Detailed Explanation on Major Versions
Version 1.0 was the first stable release of jQuery. This release supports older web browsers that aren't even supported by their respective developers any longer. If you expect a large amount of visitors with older web browsers, this would definitely be the version to go for.
Versions 2.0 dropped support for Internet Explorer 6-8 to increase jQuery's overall performance and reduce the library's filesize. In simple words: Version 2.0 is faster and smaller in filesize than version 1.0, but it no longer supports older web browsers. Since Microsoft dropped the support for Windows XP, it's reasonably safe to assume that your visitors will be using a browser compatibile with version 2.0 unless you know beforehand this won't be the case (see version 1.0).
随着版本3.0的发布,版本1.11.1和2.1.1都将升级到jQuery Compat 3.0和jQuery 3.0.jQuery Compat 3.0仍将支持Internet Explorer 8等较旧的浏览器,而常规版本3.0将只支持evergreen浏览器(特定浏览器的当前和以前版本).
随着版本3.0的发布,没有理由坚持使用版本1.0或2.0.来自jQuery官方博客的几点注释:
- 如果您需要支持包括IE8在内的各种浏览器,
- 如果您的网站仅为长荣的领先浏览器而构建,或者
- 除非我们另行宣布,否则两个包将包含相同的内容
