The latest stable release of jQuery UI is 1.5.3. Our goal with 1.6
(announced today) is to have as close as possible, full compatibility with
1.6rc2 (which is quite similar API-wise to 1.5.3). In other words, needed
changes (if any) should be minor.

1.7 on the other hand (what many have gotten to know as 1.6rc3-1.6rc6) had
major breaking changes in many areas. Option and method names changed,
source and resultant markup changed, classnames changed. All the plugins are
now built around a brand new jQuery UI CSS Framework. This is the reasoning
for releasing this as 1.7, rather than 1.6. It will not be drop-in backwards
compatible with 1.5.3 or 1.6, nor does a compatibility plugin look feasible,
but we will provide the information needed to make that transition (however
manual) as smooth as possible.
