Hey Claudiu, Some things really are missing from the official documentation. You might want to check out the release notes for the new versions which introduce new stuff. - Button.caption was introduced in the 5.5 release notes - framework.openUrl is a new 5.5 feature as well - beginAnimation just like setTimeout and setInterval will basically run the method you set through the interpreter. It can be a string, a binding or just a function. - plugin.max_content_items is a very old attribute that was used when the plugin just held content items. You shouldn't use it anymore and use the contentarea element now.
If you want to check out the latest features which might not be documented yet, have a look into the release notes. There is usually a code sample as well.
