Hi Everyone -

Due to negligence on my part, the jQuery servers and code have been is
a strange state the past couple days - to summarize:

1) For the past couple days the jQuery server has been crashing every
night. I had no idea why until the a few minutes ago. It was related
to the nightly backups that I make of the site. The problem was that
one backup failed at one point (leaving a .tar file) which was then
encompassed by the next backup (which also failed) - then the next and
next, etc. This meant that every night when it tried to make the
nightly backup it ran out of space and caused a whole bunch of
critical services (web, mail) to crash.

Short story: If there are any sysadmin-types who also care deeply
about JavaScript that want to join the jQuery project, please let me
know. I've been talking with some companies about donating servers and
bandwidth, so that's an option in the future.

2) The 1.0.1 release, last night, was quite spotty. I released the
code with a syntax error in it (ugh!). I fixed that late last night.
However, I also forgot to check the release against the test suite -
so I left in an obvious bug with selectors. This has since been fixed.
If you downloaded 1.0.1 last night, please re-download it now.

Sorry, again, for all the troubles - I'm going to try to be more
thorough in the future.

--John
