|
||
|
|
</a> as well.

<h1>Select2 4.0.0</h1>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
The 4.0 release of Select2 is the result of three years of working on the
|
||
|
|
code base and watching where it needs to go. At the core, it is a full
|
||
|
|
rewrite that addresses many of the extensibility and usability problems
|
||
|
|
that could not be addressed in previous versions.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
This release contains many breaking changes, but easy-upgrade pathes have
|
||
|
|
been created as well as helper modules that will allow for backwards
|
||
|
|
compatibility to be maintained with past versions of Select2. Upgrading
|
||
|
|
<em>will</em> require you to read the release notes carefully, but the
|
||
|
|
migration path should be relatively straightforward. You can find more
|
||
|
|
information on the modules that have been created to make upgrading easier
|
||
|
|
by <a href="compat.html">looking at the compatibility guide</a> for older
|
||
|
|
Select2 versions.

Below is an in-depth review of what is new in Select2, as well as some of
|
||
|
|
the major changes that have been made.

<h2>Plugins</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Select2 now provides interfaces that allow for it to be easily extended,
|
||
|
|
allowing for anyone to create a plugin that changes the way Select2 works.
|
||
|
|
This is the result of Select2 being broken into four distinct sections,
|
||
|
|
each of which can be extended and used together to create your unique
|
||
|
|
Select2.
