JQuery



2nd Birthday of JQuery


John Resig, the creator and lead developer of the jQuery JavaScript library, looks back when JQuery was born:

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.

Surely, today his baby is growing up fast. Congrats John!

To celebrate 2nd birthday of this great framework, the team has a new release, 1.2.2. Primarily, this has been a bug fix and optimization release. They landed over 120 bug fixes with more than 1157 tests in it. Some 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 handler

The latest release can be downloaded here.
