What’s new here?

    • Sizzle: A sizzlin’ hot CSS selector engine.
    • Live Events: Event delegation with a jQuery twist.
    • jQuery Event Overhaul: Completely rewired to simplify event handling.
    • HTML Injection Rewrite: Lightning-fast HTML appending.
    • Offset Rewrite: Super-quick position calculation.
    • No More Browser Sniffing: Using feature detection to help jQuery last for many more years to come
    • .hide() and .show() have been rewritten to become much faster. The frequently-used methods are now almost 2.5x faster.
    • Default animations have been smoothed. Traditionally show/hide and slideUp/slideDown have only animated width, height, and/or opacity. We’ve added in margin and padding as well to provide a smoother animation. More information: show, hide, toggle, slideDown, slideUp, slideToggle
    • and many, more. You can read full release post here

    Long story short: we have a better library with a better than ever selector engine. We can now wait and wait for jQuery UI 1.6 final (now is on rc4) and we are all set :D
    Also, you can find a new api documentation for jQuery 1.3.

    I’m working on two brand new WordPress themes. Of course, will be completely FREE for download and FREE for use (personal or commercial or whatever you want).

    When?

    Frankly… I really don’t know. I have a LOT of things to do and a day has only 24 hours :( I hope in a week or so. Anyhow, by the end of January, both themes will be released ;)

    ]]>     http://dev.iamntz.com/145/more-wordpress-free-themes/feed 1     Two short (and great!) news http://dev.iamntz.com/141/two-short-and-great-news http://dev.iamntz.com/141/two-short-and-great-news#comments Mon, 05 Jan 2009 22:46:12 +0000 Staicu IonuČ›-Bogdan http://dev.iamntz.com/?p=141 Continue reading →]]> 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 :P

    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 :D

    Later edit: jQuery 1.3 b2 on official blog.

It’s beta, but still!

    • A brand new selector engine
    • DOM manipulation engine has been almost rewritten
    • Event Namespace rewritten.
    • And more

    Go claim your copy and start testing!

    Also, the best IM client from the ice age until now – pidgin – has a new improved version 2.5.3.
