typeahead.js v0.10.0 Release Notes
Release Date: 2014-02-02 // about 10 years ago-
Introducting Bloodhound
🚀 This release was almost a complete rewrite of typeahead.js and will hopefully 🚀 lay the foundation for the 1.0.0 release. It's impossible to enumerate all of 🛠 the issues that were fixed. If you want to get an idea of what issues 0.10.0 resolved, take a look at the closed issues in the [0.10.0 milestone].
The most important change in 0.10.0 is that typeahead.js was broken up into 2 individual components: Bloodhound and jQuery#typeahead. Bloodhound is an 🔋 feature-rich suggestion engine. jQuery#typeahead is a jQuery plugin that turns input controls into typeaheads.
👍 It's impossible to write a typeahead library that supports every use-case out of the box – that was the main motivation behind decomposing typeahead.js. Previously, some prospective typeahead.js users were unable to use the library 💻 because either the suggestion engine or the typeahead UI did not meet their requirements. In those cases, they were either forced to fork typeahead.js and 👉 make the necessary modifications or they had to give up on using typeahead.js entirely. Now they have the option of swapping out the component that doesn't work for them with a custom implementation.
