$.trim() in jQuery 1.4a1 strips out embedded newlines

[JeremyRuston]

I think the regexp for $.trim() has been broken. It seems to remove all white space, not just that at the start and end.

The old code was:

return (text || "").replace( /^\s+|\s+$/g, "" );

The equivalent regexp in the new code is:

rtrim = /(\s|\u00A0)+|(\s|\u00A0)+$/g,

It looks like we've lost a caret
