Publish 1.11 pre-releases

[jzaefferer]

At the last UI meeting we discussed publishing the 1.11.0-beta.1 pre-release on jqueryui.com/download, both to increase the odds of users testing the beta (by making it easier to create a custom build as for stable releases) and to test DB before the final release.

Rafael tried this after the meeting and deployed on stage. There were two problems I found: The 1.11 release was listed as "Legacy" (should beta "Pre-release") and Selectmenu wasn't listed as a component.

The pre-release quick download probably shouldn't be the first link under quick downloads either.

Fixed by dc2d86f. The implementation creates a new attribute pre-release, which when set to true outputs "Pre-release" in the description. There are other alternatives to the way I have implemented it, eg. we could create an attribute description where we define the "Pre-release", "Legacy", or "Stable" strings. Please, just let me know in case you want to change it.

and Selectmenu wasn't listed as a component.

jQuery UI 1.0.0-beta.1 misses ui.selectmenu.jquery.json metafile.

The pre-release quick download probably shouldn't be the first link under quick downloads either.

Which order should it appear? It could be changed by changing the order it appears in config.json.

@rxaviers thanks for the update. I prefer the approach using a separate attribute, as proposed in #211.

Let's do stable, pre-release, legacy.

Ok! But, you mean #210, right? :)

In the lack of internet, I had implemented it offline, and I haven't seen your solution ☺️ I've updated my PR to drop my implementation.

Updated on #211

[jzaefferer]

Yes, #210, correct. I've updated that PR to include the reordering from your's. If that looks good, I'll rebase/squash and land that. We can actually deploy it when releasing rc.1, since we don't have the selectmenu manifest in beta.1.

@jzaefferer it looked good to me

[jzaefferer]

@rxaviers okay, I've squashed and pushed to master. To test on stage I need to npm version patch here, then update package.json in jqueryui.com without tagging, right?
