 In celebration of jQuery’s 4th birthday, the jQuery team is pleased to release the latest major release of the jQuery JavaScript library - jQuery 1.4. A lot of coding, testing, and documenting has gone into this release.
jQuery is a cross-browser JavaScript library designed to simplify the client-side scripting of HTML. jQuery is free, open source software, dual-licensed under the MIT License and the GNU General Public License, Version 2. jQuery's syntax is designed to make it easier to navigate a document, select DOM elements, create animations, handle events, and develop Ajax applications. jQuery also provides capabilities for developers to create plugins on top of the JavaScript library. Using these facilities, developers are able to create abstractions for low-level interaction and animation, advanced effects and high-level, theme-able widgets. This contributes to the creation of powerful and dynamic web pages.
As usual, the developers provide two copies of jQuery, one minified (they now use the Google Closure Compiler as the default minifier) and one uncompressed (for debugging or reading). Additionally, Google has provided a copy of jQuery hosted on their servers (http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js). This copy of jQuery is automatically minified and gzipped – and served from Google’s fast edge cache servers. You can feel free to include the above URL directly into your site and you will get the full performance benefits of a quickly-loading jQuery.
