This builds upon the second release candidate, so review all previous release notes before upgrading from previous versions of Select2.
- jQuery 1.7.2+
- Modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari)
- Internet Explorer 8+
- Fully compatible with AMD and UMD based loaders.
- Advanced plugin system that uses custom adapters.
- Full support for
jQuery.noConflict
. - A
<select>
is the recommended element and can be used for all options. There is limited backwards-compatible support for the<input>
element in full builds. - Declarative configuration through
data-*
attributes - Easy to configure theme system and new default theme
- You can use more specific locales (like
en-US
) and Select2 will be able to determine what translation files to load.
- Select2 now uses the MIT license
- The full build of Select2 no longer includes jQuery - You must include jQuery separately on your page.
- Select2 will prevent the inner scrolling of modals (and other scrollable containers) when it is open to prevent the UI from breaking. Read more at the commit.
- jQuery is no longer listed as a dependency in the
bower.json
/component.json
files. <select>
has replaced<input type="hidden" />
for all options (including remote data)- The
matcher
has been revamped to include full context, a compatibility module (select2/compat/matcher
) has been created - The display always reflects the order data is sent to the server
- The click mask is no longer the default (again). You can get back the old functionality by wrapping your
selectionAdapter
with theClickMask
(select2/selection/clickMask
) decorator. - Select2 no longer stops the propagation of events happening within the dropdown and selection. You can use the
StopPropagation
modules available in the full builds to prevent this. [https://github.com/select2/select2/commit/8f8140e3b00c5d5bb232455137c4c633d7da4275] - The enter key no longer toggles the state of multiple select items in the results, but instead will only select them. Use CTRL + Space instead to toggle the state. [https://github.com/select2/select2/commit/017c20109471fa5b835603faf5dc37f7c2c2ea45]
- Warnings will now be triggered in the developer console if Select2 detects an unsupported configuration.
- The default value of the
width
option has been changed fromstyle
toresolve
. - The
copy
value for thewidth
option has been renamed tostyle
