First of all, I would like to apologize to all of you. I will start moderating and answering here in the group and also - cleaning up issues.
As for the issues - I see that a lot is related to ie9, ff4, and jquery 1.5 I can assure my working copy works just fine with those browsers, I hope to push out a version real soon.
As for the reasons for my absence - I had some trouble at my job, I thought of explaining it all to you, but I decided not to bore you all with my problems - the thing is - I haven't done a good job in maintaining the project in the last two months, for which I am terribly sorry and can only promise you - the wait will be worth it.
This is the moment to thank you all for sticking, a BIG thanks goes to a few of the older members who as I see have taken over my functions and started helping others - thank you for your time and effort - it really means a lot to me!

That being said - I will start committing next week. I may have mentioned this in a couple of places, but here it is in one place - the new stuff is:
* a total rewrite
* more control on state (you can pass a lot of attribute together with the data - checked/selected/etc)
* api documentation (naturaldocs)
* separated modules - you will be able to create a custom build with only what you need from jstree
* new demos & step by step guides to setting up a tree (which is a lot easier than the current version) - this is still on paper, but thanks to all the feedback I have a pretty good idea how to do this.
* a lot of improvements under the hood - a lot of cleanup, fixing performance issues, etc
* unit tests - this too is not done yet - I will start writing those when I have a few modules ready - in the long run this will help prevent regressions, etc
* ... and maybe some more stuff which I cannot remember as I am very sleepy right now (its almost 3am here but after seeing Chrazy's post I just had to write)

Well that is about it ... please accept my apologies ... and thank you :)

Kindest regards,
Ivan

Hey Ivan,

Please consider adding array data to the jsTree - beside json, html
and xml (simple hierarchical arrays without optional params).

Any approx. when can we expect it to be released?

Thanks

Thanks for getting back on track.
Any plans on moving the project to github ?

Great to hear this.

Is there any chance you can look at the problem of IE giving an
unresponsive script warning when too many nodes are being processed?
(im using the json plugin)

A possible solution is here :

Hey Ivan,

I am new to this community and jsTree. I have come a long way with
jsTree thanks to your documentation and other users. I posted a couple
questions on here but realize you were away. I basically want to know
if there is a way to grab previous/adjacent/parent nodes within the
"contextmenu" without using this.create(obj) and sending it to a bind?
as I do not want to use this.create (I have my own method of creating
nodes set up with a form).

Thanks in advance. My questions including my code snippets are
available in the discussion list!

Hi,

great news!

I also would support that, since it would make it easier for the
community to contribute with e.g. documentation, examples etc. (via
the pull request mechanism at GitHub, that offers powerful diffs)

Great to hear! i used jstree last time i needed a tree but i found it
hard to use (it's not that i didn't get to work but to add things to a
event and stuff). Have you any idea when the new version is released?
I hope soon because i need a javascript drag/drop tree very soon!

Ivan, thx for all your effort in the jstree!

github would allow more collaborative development. im sure there are
a few of us here that would love to help out - i know i would!

Thanks in advance for the next version Ivan, jstree is a fantastic
plugin, I particularly like the progressive rendering functionality,
it works a treat

I have noticed this issue as well, and while the progressive load
option helps, it has it's own limitations. I have run into this
problem before and it looks like jTree is rendering each node to the
dom separately. For large trees it will create that unresponsive
script error. I have gotten around this by building a terrible html
string and inserting one big chunk of code to the dom instead of lots
of little chunks. This way the dom only has to redo the layout once.
Anywho I hope this is fixed is the next update.

Does anyone know if there will be a new release at any point?

I am finding that there are just too many bugs for me to continue to
use the plugin, but this is by far the best plugin out there.

thanks!

If you use the latest version from the trunk there shouldn't be that
many bugs at all. I've been using it for a long time and it works
great with the latest jQuery. But as Ivan posted, the project is very
much alive.

Today I just committed I few files (!DEV folder) - those are just a few basic functions ... basically the new core - if anyone is interested - you will be able to see how the new core will work (handling state from incoming data, setting and restoring state, etc). It has only HTML data support and only the UI and THEMES plugin partially working, but its functional. The good news is that I am quickly developing the rest (in fact I have almost finished the UI plugin since I committed).

Cheers,
Ivan

First of all, thank you for your great work.
Currently i'm using 1.0rc2 in my application. Do you expect a lot of
effort when upgrading to 1.0?

Migration should not be hard (once 1.0 is done). In the mean time - jstree is now on github: https://github.com/vakata/jstree, there is also a new official download (the stable version from the SVN before migrating to github).

Kindest regards,
Ivan

With jquery 1.6 changes now taking the world by storm, will jstree be pushed further back?
When do you feel a release to be pushed out?

A new download is out ... works around the jquery data underscore bug + a few small fixes (to checkboxes for example).
I am also back on track with 1.0. :)

Hi Antony

jsTree is javascript base application / plugin to display data in a tree structure. 

You cannot expect it have api to connect to oracle. It is something that must be solved on a different level. On a level that creates your html code.

I hope this helped bit.

R.

Hi!

Congratulations for your aplication.
Is it possible to use jstree using oracle database?
I´m looking for any api that could connect with a Oracle database.
