All the aspects of the API that were added, or had a new signature added, in the corresponding version of jQuery.

jQuery 1.5 also includes a large rewrite of the Ajax module, which has a number of extensibility improvements. You can find out more about those improvements in the Extending Ajax documentation.

Additionally jQuery 1.5 includes a new Deferred callback management system you can learn more about in in the Deferred Object documentation.

jQuery.Deferred()

A constructor function that returns a chainable utility object with methods to register multiple callbacks into callback queues, invoke callback queues, and relay the success or failure state of any synchronous or asynchronous function.

jQuery.hasData()

Determine whether an element has any jQuery data associated with it.

jQuery.sub()

Creates a new copy of jQuery whose properties and methods can be modified without affecting the original jQuery object.

jQuery.when()

Provides a way to execute callback functions based on one or more objects, usually Deferred objects that represent asynchronous events.
