jQuery 1.11.1 RC2 and 2.1.1 RC2 Released
Spring has sprung, and these release candidates for jQuery 1.11.1 and 2.1.1 are in full bloom. You know what that means? It’s time to get serious about testing! We really want our next release to be solid and reliable, and to do that we need your help. Please try out these files in your projects and pages, just a quick test would be appreciated. If you unearth any problems, 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:
