Typically X.Y.Z versioning follows the following: X = Major release (total rewrite, huge codebase changes, usually not backwards compatible) Y = Minor releases, some isolated backwards compatibility issues, new features release Z = Bug fix releases or "point releases". Typically no backwards compatibility issues

No fluff, no mess... just right > into the JS goodness :). Exactly. I hate books that nuts around talking about "The History of JavaScript" and "this is how you use document.write". I'm a programmer, I want code :-) (Especially code that is still relevant.) Glad you're enjoying it, though! > Now back to the original topic lol.. glad to hear 1.1.3 will be out > soon.

Yeah, things are less than ideal right now - however I really want to squeeze some time in and get the last changes into this release. There's speed improvements across the board (faster selectors and faster animations) along with a bunch of bug fixes. Not too shabby for a point release. I just have to stomp some final bugs then we can move ahead and release the alpha. (Just need to find a moment to clear my head.) --John
