Welcome to YUI Weekly, the weekly roundup of news and announcements from the YUI team and community. If you have any interesting demos or links you’d like to share, feel free to leave a comment below.

• Hot of the release of last week's YUI 3.12.0 GA, this week saw the release of YUI 3.13.0 Beta 1. As noted in the announcement, the primary focus of this release is to provide a build for developers to test a new content editable feature in Editor. Also included in this release are updates to DataTable, History, ScrollInfo, and Widget. To see all the specific changes, check out the YUI 3.13.0 Beta 1 Change History Rollup. Happy testing!

• At this week’s Open Roundtable, discussion topics included YUI 3.13.0 Beta 1, an inline Editor demo, discussion about upcoming Widget and Button updates, and YUIConf. You can find a video of that Hangout here.

• Just a friendly reminder, a few weeks ago the project announced plans to migrate from the YUI Forums to yui-support. Please subscribe to the new group if you haven't already, and begin posting any support questions there instead of the forum. Thanks!

• Pull request activity this week included the addition of HTML support for Button labels, ContentEditable plugin to Editor, French translation to datatable-paginator, and more.

• This week’s Gallery build included: fast-ui, itsadatetimepicker, itsaeditorrenderpromise, itsanodepromise, itsaselectlist, pathogen-encoder, rangyinputs, rocket, sm-map, y3d, and y3d-loader.

• Additions to the Gallery this week include:

  • Pathogen Encoder is "a module that monkey-patches YUI Loader to generate pathogen-encoded combo urls."
  • FastUi is "a YUI3 module that is focused on building UIs fast, inspired from frameworks like GWT and JSF2, focused on a composition model that is easily described in an easy to understand XML."
  • rangyinputs is "a port of jQuery rangyinputs."
  • SmugMug Map is "an ordered map data structure with an interface and behavior similar to (but not exactly the same as) ECMAScript 6 Maps."

• Coming soon to the Gallery is SmugMug IndexedMap, "An ordered, indexed hash map data structure. Like Map and Array got together and had a beautiful baby."
