I need to update jQuery 1.7.1 to the latest 2.x version. The target application contains too many scripts/plugins which should be carefully revisited to handle those breaking changes that happened though the years. However, I do not remember all those "breaking" changes, so I thought maybe someone could point me to the right direction. For example, this document lists the deprecated functions which helps a lot but it's not enough yet.
Please note that I'm not going to target IE6/7/8 so I insist on upgrading to the latest 2.x version. Any strategy, check list or information to ease "the pain" is highly appreciated.
Have a look at this Sitepoint post as it is a higher level explanation of the changes than just the API. These are summarised as:
There are a huge amount of changes, but if you aren't interested in IE6/7/8, this should be fine.
