Just curious as to why jQuery was removed from v1.5.

I think they say that it is not needed. I suggested in another thread here that they put it back. People are used to having it, and various things that were built with the previous version, like e.g. the dropdown menu that can be built within RSD, all of a sudden doesn't work any more. We are getting loads of questions about it.

I think if their going to put it back in they should make it a checkbox to turn it off and on by user choice.
