Hey guys,

The newest chrome is sending crazy deprecation warnings on some events. Among other things, mousemove. The message says

event.layerX and event.layerY are broken and deprecated in WebKit. They will be removed from the engine in the near future.

This is fixed in jQuery 1.7, though. Any word on when jQ 1.7+ support is coming? I have no problem using an unofficial version from Github (my project isn't live yet).

To reproduce

1. Go to http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.0/ with Chrome
2. Open your JS console
3. Move your mouse around and witness hundreds of warnings :-)

Thanks!
