Blog » jQuery 1.3 and the jQuery Foundation

Posted January 14th, 2009 by John Resig

Happy Birthday to jQuery! jQuery is three years old today, after being released way back on January 14th, 2006 at the first BarCampNYC by John Resig.

We have four announcements for you today, we hope you’ll enjoy them!

jQuery 1.3

First, we have an excellent new release of jQuery ready for you to enjoy. The big features of this release are:

  • Sizzle: A sizzlin’ hot CSS selector engine.
  • Live Events: Event delegation with a jQuery twist.
  • jQuery Event Overhaul: Completely rewired to simplify event handling.
  • HTML Injection Rewrite: Lightning-fast HTML appending.
  • Offset Rewrite: Super-quick position calculation.
  • No More Browser Sniffing: Using feature detection to help jQuery last for many more years to come.

The full details of the release can be found in the release notes:
http://docs.jquery.com/Release:jQuery_1.3

We’re currently planning on a follow-up jQuery 1.3.1 release sometime within the next week or two to catch any straggling bugs that might’ve slipped through. If you spot any bugs please be sure to submit them to the bug tracker.

Sizzle

jQuery has a brand new CSS selector engine - nicknamed ‘Sizzle‘. You can read the full details behind it in the jQuery 1.3 Release Notes (including performance numbers).

More importantly, though, we’re taking a big leap with Sizzle: We’re releasing it as a completely standalone project to be collaborated upon by many library creators and developers. We saw an opportunity to give something back to not just the jQuery community but to the JavaScript development community as a whole; and at the same time be able to collaborate with developers of other libraries on a single, unified, selector engine. We feel that there’s too much competition and not enough collaboration occurring and so we put our code out on the line as a good first step towards working together.

As a sign of good faith and willingness to collaborate, we’ve turned over Sizzle to the Dojo Foundation (an excellent non-profit well suited for this project, not to be confused with the Dojo Toolkit). We wanted a common meeting ground where all developers would be able to work together and under which there would be a clear long-term copyright holder.

Our request for collaboration has already seen an amazing resopnse: Developers from Prototype, Dojo, Yahoo UI, MochiKit, and TinyMCE (and many other projects) have all shown interest in refining Sizzle to perfection.

A rough Sizzle project page can be found here:
http://sizzlejs.com/

Along with the full source code:
http://github.com/jeresig/sizzle/tree/master

New API Browser

Along with the release of jQuery 1.3, I’m pleased to present the new API browser, developed by Remy Sharp, available at: http://api.jquery.com/.

jQuery API Browser
This is an alternative view to the existing jQuery API that should be easy to navigate and use.

The new API browser includes the following features:

  • All the latest jQuery and jQuery UI documentation.
  • The ability to mark pages as favorites for those pages you keep wanting to return to.
  • Syntax highlighting in the code examples
  • Live running of examples within the browser
  • Links to edit and experiment with the code examples

Most importantly though, the API browser is also available offline as an Adobe AIR application (thanks to Tane Piper’s AIR framework). The interface looks and works the same, and includes an auto-update mechanism, so you’ll always be up to date.

Download and install the AIR API browser

If you find problems please submit a bug to the bug tracker under the ’site’ component.

Which leads us to the last, and certainly not the least important, point…

jQuery Foundation

With the jQuery Project growing at a tremendous rate, it was important for us, as a team, to take a step back and determine how the project’s ownership should be handled. Currently, John Resig, jQuery’s founder and lead developer, and Paul Bakaus, lead developer for jQuery UI, both maintain ownership of their respective projects. This posed several concerns from a practical and legal perspective as it enjoined two individuals as the owners of the projects instead of a formal organization. As more individuals and corporations started contributing to the projects, these concerns became even more evident causing confusion as to who were the correct copyright holders for specific units of work.

After meeting up to talk at the recent jQuery Conference, we decided to really make a concerted effort to fix this and determine how we could shift ownership of the jQuery projects to a foundation-type organization that would:

1. Understand the nature of open-source software development.
2. Allow us to continue to manage the project unhindered.
3. Ensure that the projects continue to live on regardless of who is involved in the effort.

After examining many options we came to a final conclusion - and we’re excited to announce that the Software Freedom Conservancy has extended the jQuery project an invitation to join the non-profit organization and continue developing software under its auspices. By joining The Software Freedom Conservancy, the jQuery projects and community immediately realize some important benefits:

1. It allows the current project members to continue to manage the projects and maintain ultimate responsibility for the direction of current and future efforts.
2. It allows the projects to be considered a true non-profit efforts allowing us to be able to accept donations and contributions without incurring tremendous personal financial liability.
3. The copyright of the code will be assigned to the conservancy thus ensuring that no single person will own contributions or assets of the project.
4. It may allow corporations to write off time when an employee contributes to a project.
5. Most importantly, it ensures that the jQuery projects will always be open and free software.

This is a big step in formalizing the jQuery projects and an important accomplishment in ensuring that the investment being made by the jQuery community is protected. We’ll be making the transition into the conservancy over the coming weeks. There will be very little, to no, change in how the project will run. The jQuery Team will still run and manage the project and we’re still going to work hard to build the best JavaScript library possible. If anything this will help to free up some of our time so that we can spend more time coding - and who doesn’t like the sound of that?

Happy 3rd birthday, jQuery!

  15. riper Says:

    Congratulations !

  16. James Says:

    Looks absolutely awesome!

    Congrats to the entire jQuery team! Awesome, great, fantastic! :D

  17. Jason Says:

    Looking forward to testing it out soon!

    Another note: I hope you won’t be getting rid of docs.jquery.com. api.jquery.com looks nice, but in terms of usability, it’s much worse.

  18. Jonic Says:

    Congrats on the three years and 1.3 guys! Sounds like there’s a whole heap of cool stuff in this release.. I’m looking forward to digging in and checking it all out! :)

    Congrats John. I am a big fan of jQuery. jQuery enables Ajax the HTML way.

  24. mrm Says:

    The API browser AIR app doesn’t work (can’t be downloaded).

  25. Jeremy Chone Says:

    This is great. The new API browser looks good, it would be good to have a more aggregated apis in one page though.

  26. Rick Faircloth Says:

    John and Paul,

    Just wanted to say congratulations and thank you for all the time and effort you’ve put into the jQuery project. You’ve produced an excellent work that has enabled many to begin to employ Javascript in an intuitive manner when it would otherwise be out-of-reach for those of us who want to use Javascript “along the way” rather than be full-time JS programmers.

    Your efforts are much appreciated!
    And Happy Birthday jQuery!

    Rick

  27. mrm Says:

    Also, it would be nice to let commenters know their comments are awaiting moderation. Thanks.

  28. Kory Arsenault Says:

    Congrats JQUERY!.. We love you!!

  29. Vincent Voyer Says:

    Hello, happy birthday

    I can’t find if the “delegation filtering performance” will be always used ?

    Imagine i take 300 li tags and i do this :

    $(’ul > li’).bind(’click’, function() {});

    Will it be 300 events (like 1.2.6) or just one event on the ul ?

    thank you i’m a little loste here .. :)

  30. Phunky Says:

    :) we share the same bday! Happy birthday jQuery!!

  31. Cleveland Says:

    Congrats on the new release! Can’t wait to use it :-)

  32. Saliem Says:

    wooT! *hands drinks around*

  33. Remi Says:

    It’s not working with PS3 browser at all,
    what could be the reason?

  34. Neil Says:

    Congratulations jQuery! Happy Birthday! Keep up the great work. When I think JavaScript now, I think jQuery almost by default. :-)

  35. Mike McNally Says:

    API browser is really nice, but somebody should make sure that the “jQuery” logo in the upper left corner is a clickable link back to the main jQuery page.

  36. Dylan Schiemann Says:

    On behalf of the entire Dojo community, congrats to the jQuery team and community, not only on the 1.3 release, but also with Sizzle joining the Dojo Foundation and jQuery joining the Software Freedom Conservancy!

  37. Cameron Says:

    This looks really sweet! JQuery’s really coming of age :)

    Well done and happy birthday too!

    1 question - do you guys have a blog feed? would like to keep abreast of updates, etc.. can’t find a feed button on the site. might be blind, but have looked. a lot.

    cam.

  38. David Parker Says:

    Congrats on the birthday and the release! Keep up the good work!

  39. BuKToP Says:

    Why I can not find the “Packed” version?
    Only “Full” and “Min”… Well if “Min” is around 57 Kb, previous “Packed” versions are around 30 Kb… :(

  40. thirdeye Says:

  45. Mathias Bynens Says:

    This is great news. The new features sound very promising.

    Additionally, Google has provided us with a copy of jQuery hosted on their servers. This copy of jQuery is automatically minified and gzipped - and served from Google’s fast edge cache severs.

    Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear to be gzipped.

  46. mo Says:

    I love you guys, if i could, i’d give u a great big sloppy kiss right on the lips!

  47. Martin Leblanc Says:

    Many thanks to the jQuery team and happy birthday jQuery!

  86. Zwyzki Says:

    Thanks for the great write up and congratulations on 1.3! Too bad about deprecating browser sniffing. I do browser sniffing to direct users on how to do something on their particular browser, for example, how to disable pop-up blockers. This has nothing to do if a browser supports a certain feature.

  87. Jorn Says:

    Happy birthday, sweetest Javascript framework. Goddess bless you all.

    Lame aesthetic request: Could we please have the jQuery logo favicon.ico on the API browser site?

  88. Web Dev Hand Tools Revisited « Don Park’s Daily Habit Says:

    […] This time, I am going to go with jQuery 1.3 (released today!) for most tasks and use Ext when complex widgets are needed since I personally had no problem using Ext. Quality and selection of Ext widgets is hard to beat but it’s too heavy for mundane Ajax stuff and style-conflicts are real issues unless Ext style is embraced fully which I am not willing to do. YUI style is cleaner but, egads, verbose YUI API really rubs against my simpletonian vanity. Re Dojo, I’ll just say it’s too liberal for my taste. […]

  89. Steve Says:

    Tabs don’t appear to work when I use the new version.

    Works fine with 1.2.6

    Where do we report bugs - tabs are a part of 1.5.3

    Congratulations on the new release!

    One problem with removing the browser sniffing is that it makes it harder to work around IE bugs. For example, when manipulating a select list with optgroup tags, every other browser works with “group.appendChild(option)”, but IE7 fails and needs “options.add(option, index)” instead.

  143. Jason Hummel Says:

    I think I found a typo in the jQuery docs: in Utilities > Array and Object operations > $.grep

    The example says:
    “Filters the original array of numbers leaving that are not 5 and have an index greater than 3. Then it removes all 9s while inverting it.”

    I don’t believe the code is inverting the array, unless I’m misunderstanding something - it’s just removing the 9s.

    Hello. In the previous version, chrome was not in the class browser, can you add it to the jQuery compressed? The line of code was added after “mozilla: /mozilla/.test( userAgent ) && !/(compatible|webkit)/.test( userAgent )” is :
    “chrome : /chrome/.test(navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase()) ” .
    Thank you.

    This is great stuff! Here’s to another 3+ years of awesomeness.

    Now, could I make a suggestion for the AIR API browser? Could you make the categories more like an accordion? So, instead of clicking “Manipulation” then “Removing” then having to click “removing” again to go up a level, you’d have all the sections underneath a category available to expand. I’m sure it was for space considerations, but there are too many clicks.

    I really like the filter function, though!

    Kudos to jquery - anyone note the extensive use on the revamped White House site? (http://www.whitehouse.gov)

    Regardless of ones political affiliation, it is great to see jquery being utilized by an administration that prides itself on it’s tech savvy and use of forward-thinking communication technology.

    I for one have been trying to figure out how to put together a slideshow component like the one they are using on the home page - looks like they are chaining together a few plugins - jcarousel, galleria and cycle to name a few.

    Would love to see a tutorial on putting together something like this.

  177. Nieuwe versie van jQuery | Sterce Verhalen Says:

    […] In versie 1.3 van jQuery zijn een aantal nieuwe mogelijkheden opgenomen die ons veel meer speelruimte geven bij het ontwikkelen van websites en applicaties. Voor ons is de belangrijkste nieuwe feature “Live events”. Voorheen was er een vrij onhandig probleem: stel, er wordt dynamisch een object aangemaakt met jQuery (bijvoorbeeld een popup venster). Met dat net aangemaakte object zou jQuery niet overweg kunnen. Dus de popup was bijvoorbeeld niet netjes te sluiten of aan te passen. Met een omweg was dit wel op te lossen, maar met de nieuwe Live events is dit allemaal opgelost!    Techniek […]

  180. jQuery 1.3 looks great! Says:

    […] jQuery is the javascript library that I’ve grown most fond of, especially because of the livequery plugin.  Now, with the recent release of jQuery 1.3, it looks like they’ve incorporated livequery into the library itself (using the “.live” and “.die” methods)!  Not only that, but the speed improvements look delicious!  I’m also quite impressed with the speed improvements overall (according to their website).  jQuery has already performed wonderfully, IMHO, and so I’m amazed they could squeeze that much more out of it. Congrats! […]

  181. No more re-binding with jQuery 1.3 | Paul Richards Says:

    […] With the release of the jQuery 1.3 on the 24th Janurary 2009 see’s the new feature called ‘Live Events’. This goes some way to solve the jQuery problem of creating dom elements on the fly which then have no events bound. Then your normally required to rebind any event handlers to them, resulting another potential large layer of complexity to your code. […]

    […] Back on January 14, 2006, a brash, young and talented developer named John Resig put out a personal project to the OSS world and hoped it could benefit *someone*. Little did he know that 3 years later, his side project would become one of the most influential frameworks for developing JavaScript-based applications. Today, the jQuery project turns 3 years old which, considering the churn rate for open source projects, is a monumental achievement. So it makes sense that on the project’s 3rd birthday, the team has announced the release of jQuery v1.3, the latest and greatest release of jQuery which includes the new Sizzle selector engine. […]
