RichFaces 4 is one more milestone closer to GA. This week JBoss and Exadel teams have released RichFaces 4 Milestone 2. This milestone includes:
- New components: accordion, autocomplete, inplaceInput, and inputNumberSlider
- Large scale stabilization to our core and CDK modules.
- The RichFaces Showcase Demo now includes all the components
- Support for cloud deployment is coming
For more details, head to this post by Jay Balunas. There is more information on Milestone 3 plans as well as final release.
If your team considering RichFaces 4, to get them up to speed faster, consider on-site RichFaces training or 1-day RichFaces 3 to 4 workshop.
Two other RichFaces events coming up:

Thanks for that update.
Do you know when the cloud support will be available?
Have you guys considered a component which is a drop down with tree structure. Say for example, there could be a status drop down, with sub-statuses. That kind of component would be awesome!
Thanks.

Cloud support will definitely be there when GA is out (maybe even earlier).
Add the component to RichFaces Jira (https://jira.jboss.org/browse/RF). It won’t be in 4.0, but could be added to future 4.x version. There is also going to be a much improved CDK (Component Development Kit). You could try creating such component yourself.
