Some APIs may have changed since this version was released. If using this version, find out about our version support.

API changes in jQuery 1.8.0 dealt primarily with animations and the removal of some methods such as deferred.isResolved(), deferred.isRejected(), $.curCSS(), $.attrFn(), and $(element).closest(Array) returning Array.
