You have to hand it to the jQuery guys, they work really hard with their community.

There have been a few posts recently that relate to the jQuery world:

jQuery 1.0.4 Release

A new 1.0.4 release focused on updates to the Ajax functionality:

• Extensions to $.ajax()
  • Add extra headers to an Ajax request using beforeSend
  • Perform a synchronous Ajax request
  • Sending a JavaScript object using processData
  • Aborting an Ajax request after a specific delay in time
• AJAX module: The public $.ajax API is now used internally
• New global Ajax handler: ajaxSend - called before an Ajax request is sent.
• Extensions to global Ajax handlers: ajaxSend, ajaxSuccess, ajaxError and ajaxComplete get XMLHttpRequest and settings passed as arguments.
• Extensions to event handling: pageX and pageY are available in all browsers now. (IE does not provide native pageX/Y).
• Improved docs: $(String) method has now two separate descriptions, one for selecting elements, one for creating html on-the-fly.
• FX module: Most inline styles added by animations are now removed when the animation is complete, eg. height style when animating height (exception: display styles).
