JQuery version 1.7.1 released

    The jQuery blog recently released an announcement about the release of version 1.7.1 .

    Like any update that differs only in number after the last point, here we are not talking about introducing major new products, but about fixing a number of unpleasant bugs (and changing bug-like small features), which this time number three dozen.

    Everyone is free to independently select among them the most important for themselves. Personally, these seemed to me significant:
    • $ (document) .text () will no longer always return an empty string;
       
    • $ .error now throws instanceof Error;
       
    • when creating DOM elements, calling $ ('<...>') will no longer leak memory;
       
    • the width animation specified by the percent increment in the spirit of $ ('div'). animate ({ width: '- = 5%'}) will lead to a change in the width in percent (as it was in jQuery 1.6.4), but not in pixels (as in jQuery 1.7).
