PrimeNG 1.0.0-beta5 Release

PrimeTek is excited to announce that PrimeNG 1.0.0-beta5 is now available featuring first class support for Angular2 RC1 and over 20 improvements.

Angular2 RC1

Angular2 is out of beta and release candidate has been released along with some breaking changes, we’ve added full support and updated PrimeNG. There is only one breaking change in PrimeNG regarding inline styles. Instead of using style=”width:50px”, use [style]=”{‘width’:’50px’}” due a recent change in Angular2.

NG-Conf Keynote

Last week at NG-Conf, the engineering director of Angular2, Brad Green has briefly mentioned PrimeNG at keynote. Watch the full keynote here;

Native Carousel

Carousel was using a PrimeUI widget depending on jQuery, for beta5, we’ve reimplemented it as a native widget. Our plan is to remove any PrimeUI javascript dependency by 1.0 final. As css is shared across PrimeFaces-PrimeUI-PrimeNG, the css dependency will stay.
