To be clear: jQuery 1.x and 2.x are the exact same except for IE < 9 compatibility. jQuery v1.11.3 and v2.1.4, released simultaneously, _are_ the latest version of jQuery. It's not like "1.11.x" is an "old" release series. 1.x and 2.x have the exact same features and API and are 100% compatible with each other. The _only_ difference is that v2.1.4 is slightly smaller because it doesn't have shims to support IE6-8 (and a few other old browsers).
The only advantage to switching to 2.x is a slightly smaller file size, meaning a slightly quicker load time. In a few months, they'll switch to 3.x, breaking some backwards compatibility, and instead of 2.x and 1.x, they'll have "jQuery" and "jQuery Compat" with the same version numbers. That should make this more clear. http://blog.jquery.com/2015/07/13/jquery-3-0-and-jquery-compat-3-0-alpha-versions-released/ I personally suggest staying with jQuery Compat (1.x) through this next LTS cycle. The file size is really not that much, and it shouldn't be any extra work to maintain. https://mathiasbynens.be/demo/jquery-size -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers (Contributions to Django itself)" group.
