Despite the risk of joining in the echo chamber that I’m sure will start up very soon, I just wanted to write a little observation.
jQuery 1.4 has been released. Kinda.
It’s a little baffling to me, considering the first release candidate was only announced one day ago, yet the dedicated jQuery 1.4 website proudly states “jQuery 1.4 has been released!”, but alas, there is no link. The nightly build still reads “1.4a2-pre”, so I guess it’s up to me.
It’s a tad overdue. The roadmap slated it for a November 2009 release, and it’s been promised for a while now, but it’s here now anyway. I was looking at a jQuery cheat sheet which contains the new functions introduced in 1.4, and two of them jumped out at me: nextUntil() and prevUntil. They seem to be very similar to something I’ve seen before. Kinda. Maybe I’m just seeing things.
