+New and Noteworthy
+-----------------
+
+1.1
+-----
+
+ - Massive speed-ups (4x-10x) in the selector engine 
+ - jQuery is no longer destructive. Doing var a = $("a"); a.find("span"); does not change the original "a" variable.
+ - Removed .oneEvent() and .unEvent() helper methods.
+ - Added new .one( "type", fn ) method
+ - Performming .click(), .blur(), .focus(), .submit() will actually trigger the browsers default action for those events.
+ - Fixed synchronous requests
+ - $.get, $.getIfModified, $.post, $.getScript and $.getJSON now all pass through the XMLHttpRequest as returned by $.ajax
+ - Improved AJAX docs (eg. more examples for $.ajax)
+ - Improved event fixing (Opera provides event.srcElement, must ignore it if target is available; only create pageX if clientX is available)
+ - Fixed ID with context selectors (eg. div #id doesn't ignore "div" anymore)
+ - Fixed nth-child selectors to start on the right number
+ - Improved jQuery.merge to avoid unnecessary loops
+ - Removed the (undocumented) .find( "selector", fn ) for all destructive methods.
+ - Fixed docs for html(): Now mentions that is not available for XML documents
+ - Improved docs for blur() and focus(), mentioning the difference between calling the jQuery method and the DOM method
+ - Implemented a better error handling for ajax requests. Exceptions caused by dropping connections are now handled, too.
+ - Added global settings for AJAX (in addition to timeout), use $.ajaxSetup() to modify them
+ - You can now unbind event handlers from within themselves
+ - Documented filter(Function)
+ - Improved docs for FX module, merging method descriptions and marking optional arguments
+ - Improved docs for append, prepend, before and after, merging the three pairs into one
+
+1.0.4
+-----
+
+ - Tons of bug fixes
+ - Extensions to $.ajax: $.ajax accepts additonal options: beforeSend, async and processData; returns XMLHttpRequest to allow manual aborting of requests, see docs for details
+ - AJAX module: the public $.ajax API is now used internally (for $.get/$.post etc.); loading scripts works now much more reliable on all browers except Safari
+ - New global ajax handler: ajaxSend - called before an ajax request is sent
+ - Extensions to global ajax handlers: ajaxSend, ajaxSuccess, ajaxError and ajaxComplete get XMLHttpRequest and settings passed as arguments
+ - Extensions to event handling: pageX and pageY are available x-browser (IE does not provide native pageX/Y)
+ - Improved docs: $(String) method has now two seperate descriptions, one for selecting elements, one for creating (html on-the-fly)
+ - FX module: Most inline stlyes added by animations are now removed when the animation is complete, eg. height style when animating height (exception: display styles)
+ - Added note to attr(String, Object) about issues with setting the name property on input elements
+ - Seperated internal stuff from get() into set()
+ - Merged the two API examples for each() into one more precise example
+ - Improved docs for $.browser and added docs for $.boxModel
+ - Docs for the jQuery constructor $() were improved: There is now $(String expression[, Object context]) and $(String html)
