Hi Ton, I didn't respond to you first post, because I am not a core dev. You bumped the message, so I post my opinion.

I had a look at the core functions some time ago. And there are a lot of jQuery calls. Especially if TW has to manipulate the browser internal structure (the DOM [1] Document Object Model) which is almost invisible but important for cross browser compatibility. As far as I understand it. Also the basic TW cryptographic engine has been maped to jQuery code. There are also some older discussions in this group about this, but I didn't store the links. > Or is jQuery still "dead wheight" for future use? Also for me size matters. I think, that having jQuery inside the core is good. There are many jQuery plugins out there which are easy to include into a TW because of that. Otherwise the jQuery core code _and_ the plugin code had to be included into the TW to use them. So for me having the jQuery inside TW is an advantage. (I have to say, that I started to use TW Version 2.5.0; I didn't use any predecessor). On the other hand, there are some deprecated functions inside the core, which could be deleted. Deleting them would make the core somaller, but incompatible to some existing plugins. There are allways to sides of the medal, which the devs have to deal with. > Hope you don't mind me asking. > > Ton van Rooijen > On Apr 11, 5:07 pm, Ton van Rooijen <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear FND, > > Haven't seen a reaction so far on this question. > > But for me it is important because I am still using TW v2.4.3 for this > reason. ... I'd say, if size is important for you and you don't have any problems with your TW, stay with it. If there is a plugin which needs a newer core and you want to use it, you have to update anyway. >..
