[wp-hackers] Accessing jQuery in Core for a plugin

[Jason Webster]

It is worthwhile to note that only WP > 2.6 includes jQuery 1.2.6+. For 
example, 2.5 shipped with 1.2.3, so if backwards compatibility is a 
priority of yours, make sure not to utilize any > 1.2.3 specific 
features. The only big change to note was that the dimensions plugin 
(which was included with WP < 2.6, so you'd have to enqueue it 
separately) was integrated with the jQuery core.
