AutoComplete Change History
===========================
3.4.0
-----
* Added the ability to use a `<select>` node as a result source.
* Function sources may now be either asynchronous or synchronous. Returning
an array of results from a function source will cause it to be treated as
synchronous (same as in 3.3.0). For async operation, don't return anything,
and pass an array of results to the provided callback function when the
results become available. [Ticket #2529974]
* Added a `sourceType` attribute to `AutoCompleteBase`, which may be used to
force a specific source type, overriding the automatic source type
detection. [Ticket #2529974]
* The `scrollIntoView` config option is now much smarter. It will only scroll
if the selected result isn't fully visible. If the result is already
entirely within the visible area of the viewport, no scrolling will occur.
* A pre-existing `listNode` may now be specified at initialization time.
* Added `subWordMatch` filters and highlighters. [Contributed by Tobias
Schultze]
* The `this` object now refers to the current AutoComplete instance instead of
the window in list locators, text locators, filters, formatters,
highlighters, and requestTemplate functions.
* Added an `originEvent` property to the event facade of `select` events. It
contains an event facade of the DOM event that triggered the selection if
the selection was triggered by a DOM event.
* Small performance improvement for filters and highlighters operating on
empty query strings. [Ticket #2529949]
* Result list alignment is now updated both when results change and when
the window is resized instead of only when the list becomes visible. This
makes right-aligned lists with dynamic widths less awkward.
* Fixed a bug that prevented CSS-based z-index values from taking effect on
the AutoComplete list and required the z-index to be set via JS. The
`.yui3-aclist` class now provides a default z-index of 1, and this can be
overridden with custom CSS. Specifying a `zIndex` attribute value via JS
no longer has any effect.
* Fixed a bug that caused the IE6 iframe shim under the AutoComplete list to
be sized incorrectly the first time the list was displayed.
* Fixed a bug in which the `requestTemplate` would sometimes be used as the
query instead of being appended to the source URL. This affected XHR and
JSONP sources that used both a `{query}` placeholder in the source string
and a custom `requestTemplate` value. [Ticket #2529895]
* Fixed a bug that caused the `requestTemplate` function to be called twice
for an XHR request instead of just once.
* Fixed a bug in which JSONP, XHR, and YQL requests were cached solely based
on the query rather than on the complete request. This could result in
cache collisions when two requests with the same query but different
parameters (provided by a requestTemplate) were made. [Ticket #2530410]
* Fixed a bug that caused the `&` character to be treated as an up arrow
key in Firefox. [Ticket #2530455]
* Removed the "beta" label. Hooray!
3.3.0
-----
* Initial release.
