jQuery 1.12.1 and 2.2.1 Released
As the jQuery team prepares for a 3.0 final release, we continue to maintain the 1.12 and 2.2 branches. These two patch releases fix a few bugs and improve stability. The most significant bug fix involved a problem with the .position() method, which affected how jQuery UI tooltips were positioned in Internet Explorer.
We do not expect this release to have any breaking changes, but if you do encounter bugs in upgrading from the previous version, please let us know.

Thank you! Such a great timing for our current project!
Thanks for the update, and the work by those that have contributed to this great project over the years. I am curious to how the jQuery performs on a mobile browser right now. Are the references in the above comments towards performance referring to a browser on desktop/laptop computer or mobile browser? Where is a good place to test the performance for jQuery on your own?
Oh yeah, Awesome! Thank you very much blog jquery
… and today I’m wondering what the future is for jQuery. I have stopped using it two years ago, when we dropped support for IE8. There is no londer need to use it for DOM manipulation (the browser DOM api is enough) and for other tasks sometimes I resort to lodash. Current frameworks no longer use it either… I don’t miss it, and neither do most of my peer developers.
Ok. Thank you! Great update for the current project’s us!
Thanks for the upgrade!
Looks like there are a ton of positive changes coming to jQuery Mobile – good work guys
It’s been more than a week, and the Google CDN still doesn’t have the new versions. Any insights?
Great stuff, thanks for all the hard work guys! I’ll keep a lookout for any bugs encounter.
