Wow, 11 months. It really has been 11 months since the 1.9.0 release. Interesting freelance times!

Anyway, the jQuery validation plugin 1.10.0 is here! While the very recently launched Pledige.org campaign is just at the start, I hope this release helps convince you that the project isn’t dead. On the contrary, this release brings you all the improvements that were built during those 11 months. A big chunk was contributed by Max Lynch, kudos to him!

What changed? One cool new feature is the ability to specify messages with data- attributes. The next release should bring more html5y support like that, but for now you can put data-msg="Please please fill out this field!" into your markup, or specify one message per method: data-msg-required="Really need this" data-msg-minlength="Moar characters please" (please don’t use these messages in your application…).

Apart from that we’ve got a ton of updates on the outskirts: Localized messages now use their correct ISO codes, a lot of language files got added or improved. Additional methods got a few new citizens and updates to existing methods.

Backwards compatibility is still going strong: The plugin should work with anything from jQuery 1.3.x to 1.8.x.

Download this release.
