Proposed Highlights of jQuery 3.0 Here we welcome the latest news about jQuery 3.0 coming up early 2015. With curiosity on the rise, developers are awaiting its release to know how the latest version is going to benefit. As a curtain raiser, let us rush through the promised features of jQuery 3.0.
As you all know, jQuery has been till now, running on two different versions, 1.x and 2.x, for which, two different version of jQuery 3.0 are being planned. jQuery Compact 3.0 will be the next in turn after version 1.x and jQuery 3.0 will be after 2.x, the major difference being lack of support to IE8 and lower in the 2.x, in order to streamline the code. The public APIs are the same. There are chances of policy realignment for the browser support. The actual jQuery package will remain concise and clear and will support the popular browsers. The jQuery Compact package will offer a wider support for browsers but of course, with a larger size of file and hence a little compromise on performance. There are going to minimal architectural changes and just little improvements in the normal working, which is sure to bring unexpectedly good results in the performance. Novel technologies like Famo.us are constantly supporting the JavaScript arena. Famo.us is going to add feathers to the jQuery 3.0 by utilization of a Famo.us rendering engine inside a jQuery plug-in. Support for Promises / A + specifications. Usage of requestAnimationFrame method to improvise animation performance. There is a version jump, but as per reliable sources, there shouldn’t be much of migration issues for the existing code.
It would be worth the wait for jQuery 3.0 to release. jQuery has already carved a niche for itself and hence the success of its latest version is inevitable.
