Attention Web developers: Get ready for what soon will be the only version of the jQuery JavaScript library available. Version 3.0 of the widely used library has moved to a release candidate stage.
“When released, jQuery 3.0 will become the only version of jQuery,” jQuery core lead Timmy Willison said. “The 1.12 and 2.2 branches will continue to receive critical support patches for a while but will not get any new features or major revisions.” The upgrade will not support versions 6 through 8 of the Internet Explorer browser, he added.
