Hi,

There's a stale copy of jquery-1.11.0.min.js in web/jquery. It is disabled in web/js.inc.
Is that wanted or just a leftover ?

Regards,
Xavier

    It's not actually disabled, but in conditional comments and used if the browser is IE8 or less, as jQuery 2 and 3 only support IE9 and higher. So I think it should remain.

    However, at the same time I'm wondering whether we should drop support for IE8 now altogether?

    Both JQuery 1.x and IE 8 are not supported anymore, so I'd say yes.

    And nor is XP, but it's remarkable how many systems out there are still running XP! We've been keeping support for IE8 in up and until now as it's been relatively easy to do, but it's now getting more and more difficult to support it. I think I'll start a discussion on the MRBS-general mailing list to see if there are significant objections to dropping it.

    This file was removed in the 1.7.0 release. Support for IE9 and below has now been dropped.
