jQuery 1.2 Release is "Massive"

John Resig, the creator and lead developer of the jQuery JavaScript
library has announced the release of jQuery 1.2, calling it a
"massive new release ... that's been a long time in the making."
Version 1.1 was released last January. The jQuery library is a
collection of UI tools for web app development that includes
simplified DOM traversal, creating animation, event handling, and
so on. jQuery's dot notation "chainability" allows developers to
write very concise code. jQuery 1.2 includes several new features.
Additionally several inefficient or confusing features from 1.1
were dropped from the latest release, as was XPath selector support.
Any projects that require these 1.1 features can be augmented with
the jQuery 1.1 Compatibility Plugin and the XPath Selector Plugin.
The compressed jQuery 1.2 library is 14 kb. The uncompressed version
is 77 kb. More Information See also Getting Started with jQuery: http://www.ddj.com/java/201000935
