Progress Releases Kendo UI
October 15, 2018

Progress released Progress Kendo UI, tooling for building modern Web UI.

Kendo UI is a commercial JavaScript component toolset with full support for WCAG 2.1 compliance. It also includes major feature updates, new components and new themes.

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 defines how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning and neurological disabilities. Building off of Kendo UI’s previous support for WCAG 2.0 and WAI-ARIA, Progress remains at the forefront for developers who want to enable people with disabilities to access their web apps.

WCAG 2.1 adds 17 success criteria for compliance. Kendo UI tooling now meets all 17 criteria including mobile accessibility, help for individuals with low vision as well as cognitive and learning disabilities. By implementing these standards, Progress helps developers build UI that is accessible out of the box, without the need for writing additional code.

The applications built with components adhering to these guidelines are not only accessible to people with disabilities, but also to users of all kinds of devices and interfaces: desktop browser, voice browser, mobile phone, automobile-based personal computer and more.

In addition to support for WCAG 2.1, the latest Kendo UI R3 2018 release also features updates to the TreeList component, new components including MultiColumnComboBox and an ArcGauge, a new Material Theme for jQuery and Vue, Dialog, Stock and Sparkline Charts for React, and Scheduler and Notification components as well as Chart features for Angular.
