jQuery UI widgets

Hey everyone.
I guess it's time to put something new on blog, isn't it? Almost a year passed since my last post and now I want to share something technical with you.
Those of you who aren't related to web developing, please step aside :)
As many of those who stayed know, a 1.4 version of jQuery was released recently. So I decided to have a look at what's it all about. Somehow I ended up loading jQuery UI website and found there a couple of new widgets: one for replacing buttons/checkboxes etc. and the other for autocompletion.
I'm developing a new weblication at the moment and decided to try those neat things out. So I opened that UI page again several days later and...the new widgets were gone!!!
I started a research on what's it all about and found another wiki-style webpage from jQuery guys, listing the statuses of many jQuery UI widgets, interactions and utilities development. You can check it out here.
So it looks like the button and autocomplete widgets are still in development. I wonder what happened...I'm sure I saw those things marked as "new widgets" in UI site and I even showed it to my colleague, but why did it go back to development stage?
Anyways...good luck with scripting and have a look at these wonderful tools if you haven't discovered them earlier
