Yahoo released version 2.5.0 of the Yahoo User Interface Library this morning. As we are used of Yahoo, there are a lot of updates on exsisting components, but this time the release contains a lot of new components also. Six in total!

Cookie Utility: a utility package that supports reading and writing of cookies via JavaScript; Cookie includes the concept of sub-cookies, which provides maximum use of limited cookie space.
Image Cropper:  an API that makes an image croppable with a user interface similar to those implemented in desktop applications.
Layout Manager: eases the development of full-page or element-level multi-pane UIs; each unit within the layout is resizable, collapsible, and removable.
Resize: an API which makes any block-level element resizable either directly or by proxy.
Uploader: the Flash-based file uploader developed for Yahoo! applications like Flickr is now part of YUI.  Its functionality is made accessible via a JavaScript interface; it supports multiple-file upload, access to file metadata, improved performance (versus traditional upload) on fast connections, and progress tracking.
Profiler Viewer: this component is designed to work with the Profiler; it provides a visual display of profiling data.

The following components are no longer in Beta: Color picker, Get utility, JSON utility, ImageLoader utility and the YUI test utility.

Full details on the release, including a rollup of the changelog for all components and a bug/feature manifest, are available in Georgiann Puckett’s update to the YUI developer forum this morning.
