Why does jQuery stop working after precompiling if I mess with js files in assets?

I created new.js in assets/javascripts/ and added this into views/layouts/application.html.erb

<%= javascript_include_tag 'new.js' %>

Then I executed

bundle exec rake assets:precompile RAILS_ENV=production

After this, jQuery stops working.
What could be the cause of this and how would I fix it?

UPDATE:

application.js

// This is a manifest file that'll be compiled into application.js, which will include all the files
// listed below.
//
// Any JavaScript/Coffee file within this directory, lib/assets/javascripts, vendor/assets/javascripts,
// or vendor/assets/javascripts of plugins, if any, can be referenced here using a relative path.
//
// It's not advisable to add code directly here, but if you do, it'll appear at the bottom of the
// the compiled file.
//
// WARNING: THE FIRST BLANK LINE MARKS THE END OF WHAT'S TO BE PROCESSED, ANY BLANK LINE SHOULD
// GO AFTER THE REQUIRES BELOW.
//
//= require jquery
//= require jquery-ui
//= require twitter/bootstrap
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require jquery.ui.datepicker
//= require autocomplete-rails

If you want to include this script separetelly, then you should add it to your environment configuration.

config.assets.precompile += %w{ new.js }
