jQuery 1.7 is now available and also jQuey Mobile 1.0
jQuery adds several new features and also tries to keep old API available as long as possible.
As a result, the code size is growing: +220KB uncompressed and +30KB minified and gzipped!
The development team announced some optimization to remove unsed code for the next version.
Beside, a fork project has been annoucing working on a more modular delivery for jQuery library.
The jQuip (jQuery In Parts) project can be followed and modules downloaded here:

Core features of jQuery (80%) would be available in a “less than 5KB” javascript library!
That sounds great!
