Hi Ben,
I think one of the things that we've done is spoiled jQuery developers
by releasing often. Obviously, we try hard to do that (spoil jQuery
developers) because we want you guys to have the very best features and
be able to build kick-ass apps.
Every so often though, we do need to slow down to:
1) make sure we're addressing the needs of the community in the right way
2) build solid features that won't adversely affect the API
3) have ample time to do proper testing
4) take a well-deserved break from pushing out code :)
We definitely haven't halted development and we're trying to nail down
our next release. So just be patient a little longer and we should get a
release out in the near future.

Hi all,
There hasn't been a jQuery update in what seems like ages, and jQuery UI
1.6 will be released 'in the next few days' since somewhere in
september. I know John has been really busy with a lot of great things,
but it seems to me like the development of jquery has seriously lagged
the last few months.
As a small example: there isn't even a way to detect chrome in the
official jquery builds yet, and chrome has been out for several months now.
I'm afraid that the lack of updates will eventually have a negative
impact on the great Query community, causing people to leave for other
js frameworks. I sincerely hope not, but i _am_ worried about it.
Best, Bob.
