Thanks for all your feedback on jQuery 1.9.0! We’re preparing an update to address the issues you’ve found already, but in the meantime here’s a new version of the jQuery Migrate plugin. The plugin can be used with either 1.9 or 2.0 to detect deprecated and removed features, or to restore old features for those sticky situations where you need old code to run with new jQuery. The plugin and the messages it generates are documented in the project README.

Judging by many of the questions and bug reports we’ve gotten, far too many of you are trying to do an upgrade to jQuery 1.9 without also using jQuery Migrate. Stop hitting yourself! We created this plugin to make things easy on you. Just include the plugin after your jQuery file to see if it gives you any warnings. The updated jQuery Migrate plugin is available on jQuery’s CDN, and should be available on the Google and Microsoft CDNs within a few days:

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.0.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-migrate-1.1.0.js"></script>

With this development version, warning messages appear on the browser’s console. They all start with JQMIGRATE so they’re easy to find. Just match up each message with its description in the warning list to determine what it means and how it can be fixed.

In a perfect jQuery world, you’ll be able to update your code and run without the jQuery Migrate plugin. But we’re realists, and know that it may be a while before you and the authors of your plugins can get around to fixing compatibility issues. We’ve got you covered there as well. Just use the minified version and the plugin’s fixes will stay, but the warnings will be silenced so you can deploy to production:

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.0.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-migrate-1.1.0.min.js"></script>


Finally, remember that you can include the jQuery Migrate plugin with your existing copy of jQuery all the way back to 1.6.4, to see what issues may arise when you do get around to upgrading.

What’s New?

For a detailed list of the issues that were closed you can see the issue tracker; here are the important highlights:

• Traces by default: In browsers that support console.trace(), a stack trace will appear after each warning message to make it easier to diagnose. If you prefer to do your own debugging and want to reduce the console clutter, set jQuery.migrateTrace = false.
• A “Logging is active” message: This message shows up when the plugin starts to let you know it is running. If you don’t see any other messages on the console when testing your pages, you done did good.
• Invalid JSON: Before jQuery 1.9.0, $.parseJSON() would accept some invalid JSON values such as "" or undefined and return null rather than throwing an error. Migrate 1.1.0 warns about this and restores this old behavior.
• HTML strings with leading whitespace: jQuery 1.9 restricts the strings processed by $() for security reasons. Although we recommend you use $.parseHTML() to process arbitrary HTML like templates, the 1.1.0 version of the Migrate plugin restores the old behavior.
• Inappropriate warnings: The Migrate plugin showed a warning for $("<button>", { type: "button" }), which was not correct since that form is allowed on IE6/7/8. That’s been fixed.
• We’re in the jQuery Plugins site: To set a good example, the jQuery Migrate plugin is on the Plugins site! You can always find it on Github as well.

In the past few days and weeks, you’ve probably already noticed the new theme we’ve been rolling out across our websites. In fact, unless this is your very first time looking at the jQuery blog, this very post probably looks a lot different than what you’ve been used to seeing over the past few years. Today, as this new design finally reaches jquery.com, we are very excited to pull back the curtain and explain the work we’ve been doing and how it goes above and beyond the simple “facelift” it may appear to be at first glance.

As the jQuery ecosystem has grown, it’s become increasingly difficult for the jQuery Team to keep our arms wrapped around a burgeoning balloon of documentation, design, CMS installs and wikis. Community members who’ve wanted to report and fix documentation errors have been left with nowhere to take action, and the picture wasn’t much better even for those who did have access. With all this content and design locked away in production environments behind a slew of different user accounts, and nowhere to track bugs, visibility has been low and progress incremental at best. We knew we had to make a change.

Over the past year, we’ve undertaken a massive effort to consolidate and simplify our site infrastructure and open source all of our web site content, documentation, and design. We’ve done this because it has already done wonders for our own ability to collaborate and move forward, and because we hope it will open up new avenues of participation for all of you out there who have wanted to find a way to get involved with jQuery, but have been unsure you could contribute.

So, enough with the platitudes — on to the stack!

git + grunt + WordPress

We’ve moved nearly all of our documentation and site content into static content repositories on GitHub, where they are maintained in HTML, Markdown, or XML, depending on the type of content. Now, if you notice a typo or think something needs clarification, you can file an issue and even send a pull request with a fix. Everything from the source documentation for jQuery.ajax to the front page of jquery.com to the raw Markdown of this new page that includes the full list of content repositories is open source!

The content is brought to life on our websites using WordPress and our custom theme and multi-site configuration, jquery-wp-content. Using this single WordPress instance makes it exponentially easier and more manageable for us to keep the look and feel of all our different sites in sync, and preserves our ability to easily layer on dynamic features like site search and user accounts as we need them. jquery-wp-content also contains a custom installation script that makes it easy to stand up the entire jQuery sites network for local development, opening up the doors for much less conservative experimentation with fixes and new features. Again, all this means that if you notice bugs on any jQuery website, there’s somewhere to report them, and you can even work on the fix yourself if you want!

(We’ve received an incredible amount of help creating and maintaining jquery-wp-content from WordPress developers Andrew Nacin and Daryl Koopersmith, and we’d be remiss if we didn’t thank them right here for all their hard work!)

The link between WordPress and the static content repositories is a grunt build and deployment process that processes the content files and synchronizes them into a WordPress installation using XML-RPC. That means we don’t ever use the WordPress Administration pages; all authoring and editing just happens in your favorite text editor, then grunt does the hard work.

In order to deploy to our production and staging servers, we simply use git webhooks to respond to commits on the content repositories and jquery-wp-content. Whenever a commit lands on the master branch of these repositories, the content and design is reflected immediately in the staging environment, which is just the URL of the website with a stage. subdomain prefix, e.g., stage.jquery.com. To deploy to the production sites, all that’s necessary is tagging with a semver and pushing the tag.

New Sites

In addition to today’s new look for the blog and jquery.com, we’re happy to unveil some brand new sites that are all powered by this system, which you should find especially useful if you’re looking to find ways to get involved with with jQuery.

Contribute to jQuery

URL: contribute.jquery.org | Repo: github.com/jquery/contribute.jquery.org
Our new hub for information on how to actually get started with contributing to jQuery and open source in general. It’s also full of useful resources for contributors, like our CLA form and style guides used across all of our projects.

jQuery IRC Center

URL: irc.jquery.org | Repo: github.com/jquery/irc.jquery.org
The jQuery Foundation uses Internet Relay Chat extensively for support and project communication. This is where we host the logs from our channels and keep documentation about how you can get connected and what to expect when you get there.

jQuery Brand Guidelines

URL: brand.jquery.org | Repo: github.com/jquery/brand.jquery.org
As we’ve recently freshened up a lot of the conventions we’re using for representing jQuery, we’ve also published these guidelines so that the community can have a better understanding of how they can — and can’t — use the names and marks of jQuery Foundation projects.

Sunrise, Sunset

We’ll also be saying goodbye to some subdomains in the next few weeks, and we wanted to give you a heads up, so you can prepare if necessary.

docs.jquery.com

Our original MediaWiki documentation-and-catch-all site has served admirably over the years, but it is time to put it out to pasture. We’ll continue to redirect the popular URLs on this site to their more modern counterparts.

meetups.jquery.com

Hosting our own meetup network was an interesting experiment, but the site gets almost no usage and is cumbersome for us to continue to manage, so we will be shutting it down. We recommend organizers use other, more established platforms such as meetup.com.

---

In addition to the new sites we’ve just launched, we’ll be continuing to roll out other new sites and integrate more of our existing sites into with the new theme over the coming days and weeks. We’re really happy with how it’s working so far, and look forward to continuing to improve the sites — perhaps with your help! As always, if you have trouble with any of this, please file issues, join us in the #jquery-content channel on freenode, or send an e-mail to content at jquery dot com.

Are you sitting down? Well sit down, in front of your computer, and start downloading. We have several new jQuery releases for you to test. For your convenience, jQuery can even be downloaded while standing.

First up are the final versions of jQuery 1.9 and jQuery Migrate 1.0. We think these releases are pretty solid, because very few of you reported any problems in the beta versions. Just be sure to read the information in the jQuery 1.9 upgrade guide so that your transition will be smoother.

Next, take out your sunglasses. Today you get a glimpse at the future, and it’s bright. jQuery 2.0 is in beta test! We know it’s a lot to take in, so let’s recap the positioning for jQuery 1.9 and 2.0:

• jQuery 1.9 and 2.0 have the same API. Several deprecated features such as $.browser have been removed from both versions. It’s all laid out in the jQuery 1.9 upgrade guide.
• jQuery 1.9 runs on Internet Explorer 6, 7, and 8 (“oldIE”), just like previous versions. Consider it a cleaner, slimmer, modern-API upgrade from jQuery 1.8.
• jQuery 2.0 will not run on oldIE. As a result of removing several layers of barnacle-encrusted code, it will be both faster and smaller than jQuery 1.9.
• The team is supporting both jQuery 1.9 and 2.0 into the future. You choose which version you want to use based on your needs.

The jQuery Migrate plugin can be used with either 1.9 or 2.0 to detect deprecated and removed features, or to restore old features for those sticky situations where you need old code to run with new jQuery. The plugin and the messages it generates are documented in the project README.

If you’re on a recent version of jQuery core and have been avoiding deprecated features, these new jQuery releases may work for your code right out of the box. (Just remember, jQuery 2.0 doesn’t work on IE 6, 7, or 8!) Still, we recommend that you always start by including the jQuery Migrate plugin to see if it gives you any warnings.

The jQuery 1.9 final files are available on jQuery’s CDN, and should be available on the Google and Microsoft CDNs within a few days:

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.0.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-migrate-1.0.0.js"></script>


Or, for testing jQuery 2.0 beta 1, use the jQuery CDN:

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.0.0b1.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-migrate-1.0.0.js"></script>


For diagnostic purposes, you can also include the jQuery Migrate plugin with versions of jQuery all the way back to 1.6.4 to see what changes may cause issues with your code when you finally upgrade.

No matter which version of jQuery you use with the plugin, be sure to open the browser’s console to see what warnings or errors are being generated. Warnings given by the plugin start with the word “JQMIGRATE” and are listed in the plugin’s documentation. The description explains why the warning was given and how it can be fixed.

What’s New in 1.9

It may be a few weeks before the complete documentation for this release lands at api.jquery.com, especially since the API and other documentation sites are in the process of their own upgrade. For now, here’s a summary of what’s new and changed.

Streamlined API: Many deprecated and dubious features have been removed, as documented in the upgrade guide.

New .css() multi-property getter: Now you can pass .css() an array of CSS property names and it will return an object with the current values of all those CSS properties:

var dims = $("#box").css([ "width", "height", "backgroundColor" ]);
//  { width: "10px", height: "20px", backgroundColor: "#D00DAD" }

Enhanced cross-browser CSS3 support: jQuery 1.9 now supports the following CSS3 selectors across all browsers, all the way back to IE6: :nth-last-child, :nth-of-type, :nth-last-of-type, :first-of-type, :last-of-type, :only-of-type, :target, :root, and :lang.

New .finish() method: This method can be used to immediately complete all the animations queued on an element. The jQuery 1.9 RC1 blog post has more information and an example.

Source map support: You can now run the minified version of jQuery but use source maps for debugging. This can be extremely valuable for tracking down problems on a production web site. See the jQuery 1.9 RC1 blog post for a full description.

Many, many bug fixes: We’re especially proud of what we hope will be the final set of fixes for obscure issues in IE 6, 7, and 8. See the changelog below for a complete inventory.

Getting started with 2.0

Since jQuery 2.0 has its foundation in the work for jQuery 1.9, all the discussion in the upgrade guide also applies to 2.0. The Migrate plugin will identify many of these issues for you automatically.

If you’re using jQuery in non-web-site HTML situations such as an Android, iOS, or Windows 8 app, or a Chrome/Firefox add-on, jQuery 2.0 is an awesome choice. You can even use jQuery 2.0 on web sites if you don’t support oldIE or don’t mind using conditional comments:

<!--[if lt IE 9]>
    <script src="jquery-1.9.0.js"></script>
<![endif]-->
<!--[if gte IE 9]><!-->
    <script src="jquery-2.0.0.js"></script>
<!--[endif]-->

With this first beta of jQuery 2.0 we’ve made a huge down payment on major cleanup, cutting the size of the library by more than 10 percent. But we’re nowhere near done. There is more refactoring possible now that we can consistently depend on modern JavaScript, CSS, HTML, and DOM features being there. We’ll continue to tighten and clean up the code before 2.0 ships, and extend our work to make more functionality optional to shrink the size of custom builds.

My fellow web developers, the state of jQuery is strong.

On January 14, 2006, John Resig attended BarCampNYC and made a presentation about his new project called jQuery. In a contemporary blog post John said, “This code revolutionizes the way you can get JavaScript to interact with HTML.” It was a bold statement, but in retrospect we know it was an understatement.

Seven years after John introduced jQuery to the world, the JavaScript library he created has continued to evolve. Today, jQuery is used by more than half of the top 100,000 sites and is the most popular JavaScript library by far.

Last year, jQuery projects moved from under the wing of the Software Freedom Conservancy to our own non-profit organization: The jQuery Foundation. This new Foundation was created not just to foster jQuery code projects, but to advocate for the needs of web developers everywhere. We’re starting to see the fruits of that labor.

To serve the evolving needs of web developers, jQuery has grown far beyond the core library. jQuery UI provides a rich set of user interface widgets that share a consistent and common set of events, programming conventions, and visual styles. jQuery Mobile offers a framework designed to simplify web site and HTML app development on mobile devices. Additional jQuery Foundation projects such as Sizzle, QUnit, and TestSwarm provide valuable components and tools for web development.

Anniversary Announcements

During the coming two weeks you’ll hear more about each of these jQuery Foundation initiatives:

jQuery 1.9 final: This latest version of jQuery core provides support for a full spectrum of browsers, from IE6 all the way to the most recent releases of every major browser.

jQuery 2.0 beta: Here is your taste of the future, a jQuery that can be faster and smaller without the need to support IE 6, 7, or 8. It’s a great choice for platform-specific HTML applications.

jQuery Migrate 1.0 final: Use this plugin to find things that may cause upgrade issues when you move up from older jQuery versions, and to allow older code to work with either jQuery 1.9 or 2.0.

jQuery UI 1.10 final: This version of jQuery UI includes API redesigns for both the Dialog and Progressbar components, in addition to a healthy set of fixes to other components.

New and remodeled web sites: All jQuery sites are being updated with a new look, and we’re encouraging contributions via Github. The most exciting news of all? The Plugin site returns!

Conferences: Our next conference is being held in Portland Oregon on June 12-14, so save the date! Ticket sales and a call for speakers will open on January 25th at noon Eastern time. Details of future conferences are coming soon; they include Austin Texas in September 2013, San Diego California in February 2014, and Chicago Illinois in July 2014.

Membership: Our new program lets you or your company show support by donating to the jQuery Foundation; you’ll get benefits such as t-shirts, hoodies, and discounts on conference tickets.

jQuery’s Mission

With the impending arrival of jQuery 2.0 some people have been asking, “If jQuery doesn’t have to worry about IE 6, 7 or 8 anymore, where does it go now? Aren’t cross-browser issues the whole reason for jQuery’s existence?”

First of all, let’s be very clear: The jQuery team does “worry about” IE 6/7/8, with jQuery 1.9. We’ve created a legacy-free jQuery 2.0 in order to address the many situations where older versions of IE aren’t needed. Some glorious day in the future, jQuery 2.0 will be the only version you’ll need; until then we’ll continue to maintain jQuery 1.9.

Second, jQuery wasn’t just created to iron out browser differences. It introduced a concise, powerful, and expressive API for managing HTML documents that is far better than the original W3C DOM APIs. Using the jQuery API, developers have created reusable jQuery plugins that make the process of building a web site or HTML application much easier. jQuery is a great choice even for an iPhone HTML app that will never see a different web platform.

But to the point about cross-browser issues, it’s a complete myth that today’s modern browsers have no differences. Look through the jQuery source code and you’ll see plenty of places where it has to fix, patch, and mask issues in modern browsers; those problems didn’t end with IE8. jQuery 2.0 now has more patches and shims for Chrome, Safari, and Firefox than for Internet Explorer!

In fixing and patching these differences, we often act as an advocate for web developers to the browser makers and standards organizations. We want jQuery APIs to be consistent and return useful results, even when browser bugs or ill-conceived standards dictate otherwise. It’s not always easy to do that.

Sometimes, doing the right thing requires changes to the standards, or new standards altogether. For some examples of that, see the work Mike Sherov has done to fix getComputedStyle(), or the efforts of Mat Marquis and others to create a responsive image tag. Team members Yehuda Katz and Rick Waldron are participating in the W3C and ECMA standards groups that define the technologies we all use.

Let’s Work Together

All of these benefits to the web development community are delivered by a dedicated group of jQuery team members. We’re proud to have developers like these working on behalf of the jQuery Foundation to advocate for the needs of the community. The majority of the team volunteers their time, or has their time subsidized through the generous donation of their employer. But there is always more work to do than the team can possibly tackle. Here are ways you can help:

Join the jQuery Foundation. As a member, you’ll get an awesome annual membership gift such as a t-shirt, hoodie, or bag, depending on your level of contribution. Your cash donations can help to keep our operations going. We’ll be announcing a memebership program in a few days as part of our anniversary celebration.

Test beta versions of jQuery projects as soon as they arrive. We want to find and fix problems before the final release. Beta versions are announced on the jQuery blogs, and bug reporting procedures are given in the blog posts as well. Read through the documentation and let us know when information is incorrect or missing. As Linus’ Law says, “Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow.”

Write code, documentation, or web sites for a jQuery project. It’s not just the libraries themselves that need volunteers. The jQuery Foundation has many, many web sites at this point, and those sites always need contributions of code, documentation, or design. Watch for a blog post soon about a new site for contributors.

Get your company involved. If your company encourages employees to do open source work, consider doing that work on jQuery Foundation projects. Companies that wish to provide services and/or financial support can become corporate members of the jQuery Foundation.

Share your knowledge with the jQuery community. Join the discussion on our jQuery forum, on Stack Overflow, at user-group gatherings and conferences, or anywhere else you find jQuery being the hot topic.

Thank You!

As you can tell, the jQuery Foundation was very busy in 2012, and we’re determined to continue that pace in 2013.

We couldn’t have made such incredible progress without support from members and sponsors. jQuery Foundation member companies include WordPress, Media Temple, Adobe, RIM, Apigee, Intel, Gentics, BNOTIONS, White October, Bitovi, Davinci, Application Craft, GitHub, Go Daddy and MJG International. Significant support has also been provided by Bocoup, Filament Group, and their staff.

jQuery’s success isn’t ours alone; the web development community around the world deserves much of the credit. The breadth and scope of the jQuery ecosystem shows that it is thriving, and it continues to grow thanks to your support. Let’s make 2013 another great year for web developers!

President, jQuery Foundation
