Hello,
I have completed the update to the standard version of qUnit.
For the most part you won't see any changes to how you wrote the unit
tests. Almost all of the structure has remained intact. The main
difference is that if you want to use the qunit style assertions, you
no longer use the the jqunit namespace. The most common use of
qunit's built in functions, that I have seen, has been with the use of
the "expect" function.
I have updated all of the test plans to now use the proper syntax.
Please feel free to message me with any comments or questions.
Thanks
Justin

Hey Justin,
A bit of quick background information:
QUnit is the jQuery unit testing framework, and it has recently been
improved. We've been running off a custom fork of it which we dubbed
jqUnit. Justin is migrating us back to the standard version.
We also have some asserts that provide compatibility with the xUnit-
style asserts. We like them, so the question is what to call them.

I'm nearing the completion of switching from jqUnit to qUnit.
Since I need the name change in order to complete the conversion,
please post your suggestions by the end of the day.
A bunch of us talked this over on the IRC channel. Here's a summary
of the conversation:
colinclark:I think everyone here tends to prefer the xUnit-style
asserts.
colinclark:Rather than ok() and the like.
Bosmon:Yes, they are unfortunate
Bosmon:Well, my suggestion is that we just continue to call it jqUnit
anastasiac:hm... it's a jUnit - qUnit adapter, right?
anastasiac:so "jqUnit" seems at least mildly fitting
michelled:I suppose xqUnit is slightly better but I don't think it's
enough better to change
michelled:I'm happy with jqUnit
Justin_o:Bosmon, colinclark, michelled, anastasiac: sounds like we
are going to keep jqUnit
So, we'll stick with "jqUnit." Justin, thanks for fixing this issue,
it's nice to get rid of our little fork.
Colin
