JQuery 2.0 Drops Support for IE6/7/8; API-Compatible with jQuery 1.9.
Sorry, but this is a disaster.
Dropping support for IE6 may be OK, IE7 is a bit too soon, but IE8?<p>I haven't tested my stuff on IE6 and IE7 for a long time, but I still do it on IE8 everyday. It was released in 2009! And it's decent enough, PNG transparencies, etc.<p>jQuery's main raison d'être might have gone out the window.
