jQuery 1.2.2 Released
Date : 2008 01 14 Category : Tech & Development
AjaxianjQuery has a new release, 1.2.2, which is a bug fix release and more. This release comes on the 2nd birthday of jQuery:
I remember doing the first release at BarCamp NYC (combined with the mention of two other projects of mine that fizzled: Feed Pile and Idea Shrub). While I had released a bunch of open source code in the past, this was the first one that I put some serious effort into getting publicity. Luckily it made it onto del.icio.us/popular, digg - and the rest is history.
Amusingly, the entire chain of popularity was due to the fact that I made a troll-y comment on a Prototype blog post (when they announced their new selector feature) and it was discovered and re-blogged by Ben Nolan (creator of the Behaviour library for Prototype). From there it hit the Rails community and was launched onto del.icio.us, digg, etc.
The major changes are:
300% Speed Improvements to $(DOMElement) .ready() Overhaul: Uses Diego Perini’s non-document.write() technique, now wait for CSS to be ready, can now watch for the document ready event via the traditional .bind() .bind(”mouseenter”) / .bind(”mouseleave”) Complex :not() Accepts Headers Event API: jQuery.event.special setup teardown handlerYou can download the latest release (minified).
