What does it mean when a component is released as a beta?
The YUI team designates components as beta () during their initial release. This allows us to get feedback from the community about the component and its API before we lock down that API from major changes. If a component is marked as beta, that means we’re expecting to make modifications to the API that may not be backward-compatible. If you include a beta component in your project, you may find that, with a future YUI release, you’ll need to make changes in your implementation as it relates to that component.
