jQuery UI 1.13.2 Released with Security Fixes and Updated Widgets

jQuery UI 1.13.2 is now available as the second patch release in the 1.13 series. It includes a security fix for the Checkboxradio widget, several localization updates for the Datepicker, and various community‑reported bug fixes. The bundled jQuery UI files are now shipped within the npm package, which is important for CDNs that rely on it as a true source.

The official notice reminds users that jQuery UI is in maintenance mode: the team will ensure compatibility with newer jQuery versions and address security issues, but no new major features are planned. Important regressions from 1.12.1 will be addressed when possible, while older long‑standing bugs may remain unresolved. This does not affect the actively maintained jQuery Core.
