Update to jQuery 1.7 with new event API .on() (do not forgot to add jQuery 1.7).
Update for jQuery Address foreign language URLs support on IE7 and IE6.

Will this work if the plugin is used against older versions of jQuery?

[laukstein]

No, it will work just with jQuery 1.7 and later versions.
Anyway sooner or later you will need to do this switch since jQuery rewrite their APIs; read more in http://blog.jquery.com/2011/11/03/jquery-1-7-released/

Would like to note that this pull request works across all browsers I've tested (IE8,9, FF15, Chrome 22).

laukstein - this pull request has helped me; thank you for it. I hope you might reopen the pull request so asual may re-think the decision to not merge it.

I'm not sure what is the benefit of this refactoring but the change sounds better now since we have a newer jQuery 1.8.

[tristans]

Live is deprecated, and it makes sense to switch to the new event API that jQuery provides.

What is the benefit (besides readability) of using .on instead of the .bind method?

[laukstein]

@oomlaut .bind is a deprecated jQuery syntax.

From the jQuery API .on may be preferred, however it is still a valid method, and has the benefit of being without much of the overhead of .on. Your documentation should note the incompatibilities and required revisions when working with versions prior to 1.7.
