Another great job! Thanks for this update. We really need these changes as weâ€™re about to do some updates.

Just wanted to quickly say that I am enjoying jquery quite a lot â€“ FINALLY something simple and very easy to use, compared to some of the other stuff. I mean, RAILS is pretty cool too (along with Ruby) but I think I am really (or would be happy) to ditch some of the others for Jquery instead. Good job. I’d like to go through the posts here and track the history of this.

@Michael: Wow, interesting perspective. Not sure where all of that sarcasm comes from but its certainly not representative of anyone associated with the jQuery project.

The development team is really doing some great work and v1.1 will be a very big step forward in easing the development of RIAs based on DOM, Javascript and AJAX.

In terms of backwards compatibility, all deprecated methods are being documented properly and as John mentioned, there will be a compatibility plugin to help transition existing applications to jQuery v1.1.

That’s what you get for messin’ with Devo!!
This just in…. each release will be incompatible with just about everything, but wait, we’re sure that you’ll find the features very worthwhile, well… at least for a little while until we come up with something else.

Oh yeah… one more thing… JQuery rulez and everything else sucks….

Thanks Dion, but I think the term ‘a port of the client side’ might be a little misleading. AjaxCFC expands the client side to include automatic serialization, logging, error trapping, security, and combines it with server side code to seamlessly interact with server side components.

Just FYI – the sole purpose of this release isn’t to break backwards compatibility, there’s a ton of great features that we’re introducing, that we’re really excited about; including some massive speed improvements that blow all other libraries out of the water. We’ll have more information about this when the alpha release of 1.1 comes out (Jan 7th).
