jQuery Release 1.2.6: Performance Improvements and Dimensions Plugin Added to Core

A new release of jQuery is out -- 1.2.6, skipping directly from 1.2.3. Most noteworthy are the performance improvements (you can check out the detailed performance data via this Google Spreadsheet). The headlines on improvements:

  • Event handling: 103%
  • CSS selectors: 13%
  • .offset: 21%
  • .css: 25%

Lots of other fixes, but the most important, IMHO, is the inclusion of Brandon Aaron's Dimension's plugin -- cross browser support for find element dimensions, offsets and positioning -- in the jQuery core. Check out the release notes here.
