    This release is 13kbs larger than the currently used 1.3.2. (32kb vs 19kb)
    
    Some methods/functions used in RB might have been deprecated. See http://api.jquery.com/category/deprecated/.
    
    This update hosts all updates/improvements from 1.4 to 1.8.

    Notable improvements: 
    
    This update would bring in multiple performance improvements: 
    - Faster selectors, events, and popular methods
    - Better cross-browser compatibility
    - Use of new methods and syntax
    
    Djblets might require an update as well.
    Local dev. Things seem to be working so far. No errors.
    
    More testing to be done.
