jQuery 1.11.1 Beta 1 and 2.1.1 Beta 1 Released

---

It’s been a couple of months since our last releases escaped the grip of endless winter, so we thought it would be good to thaw out a beta that collects up the bugs that have been reported and fixed recently. Most of these bugs are mild as severity and frequency go, but that’s easier to say if you’re not impacted!

As with all our beta releases, we make them available so you can test against them and let us know if they fix the bugs without introducing new bugs, surprising behaviors, or regressions. Please help us out by dropping these files into your projects and pages for a quick spin. If you discover any undesirable changes, let us know at bugs.jquery.com.

The beta files are located on the jQuery CDN, you can include them directly from the CDN if you like (but don’t use them in production!). As always, the 1.x branch includes support for IE 6/7/8 and the 2.x branch does not:
