That's a good point, actually. I know for a while jQuery was included one file at a time (without the intro/outro). Although, uses of jQuery(foo) will still work since var jQuery = ... still exists in core.js. Perhaps var $ = jQuery; could be added, as well. It wouldn't have a use in the normal jQuery but would benefit those that include jQuery file-by-file. Of course, if someone is doing that then they're also severely polluting the global namespace.
It seems like the minimum build of jQuery is intro + core + outro, then. I'll try and think of a good way to document it. --John On Mon, Aug 10, 2009 at 5:31 PM, Paul Bakaus <paul.bak...@googlemail.com>wrote: > I would be careful about this change, and at the very least document it > somewhere - a few people pack jQuery themselves in custom build scripts, and > since the intro/outro files never did something significant before, they > might have been ignored.
