Fixed checkbox group validation with inline rules: As long as the rules are specified on the first element, the group is now properly validated on click
Fixed #2473, ignoring all rules with an explicit parameter of boolean-false, eg. required:false is the same as not specifying required at all (it was handled as required:true so far)
Fixed #2424, with a modified patch from #2473: Methods returning a dependency-mismatch don’t stop other rules from being evaluated anymore; still, success isn’t applied for optional fields
Fixed url and email validation to not use trimmed values
Fixed creditcard validation to accept only digits and dashes (“asdf” is not a valid creditcard number)
Allow both button and input elements for cancel buttons (via class=”cancel”)
Fixed #2215: Fixed message display to call unhighlight as part of showing and hiding messages, no more visual side-effects while checking an element and extracted validator.checkForm to validate a form without UI sideeffects

Allow to specify null or an empty string as a message to display nothing (see marketo demo)
Rules overhaul: Now supports combination of rules-option, metadata, classes (new) and attributes (new), see rules() for details

Added validation on blur, keyup and click (for checkboxes and radiobutton). Replaces event-option.
Fixed resetForm
Fixed custom-methods-demo
1.0
Improved number and numberDE methods to check for correct decimal numbers with delimiters
Only elements that have rules are checked (otherwise success-option is applied to all elements)
Added creditcard number method (thanks to Brian Klug)
Added ignore-option, eg. ignore: “[@type=hidden]”, using that expression to exclude elements to validate. Default: none, though submit and reset buttons are always ignored

Accept Functions as messages, providing runtime-custom-messages
Fixed exclusion of elements without rules from successList
Fixed custom-method-demo, replaced the alert with message displaying the number of errors
Fixed form-submit-prevention when using submitHandler
Completely removed dependency on element IDs, though they are still used (when present) to link error labels to inputs. Achieved by using
an array with {name, message, element} instead of an object with id:message pairs for the internal errorList.
Added support for specifying simple rules as simple strings, eg. “required” is equivalent to {required: true}
Added feature: Add errorClass to invalid field�s parent element, making it easy to style the label/field container or the label for the field.

Added success option to show the a field was validated successfully
Fixed Opera select-issue (avoiding a attribute-collision)
Fixed problems with focussing hidden elements in IE
Added feature to skip validation for submit buttons with class “cancel”
Fixed potential issues with Google Toolbar by preferring plugin option messages over title attribute
submitHandler is only called when an actual submit event was handled, validator.form() returns false only for invalid forms

Fixed docs for validator.showErrors()
Fixed error label creation to always use html() instead of text(), allowing arbitrary HTML passed in as messages
Fixed error label creation to use specified error class
Added dependency feature: The requires method accepts both String (jQuery expressions) and Functions as the argument
Heavily improved customizing of error message display: Use normal messages and show/hide an additional container; Completely replace message display with own mechanism (while being able to delegate to the default handler; Customize placing of generated labels (instead of default below-element)
Fixed two major bugs in IE (error containers) and Opera (metadata)
Modified validation methods to accept empty fields as valid (exception: of course �required� and also �equalTo� methods)
Renamed “min” to “minLength”, “max” to “maxLength”, “length” to “rangeLength”
Added “minValue”, “maxValue” and “rangeValue”
Streamlined API for support of different events. The default, submit, can be disabled. If any event is specified, that is applied to each element (instead of the entire form). Combining keyup-validation with submit-validation is now extremely easy to setup
Added support for one-message-per-rule when defining messages via plugin settings
Added support to wrap metadata in some parent element. Useful when metadata is used for other plugins, too.
Refactored tests and demos: Less files, better demos
Improved documentation: More examples for methods, more reference texts explaining some basics
