jQuery 4.0.0 has been in the works for a long time, but it is now ready for a beta release! There’s a lot to cover, and the team is excited to see it released. We’ve got bug fixes, performance improvements, and some breaking changes. We removed support for IE<11 after all! Still, we expect disruption to be minimal. Many of the breaking changes are ones the team has wanted to make for years, but co

jQuery 3.6.1 has been released! It’s been a while since our previous release. We were looking at fixing some elusive edge cases related to focus and blur, but we never quite got the fix right. If there’s any area of jQuery that’s hard to change, it’s likely related to focus somehow. We’re leaving those as-is for now and will address them in the future, especially since the changes may end up warra

To usher in the new year, the jQuery team has been hard at work on 2 new releases: jQuery 1.12.0 and 2.2.0! These releases include lots of bug fixes and improvements to make your cross-browser development experience better. We anticipate this to be the last releases for the 1.x and 2.x branches before we release jQuery 3.0. Since jQuery 3.0 will have some breaking changes, we will continue to supp

It’s been a long time since we did a major release, and you certainly deserve one. So we’re glad to announce the first alpha of jQuery 3.0! Despite the 3.0 version number, we anticipate that these releases shouldn’t be too much trouble when it comes to upgrading existing code. Yes, there are a few breaking changes that justified the major version bump, but we’re hopeful these breakages don’t actua

Here we are again. It’s too late for April Fools, so you can believe us when we tell you that we have two new patch releases for you: jQuery 1.11.3 and 2.1.4. These releases include a hot-fix for a rare bug in iOS 8.2 and 8.3. This is the only change. As with 1.11.2 and 2.1.3, we do not anticipate any issues when upgrading. However, if you do encounter bugs in upgrading from the previous versions,

It’s hard to believe it’s been nearly eight years since jQuery was released. Web development has changed a lot over the years, and jQuery has changed along with it. Through all of this time, the team has tried to walk the line between maintaining compatibility with code from the past versus supporting the best web development practices of the present. One of those best practices is semantic versio

Earlier this week the jQuery CDN had an issue that made the jquery-latest.js and jquery-latest.min.js files unavailable for a few hours in some geographical areas. (This wasn’t a problem with the CDN itself, but with the repository that provides files for the CDN.) While we always hope to have 100% uptime, this particular outage emphasized the number of production sites following the antipattern o

Ah, the air is sweet with the scent of spring and new jQuery 1.11.1 and 2.1.1 are in bloom. These are minor patch releases and shouldn’t pose any major compatibility issues. Throw a Cinco de Mayo party and have your friends come over to test. If you dig up a problem, let us know at bugs.jquery.com, and be sure to provide a simple test case using jsfiddle.net or jsbin.com to demonstrate the problem

With Microsoft ending Windows XP support this month, we’re giving the jQuery community some long-lead-time notice on changes to browser support. First of all, don’t panic! Nothing is really changing with respect to the browsers that can run jQuery for at least six more months. Our goal is to let everyone in the web development community know what the jQuery team intends to do over the next year, s

Here in the eastern part of the United States, we’re huddling in subzero temperatures and dealing with the aftermath of a snowstorm. Still, there’s nothing to brighten our moods like the pristine beauty of a freshly fallen release–no, make that TWO releases. jQuery 1.11.0 and 2.1.0 are ready to keep you warm on these dark winter nights. You can get the files off our CDN as always, and either use t

Ahoy Matey! Do you know what today is? It’s Talk Like a Pirate Day! Before the jQuery team weighed anchor and ran for the grog, we left a treasure chest on the jQuery CDN filled with beta versions of jQuery 1.11 and 2.1. Here be the treasure map to the bounty: http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0-beta1.js http://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.0-beta1.js Don’t forget that jQuery 1.x supports IE 6/7/8 a

It’s a wonderful day for a software release. Such a wonderful day, we’re doing two software releases! Today it’s jQuery 1.10.0 and jQuery 2.0.1 making their debut — five years to the day after jQuery 1.2.6 was released. A simultaneous release isn’t always easy, but it can be very satisfying. The team is certainly satisfied with this duo of deliveries; those of you who have already upgraded to the

You asked for it, you got it: jQuery 2.0 has arrived! As promised, this version leaves behind the older Internet Explorer 6, 7, and 8 browsers. In return it is smaller, faster, and can be used in JavaScript environments where the code needed for old-IE compatibility often causes problems of its own. But don’t worry, the jQuery team still supports the 1.x branch which does run on IE 6/7/8. You can

They say good things come to those who wait, and today we’re happy to end the waiting and unveil the jQuery Plugin Registry. We’ve worked long and hard to put together a brand new site that will serve to reduce the fragmentation and distribution problems that can be obstacles for plugin developers and consumers. We’ve also put an emphasis on remedying a number of the issues that plagued the old jQ

jQuery 1.9 final, jQuery 2.0 beta, Migrate final released Are you sitting down? Well sit down, in front of your computer, and start downloading. We have several new jQuery releases for you to test. For your convenience, jQuery can even be downloaded while standing. First up are the final versions of jQuery 1.9 and jQuery Migrate 1.0. We think these releases are pretty solid, because very few of yo

August just got a little hotter, because jQuery 1.8 final code is here! You can pick up the code from jQuery’s CDN: http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.0.min.js (compressed and minified, for production) http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.0.js (uncompressed, for debugging) As usual, the Google and Microsoft CDNs will also have the file soon. Please don’t ask us about when they’ll be there, we don’t kn

Please check out the followup post before jumping to the wrong conclusion. As the last blog post discussed, jQuery version 1.8 is undergoing a spring cleaning to remove insecure, inefficient, ineffective, and inadvisable features. We’ve also begun the work to allow you to build custom versions that exclude parts of the library for even greater savings. Those efforts will make it possible for you t

Hello fellow jQuery users! It’s been a while since you’ve heard from us, but we haven’t been asleep. The jQuery Core Team has been heads-down working on jQuery 1.8, and our first beta release is now available! You can get the code from the jQuery CDN: http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8b1.js Give it a try on your current jQuery code and let us know how it works for you. If you experience issues, ple

jQuery 1.7.2 is looking good! The release candidate went smoothly so we’ve made only one small change and are releasing it to your eager hands today. You can get the oven-fresh code from the jQuery CDN now, with Google and Microsoft CDNs soon to follow: http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7.2.min.js (minified, production) http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7.2.js (unminified, debug) Note: If you’re using
