    1. http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/8790

    2. Need a review … I would prefer to “blacklist” natural events (click, mouseover, etc) so customs would all be faster, but it’s a long list: https://github.com/dmethvin/jquery/tree/fix-8790-quick-trigger

       • John: Can you do a pull request for this so that the diff is easier to see?

    3. Someone that uses dataEvents:

    1. http://jsperf.com/jq152-vs-jq16pre-trigger/3

  • 22 (dmethvin): Issue with triggering of focusin – may be fixed by pull 260, need to check with Joern who reported a problem i couldn’t repro Fixed in 1.5.2

    1. https://github.com/jquery/jquery/pull/206

    3. https://public.etherpad-mozilla.org/p/attrhooks-bugs

  • 36 (lrbabe, timmywill): Use requestAnimationFrame *Special attention to optimizing size

    1. https://github.com/jquery/jquery/pull/216 original

1. https://github.com/jquery/jquery/pull/133

51 (danheberden): Support relative values for .css()

1. https://github.com/jquery/jquery/pull/78 original
2. We wanted to see this patch DRY’ed out a bit, but we discussed in meeting and determined that it would probably introduce overhead to share this code between modules, and it’s not that much repeated code.  consensus was in favour of landing as-is. Dan is going to clean up the code a bit more.
3. https://github.com/jquery/jquery/pull/297

valHooks (the more modest version)?

  3. http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/6782
     • Needs more testing, bumping to a 1.6.x release.

3. also fixes http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/3333 ?
