Since today's the 4th birthday of jQuery, they've decided to celebrate with the release of jQuery 1.4. It's got some cool new stuff, not just tweaks.

They don't have the link to 1.4 on the jQuery homepage, so if you want it, click the link above.

It's on their site now, but I can't find a decent changelog which tells me in layman's terms what it does which the old one doesn't.

The API with the "New in 1.4" is slightly helpful but I can't easily see how existing functions have changed.

I found this: http://jquery14.com/day-01/jquery-14 quite explanatory.

jQuery is a Javascript library. It simplifies common Javascript tasks and helps you do things in a cross-browser fashion without needing to do all the ugly cross-browser compatibility stuff.
