kenwheeler/slick

This system is the Slick Carousel library, a JavaScript slider component that relies on jQuery for its core functionality. It provides image and content sliding capabilities with features such as autoplay controls, customizable theming via Sass, and improved accessibility through ARIA roles. The project manages its own build process using Dart Sass and esbuild, while explicitly excluding bundled jQuery to allow consumers to manage their own dependencies.

The \slick.css\ file containing the core slider styles (arrows, dots, loading states) and the \style.css\ file used for the demo page layout have been deleted from the project. Users relying on these specific files for styling will need to update their asset references or include alternative stylesheets.

css · high confidence

The \js/scripts.js\ configuration file and the \js/slick.js\ and \js/slick.min.js\ library source files have been deleted from the project. This removes the client-side implementation of the Slick slider (version 1.0) and its associated demo initialization scripts, meaning any pages relying on these specific files for slider functionality will no longer have the library available.

js · high confidence

Slick Carousel has been updated to version 2.0, which now requires jQuery 1.7 or higher and is explicitly compatible with jQuery 4. The project has migrated its build process from Compass to Dart Sass for compiling SCSS stylesheets and uses esbuild for JavaScript minification. Additionally, the library's license has been standardized to MIT, and the repository structure has been cleaned up with new \.gitignore\ and \.prettierignore\ files, while the legacy \slick.js\ source file has been removed in favor of the new build artifacts.

(repo-wide) · high confidence

The Slick carousel library has been updated to version 2.0.0, introducing a separated theming system with dedicated source files (Sass, Less, and compiled CSS) for arrows and dots, allowing for easier customization of the visual style. The update also significantly improves accessibility by implementing ARIA roles (such as tabpanel and tablist) and attributes (like aria-selected) for better screen reader support, and adds new autoplay control options including pauseOnFocus and pauseOnDotsHover.

slick · high confidence

Slick Carousel has been updated to version 2.0.0. The package now declares jQuery (version 3.7.1 in the lockfile) as a peer dependency with a minimum requirement of 1.8.0, rather than bundling it directly, allowing consumers to manage their own jQuery version.
