The newest version of the popular JavaScript library is now available! The jQuery team has done some great improvements to the already awesome codebase including core optimaztion and rewrites to adding new methods and additional functionality to some of the old ones. Exciting, huh?

The jQuery team is running a promotion for 14 days (starting on the 14th, so now down to 12!) to celebrate the release called “14 Days of jQuery”. They’re going to release something new every day including the newest version of jQuery UI (1.8) on the last day! With this promotion is an every-day chance to win a year of free hosting from media temple and maybe even a 13″ MacBook Pro!

Be sure to check out their 1.4 site (http://jquery14.com) to read and watch about the new improvements!
