jQuery, the little JavaScript library with a big voice, celebrates its first birthday with some sweeping changes in its 1.1 release. According to creator John Resig's release notes, the CSS selectors are now 10-20 times faster than before, and large chunks of the API have been simplified.

The jQuery website has also undergone a realign, and the documentation wiki has been tidied, reorganized, and given a new home. There's also apparently a jQuery book in the works - not bad going for just one year!
