Is Concrete5 development at a halt? No new releases since Nov 2010?

Permalink
Just wondering whether it's safe to invest time in learning Concrete5, there seems to have been no new releases for more than half a year?
Also why is concrete5 using such an old version of jquery by default?

The next version is going to be released in august. There is developement being done on the dev branch on github, just no stable releases yet.

Cool, is there a public roadmap over the new features for the next version somewhere? Is jquery gonna get updated? Could I upgrade to the latest version of jquery in the current version of concrete5?

A new version will be released early august.
You should play with the beta copy in the developers section.
I'm not sure that jquery update is on our list, i'd love to see a discussion start in the beta are on if/why it should be and which stable version to use.

I would like to remind that in 2 (two) days we have the 1st of September 2011... any signs of a new version ?
An answer to JohnTheFish about how to be able to load jQuery and jQueryUI in a more flexible way would also be highly appreciated !

uhh go get 5.4.2 its been out since august 4th.

here's a good place to watch:
http://www.concrete5.org/about/blog/core-releases/...

a point release should be out to 5.4.2 shortly to catch a few small bugs that slid thru.

apologies for making you wait this year, we just kept getting sucked into one big project after another and frankly kinda lost track of the fact that everyone wasn't using the code in Beta. ;) Certainly development has not been at a halt.

A new C5 version, 5.4.2, was released on 4 August. Unfortunately the jQuery ideas didn't make it. Andrew has explained that the solution for the different declarations of dialog were not yet tested thoroughly enough. See http://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/customizing_c5/jquery-ui-...
Whilst this doesn't wholly precludehttp://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/customizing_c5/fallback-f... for jQuery itself, the issues are interrelated when it comes to including different versions of UI.

I actually just checked in the latest jQuery to github this morning, to fix an unrelated bug (IE 9 sort order.)

I suspect you have already seen it, I made a comment about a more flexible way of including jQuery and UI theme in
