jQuery 1.2: jQuery.extend(”Awesome”)

This is a massive new release of jQuery that’s been a long time in the making – and it’s ready for your consumption!

We’ve put the full jQuery 1.2 release notes on a page of it’s own, since there’s so much to dig through. REMEMBER, features were removed in 1.2, so please be sure to read the notes on how to upgrade before doing so.

Recently I have become a fan of jQuery. It allows me to add some  neat functionality into web sites. A week ago I downloaded the 1.1.4 version which promised some pretty impressive performance improvements over 1.1.3 but I had not gotten around to testing it out. Now I see that the 1.2 version has been released! I am real confused about their version numbering scheme. The 1.1.4 version looked like a small change based on its version number but a pretty big change code wise. Version 1.2 is a big code change since it deprecates a variety of functions. I guess I will try the 1.1.4 version first. That is what the release notes recommends. Whew!
