Remember that jQuery supports multiple browsers and their versions; any contributed code must work in all of them. You can refer to the [browser support page](http://jquery.com/browser-support/) for the current list of supported browsers.
-Note that browser support differs depending on whether you are targeting the `master` or `1.x-master` branch.
+Note that browser support differs depending on whether you are targeting the `master` or `compat` branch.
Environments in which to use jQuery
--------------------------------------
-- [Browser support](http://jquery.com/browser-support/) differs between the master (2.x) branch and the 1.x-master branch. Specifically, 2.x does not support legacy browsers such as IE6-8. The jQuery team continues to provide support for legacy browsers on the 1.x-master branch. Use the latest 1.x release if support for those browsers is required. See [browser support](http://jquery.com/browser-support/) for more info.
-- To use jQuery in Node, browser extensions, and other non-browser environments, use only **2.x** releases. 1.x does not support these environments.
