First of all, Happy New Year guys!

The first great news (and is kinda old, is from the last year ) is about jQuery UI 1.6. We have a new RC4 for testing and reporting bugs with a brand new theme roller. Whats this mean? Well.. Not too much if you are not using jQuery

The second great news (and is related somehow with first one) is that jQuery 1.3 is in beta 2, according to John. Is related with first news because final UI will work only with jQuery 1.3 so if you test, make sure you test both. If you don’t want to test jQuery 1.3 I think you don’t know what you missing: brand new selector engine, large portion of code was rewritten, and so on. Long story short: HUGE performance improvement.

Let’s hope the final version of both jQuery and UI will be released soon and bug free

Later edit: jQuery 1.3 b2 on official blog.
