jQuery 2.0 has been released!
Wow this is some exciting news. jQuery is a fantastic javascript library that enables developers from all walks of life. But before you jump in all guns-a-blazin’ to attack some code with jQuery 2.0, you should take note of the supported browsers.
jQuery 2.0 drops support for IE 6, IE 7, and IE 8
As promised, this version leaves behind the older Internet Explorer 6, 7, and 8 browsers.
I first picked up this insight from @jeresig on Twitter.
As a developer I do welcome the exile of older version of IE. However, this does create potential cross browser support issues if you don’t know your intended audience / platform. Like John states in his Tweet,
Context matters!
