[grumble] 1) i've got a philosophical beef with the change in clone()'s behaviour. Calling clone(false) is not functionally the same as calling clone().empty(), as clone().empty() can require an arbitrarily large amount of extra work which will then be discarded by the empty() call. i rather liked the option to deep- or shallow-clone an object (though i admittedly only used deep copying once, preferring shallow clone for most of my use cases to date). 2) i'm at a complete loss to understand why the load/getIfModified() convenience funcs were removed. To save a few bytes in the core lib? If so, those bytes have simply moved into client code (in the form of the more verbose $.ajax() call), possibly multiple times (once per call point). The end result is probably a net enlargement of included JS, IMO. 3) eq()/lt()/gt() are dead. Long live eq()/lt()/gt(). Again, the client-side code doubles from lt(3) to slice(0,3) (5 chars to 10 chars). If i hung out on the developer's list i would probably understand the reasoning behind deprecating eq/lt/gt, but since i don't hang out on that list i'll just grumble about the change. 4) $(...).evalScripts() automatically happens now. Does that mean that if i load the JS code of a script for display (e.g. a "view code" link which load()s the code), that the loaded code is now executed? If so, i think that's evil. If not, ignore this item. [/grumble] :)
