jQuery "selector" property deprecated?

jQuery "selector" property deprecated?

Hello all,

I understand that this property has been deprecated in 1.7. and still is?

It's still widely used, very powerful and generic.

I'm contemplating, whether to use it in my plugin... (at the moment, I don't depend on it)

Obviously, if jQuery is serious about dropping it soon, there's no point in that, right?

Or is there going to be a substitute / recommended workaround?


Thanks in advance and kind regards
