DREAM IT, WISH IT, DO IT

jQuery 1.7.2 is looking good! The release candidate went smoothly so we’ve made only one small change and are releasing it to your eager hands today. You can get the oven-fresh code from the jQuery CDN now, with Google and Microsoft CDNs soon to follow:

• http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7.2.min.js (minified, production)
• http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7.2.js (unminified, debug)

Note: If you’re using jQuery Mobile, please use jQuery 1.7.2 only with jQuery Mobile 1.1. For previous versions of jQuery Mobile, stay with jQuery core 1.7.1 or earlier.

You can use the bug tracker to report bugs; be sure to create a test case on jsFiddle so we can figure it out easily. If you’re not sure it’s a bug, ask on our forum or on StackOverflow. Pleasedon’t use the blog comments below to report bugs.

As always, this release wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work of many people. First, the jQuery Core Team: gnarf, jaubourg, mikesherov, rwldrn, and timmywil. The support of the jQuery UI, Mobile, and Infrastructure teams was greatly appreciated as well, especially danheberden’s valiant struggle against Trac.

Community members like adebree, caii, cmc3cn, KYSergey, mathiasbynens, miskith, MrMamen, Orkel, pasky, SineSwiper, tavelli, and vlazar pitched in by reporting, verifying, and fixing bugs. Special jQuery Gold Leaf Cluster thanks to gibson042 and sindresorhus for their work in making 1.7.2 a great release. Don’t let these people have all the fun! If you’d like to contribute to the web’s most popular Javascript library, hop onto #jquery-dev on IRC or the Developing jQuery Core section on our forum and say hello!

Many thanks to Louis-Rémi Babé, who submitted a patch to fix a regression with negative margin animations a mere 30 minutes before the release!
