- jquery.mobile.core.js no longer creates pages from every page and dialog in the DOM automatically at domready. Instead, pages are created as they are referenced via changePage, which can speed up pageload in multi-page documents, and means local "dialogs" referenced via data-rel="dialog" no longer need a data-role="dialog" attribute when served.
- in changePage, "from" is now allowed to be undefined. This simplifies the logic involved in showing the first page, which never had a "from" page, and previously needed a custom pageChange workaround to accommodate that.
- The pageshow event is no longer used as a callback for returning false and preventing the $.mobile.activePage from being set to the newly shown page. In other words, a page always becomes $.mobile.activePage once its shown now (the only reason this was optional before was because of a dialog restriction that's no longer true)
- the hashchange event logic for showing a particular page is now greatly simplified. It either shows the page referenced in location.hash, or if there's no hash it changes to the first page in the dom. This means every pageshow (including the first one) now uses pageChange internally.
- the hashchange event listener is no longer disabled when ajaxEnabled == false. Doing this before prevented local non-ajax page navigation from working properly. To disable hashchange listening, use $.mobile.urlHistory.listeningEnabled. We might consider defining (or moving) this on the $.mobile hash later as well for easier access.
- The internal var $.mobile.startPage is now $.mobile.firstPage, because it's not necessarily the page you started on, but merely a reference to the first "page" in the dom.
- Back buttons are auto-added to every page after the first one you first visit (this includes generated pages, such as those in a multipage document or nested listviews). Keep in mind that a "back" button does not take the place of a standard "home" link, and when building an app with jQuery Mobile, it's good to make use of both (particularly on deep-linked pages). Fixes#908
- Modified silentScroll() to trigger a "silentscroll" event. This was necessary because programatically scrolling the window does not generate "scroll" events.
- Got rid of the hideAfterDelay() function that was not used.
- Added startShowTimer() and clearShowTimer() functions.
- Added event handlers for "resize" and "silentscroll" events. This causes headers/footers to be positioned properly as "scroll" and "orientationchange" events cause the visual viewport to resize.
Issues this fix causes:
- On some Android platforms, clicking in textfields/textareas trigger a "resize" event. This causes the footer to show up in the minimized visual viewport, right above the keyboard.
The shift away from interal ID attribute usage also allows users to bind page events (pagecreate, pagebeforecreate) to a page div by its ID, which was a frequent cause of confusion when it didn't work as expected in former versions of the framework.
Seemingly unrelated: these commits allow you to specify data-role="dialog" in multipage and single page templates. In multipage templates, the role must be on the page (a link with data-rel alone will not work in multi-page). This addresses issue number 464, but may need further testing for obscure scenarios.
