jQuery 1.2.5 is available only after one day of jQuery's 1.2.4 release. jQuery 1.2.4 was a bad build probably. There were some patches missing and difference was small compared to the list of bugs fixed.
There is a huge bunch of tickets which is closed. Here is the list of tickets closed for jQuery 1.2.4 or 1.2.5. There were many browser compatibilities related issues and some are performance related and core improvements.
Good to see that our favourite Javascript framework is becoming more and more mature day by day.

Hi All,
jQuery team is on the roll and jQuery 1.2.6 is out.
Congratulations to them…!
But it seems to me that few things have changed in a way that my web application has crashed when I tried to upgrade my web-application.
I have used jQuery extensively in my web app and it seems to me that it crashes with both 1.2.5 and 1.2.6.
It looks to me like $.inArray has changed its operations internally and so it is giving me some unexpected results.
May be I might be using it in some different way but with older version of jQuery 1.2.3 my application rolls too well.
When I tried with simple example it gave me same output for both version, I will find out little later when I will get some time to digg-in and find out what really went wrong with my approach and the upgrade.
