I was just trying out DockedPanel and noticed that the Sailfish Silica Reference documentation hosted at sailfish.org [*] is outdated. As an example, the online documentation lists a property DockedPanel::visible (real), but it's actually called visibleSize in the latest SDK (and in the docs shipped with it).

There are some missing components from the doc too, eg. ProgressCircle and SilicaWebView. Although some components are experimental it is good to include the documentations for them too with a clear warning showing that they are experimental.

Updated Silica API documentation on sailfishos.org to match the SDK https://sailfishos.org/sailfish-silica/index.html

Please also read new guide Common Pitfalls in Sailfish Application Development in https://sailfishos.org/sailfish-silica/sailfish-application-pitfalls.html :)

Can you please provide screenshots of the UI components as part of their respective documentation?

That is a good idea. I'll write a task to our backlog. :)

Those links don't work anymore. Would you care to update them ?

Here are the updated doc links (as of June 2018): Silica: https://sailfishos.org/develop/docs/silica/ and Common Pitfalls: https://sailfishos.org/develop/docs/silica/sailfish-application-pitfalls.html/

SilicaWebView does have API documentation, but for some reason hasn't been updated on sailfishos.org. :/ Thanks for the find. :) ProgressCircle is very experimental and probably will change so I am a bit hesitant about adding the API documentation.

Means ProgressCircle is not stable to use?

For progress indication favor busy indicator or progress bar components instead.
