jQuery 1.2.2 Released

The jQuery team released jQuery 1.2.2 which has some pretty great features and a huge performance increase. This release comes on the 2nd birthday of jQuery.

jQuery is a fast, concise, JavaScript Library that simplifies how you traverse HTML documents, handle events, perform animations, and add Ajax interactions to your web pages.

jQuery 1.2.2 includes the following improvements:

• 300% Speed Improvements to $(DOMElement)
• .ready() Overhaul: Uses Diego Perini’s non-document.write() technique, now wait for CSS to be ready, can now watch for the document ready event via the traditional .bind()
• .bind(”mouseenter”) / .bind(”mouseleave”)
• Complex :not()
• Accepts Headers
• Event API: jQuery.event.special setup teardown handler
