I may be mistaken, but the source on odyniec's website seems to be ver 0.9.10, and I'm not sure if there are other forks that are out there that have a solid base for production code. I spent quite some time trying to integrate the multi select fork, but there were just too many shortcuts taken in the original design to get it to work durably. Polluting the DOM has been discussed, the use of global variables and side effects make it difficult to extend as assumptions get broken arbitrarily. For example, the notion of delete doesn't exist, it hides instead, but the multiselect fork deleted except for the last one, making composing with any kind of binding layer too complicated to rely on. Is anyone interested in spinning up an effort to refactor the base and add some of the top feature requests, maybe adding a binding layer, adding it to definitelytyped.com, etc?

I went using Jcrop, much better.
