We are using fast changing libraries in Piwik. We should try to upgrade the libraries as often as possible, every few months, so we stay in line with the APIs and latest features.
A new release of jQuery is out — 1.2.6. 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.
As we are using dimensions and jquery, we definitely should upgrade to this new version.
