A recent commit - http://github.com/jquery/jquery/commit/04524287d3e0112deae570ff9247c734833431bb - changed the behaviour of $() from $(document) to $([]).
This is a change that I can truly jibe with, and I think the behaviour makes sense. No one likes having to do $([]) to create an empty jQuery object. Unfortunately, no change for 1.4 has made me think "will break a lot of people's code" like this one. For some inane reason, people (and a lot of tutorials) really started using the $() shortcut, so the change kind of makes me somewhat uneasy. Would love to hear any other perspectives on this. Should the change stay in and be loudly shouted as a potential 1.4 transition issue, or rolled back? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jQuery Development" group.
