jQuery FTW!
live627:
Have you even USED jQuery?
Thantos:
jQuery is not a plugin that has to be kept up to date. In fact, you rarely want to just include the most recent version. Instead you pick a version and upgrade after you've tested. At work we were running 1.4 for a few years and are just now updating to 1.7. Looking at the release notes I don't recall any security releases. I would expect that SMF would package the jQuery file that was used and tested against. If jQuery released a minor version that fixed some critical issue then SMF could easily release their own patch for it via the package manager.
What jQuery allows for the devs and themers to write complicated JS a lot better and easier with a greater compatibility between browsers.

It isn't really more complicated than that!

Been waiting for this for a long time.
Some mods have jquery bundled with them so those mods should be updated too :)
Kindred:
well.... all mods would have to be updated for 2.1 anyway....
