Version 1.2.5 (10/4/2013)

• I apparently just closed issue #21... typo fix!

Version 1.2.4 (10/4/2013)

• Parsing of jQuery version is now properly done internally. Fixes issue #2.

Version 1.2.3 (1/18/2013)

• Updated to use jQuery 1.9.
• Tested successfully with jQuery 2.0 beta 1 (not in IE).
• More tweaks to the manifest file to get it to register with the plugin site.

Version 1.2.2 (1/18/2013)

• Another attempt to register the plugin - version bump needed.

Version 1.2.1 (1/18/2013)

• New version labeled to enable updating the jquery plugin registry.

Version 1.2 (1/3/2013)

• Updated demos to use jQuery 1.8+. Also, satisfactorily tested the demos with jQuery 1.9 beta 1.
• Added breakpoint and disabled options:
  • If the breakpoint option contains a value, in pixels, the Equalizer plugin will disable itself when the main wrapper element width is below this value; it's the .wrapper in the setup examples.
  • When the breakpoint is reached, the class name from the disabled option is applied to the main wrapper element.
  • Added an adaptive demo to show how this works together.
  • If the main wrapper element is the browser window, then you can use media queries to change the style of the columns inside the wrapper.
  • Enhancement request from issue #1.
• Added a method to enable or disable the Equalizer plugin.

  • To completely disable or re-enable the Equalizer plugin, trigger the desired event on the wrapper element:

    // to disable trigger disable.equalizer $('.wrapper').trigger('disable.equalizer'); // use enable.equalizer to make it work again $('.wrapper').trigger('enable.equalizer');

Version 1.1 (1/12/2012)

• Big change made in the plugin structure to better allow multiple instances.

  • Changed how the plugin is called. Call the plugin on the wrapper with the jQuery selector within the wrapper. The elements selected by the columns option will be equalized.

    ```javascript // old format = $('.wrapper > div') // new format below $('.wrapper').equalizer({ 	// find divs that are the immediate children of the wrapper 	columns : '> div' }); ``` 

  • Added a method to resize the columns

    ```javascript // initialize the plugin $('.wrapper').equalizer({ resizable: false });  // update column heights on button click $('button').click(function(){   // use the data object   $('.wrapper').data('Equalizer').update();   // or call the plugin again, any new options will be ignored   // $('.wrapper').equalizer(); }); ```
