- Minimum required version of jQuery is now 1.7. This is because the events are now attached using
.on
instead of.bind
. The former is not available in jQuery prior to 1.7.

Unit tests — thanks to James Allardice.
-
Binding is now optional — thanks to Tanner M Young.
.validateCreditCard( [options] )
Called on an input field validates the number and returns a
result
object. -
Ability to pass an array of accepted credit cards — thanks to gabrieljoelc.
$('#cc_number').validateCreditCard({ accept: ['visa', 'mastercard'] })
-
this
variable in the context of callback refers to the input element the validation is bound to.$('#cc_number').validateCreditCard(function() { console.log(this.val()) })
The code above will log the value of the credit card number field to the console every time the value changes.
-
The result object now includes a
valid
property which is a shorthand forlength_valid && luhn_valid
-
The library is now in Bower.
- Events are now namespaced. This prevents accidental unbinding of events attached by other plugins.
-
Added a basic example of usage (in the
example
directory). -
MIT licence.
It’s much clearer than any other licences. It means you can use jQuery CC Validator in any way you want as long as you include the copyright notice and licence text (found at the top of the source file).
jQuery Credit Card Validator was released three years before turning 1.0. It had gone through a lot of changes but wasn’t versioned so everything pre-1.0 is to be treated as alpha.
