[Developers] freebase-suggest 0.3 (jquery plugin)

[Dae Park]

We've been holding off on releasing a new version of the freebase- 
suggest plugin until jquery-1.2.2 was out. Well, jquery-1.2.2 is  
official, so here it is:

http://code.google.com/p/freebase-suggest/

Some changes/enhancements include:

- using the "prefix" parameter (instead of the "query" parameter) to  
the FreebaseAPISearch (http://code.google.com/p/freebase-suggest/wiki/ 
FreebaseAPISearch)

- the selection events are now 'fb-select' and 'fb-select- 
new' ('suggest' and 'suggest-new' will be deprecated in the near future)

- A new freebaseSelect plugin for getting a finite set of instances  
of a certain type which is equivalent to the html <select/> element.  
For example, if you wish to list all 50 States in your drop down, you  
could use the freebaseSelect plugin:

$("#myinput").freebaseSelect({type:"/location/us_state", limit: 50})
              .bind('fb-select', function(e, data) { console.log 
('select: ', data.id); })
