John Resig just mentioned on IRC that jQuery 1.1.4 should be coming out this weekend. The target date for jQuery 1.2 is at the end of August. It'd be great to have Drupal 6 on the latest release of jQuery if possible.

Drupal 6 was updated to 1.1.3.1 in this thread: http://drupal.org/node/146462 with two commits -- the first one described here and the second one here.

Quicksketch suggested opening up another issue for upgrading to 1.1.4.

As listed on their roadmap, there will be a number of deprecated jQuery functions in 1.1.4 in preparation for 1.2. So the following methods (if used in Drupal) will need to be replaced with these alternatives:

    *  Selectors
          o .. selector support (in favor of using .parent())
          o / selector support (in favor of using >)
          o // selector support (in favor of using ' ')
          o [selector] selector support (in favor of using :has(selector))
          o [@attr] selector support (in favor of using [attr]) 
    * DOM
          o .clone(Boolean) (in favor of using .clone().empty() instead) 
    * Ajax
          o .loadIfModified() (in favor of using $.ajax())
          o .getIfModified() (in favor of using $.ajax()
          o .ajaxTimeout() (in favor of using $.ajaxSetup())
          o .evalScripts() (in favor of native support in append, et. al.) 
    * Misc
          o .lt(), .gt(), and .contains() (in favor of using .filter(':lt(0)'), etc.) 

The jQuery nightly builds can be found here: http://docs.jquery.com/Downloading_jQuery#Nightly_Builds

This thread will be updated when jQuery 1.1.4 is released.

Oops. I thought the above poster was referring to a core patch, and that node had an earlier ID so I marked this one a duplicate. That issue's for jQuery update module, however.

But, http://drupal.org/node/170224 has a patch, so even though this is the senior issue, I marked it as a dupe anyway.
