jQuery 1.12.1 and 2.2.1 Released

Posted on by

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.
