jQuery 2.0 Will Drop Support For IE 6, 7, 8

Posted by Soulskill on from the go-big-or-go-home dept.

benfrog writes "The developers of jQuery recently announced in a blog entry that jQuery 2.0 will drop support for legacy versions of Internet Explorer. The release will come in parallel with version 1.9, however, which will include support for older versions of IE. The versions will offer full API compatibility, but 2.0 will 'benefit from a faster implementation that doesn't have to rely on legacy compatibility hacks.'"

    I don't love anything about IE.  IE is that extra browser I have to load VMware to test stuff in.
