Just a heads up. WP trunk uses jQuery 1.5.2. 1.5.2 no longer allows selectors of the form [property=value]. These selectors now require quotes: [property="value"]. Unquoted values will result in “uncaught exception: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: [property=value]“. Check your plugins against 1.5.2.

Now that jQuery 1.6 is released, is that likely to make it in to 3.2 or has it missed the cut?
1.6 does make some changes that might break compatibility – see the release notes about attr() and prop().

jQuery 1.6 was released a few days ago, too:

It won’t be going into 3.2 in all likelihood though because it will require more robust testing.

Or maybe it will…

jQuery 1.6 has some features that would require rewriting most of the code that uses it (thinking mostly about all the plugins that use jQuery). 1.6.1 fixes that and is currently in RC. Hopefully it will be released in time for inclusion in WordPress 3.2.
Oh, and 1.6 still has the same requirement like 1.5.2, all [property=value] selectors have to be fixed.
