Looks like another good release, yet more performance improvements and a few useful new features!
Regarding speed testing, maybe it is worth mentioning the PC specification of the machine that performs these tests? For example, mine (Core Duo 1.6Ghz) .extend() 1.2.3 - 63 1.2.6 - 46 .map() 1.2.3 - 2268 1.2.6 - 203 Still a performance improvement, but not as great as the test machine - i.e. the faster the client PC processor, the better the performance improvement (I don't think RAM will have much of an impact as the CPU is doing the work). Perhaps the tests should be done on different spec machines, more so the low end ones (Celeron, Sempron and Intel Atom)? -Sam On Jun 3, 6:46 pm, Rey Bango <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > jQuery v1.2.6 is now official and release notes have been > posted:http://docs.jquery.com/Release:jQuery_1.2.6 > > The biggest changes are improvements in performance, especially event > handling, which is now 103% faster. > > Also, the Dimensions plugin is now part of core.
