Fixed a bug that would occur when the mask characters match the criteria of the first placeholder character(s). The mask characters would end up repeated as user input.

Fixed a bug where the buffer wasn’t being cleared properly, causing characters that had been shifted to be duplicated.

• Fixed a bug in Mac Firefox with backspacing.
• Fixed a bug where delete at end of mask produced an extra
  placeholder character.
• Exposed the caret positioning and retrieval methods as a jQuery
  function extension. You can now call $().caret() to get a caret
  position and $().caret(start [,end]) to set a caret position.

* NEW FEATURE: unmask() method to remove masking for a previously masked input.
* Safari cursor position fix.
* Cursor position behavior change: Cursor goes to the end of the input on a completed input. Cursor goes to the first placeholder position on a blank input.
* Fixed improper escaping of certain mask characters.
* Code refactoring to reduce size and complexity.

This release just has some minor cosmetic code changes.

This release just has some minor cosmetic code changes.

• BREAKING CHANGE: The mask function has been changed to more closely match the style of the jQuery library. Instead of calling .maskedinput(), you will need to call .mask(). Additionally the .AddMaskDefinition() has been moved to a namespace and renamed. Instead, you should make a call to .mask.addPlaceholder().
• Fixed a bug where the buffer was wiped when text was selected and a non-typeable character was pressed.
• Fixed a bug where the buffer was not cleared, but the text was when pressing the escape key.
• More code cleanup.

• Now supports user defined placeholder characters by calling “$.AddMaskDefinition(char,regex)” .
• Fixed a bug where backspace from the first character position deleted the mask.
• General code cleanup.

• Corrected the kludgey syntax for the optional mask completed function. You no longer need to pass an argument to your function to gain access to the input making the call. You can now simply reference “this”. Please see the above corrected example.

* Fixed a Safari issue where backspace deleted wrong characters and messed up cursor position.
* Fixed an issue where pre-filled input (value=”something”) was deleted on focus.
