I tried to let this go, but I just couldn't. jQuery has a history of making non-backwards-compatible changes. Some users update their code, some users stay on old versions, some users patch over it, some users yell (these groups are not mutually exclusive). The library improves, time passes, and things settle down. Our usage and adoption rate is generally unchanged even when we introduce breaking changes. Expect more non-backwards-compatible changes to jQuery in the future. Node should fix its problems, even if that means a slightly painful upgrade in a specific version for some percentage of users. -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
