## 4.0.0


This builds upon [the second release candidate](https://github.com/select2/select2/tree/4.0.0-rc.2), **so review all previous release notes** before upgrading from previous versions of Select2.

### Supported environments
- jQuery 1.7.2+
- Modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari)
- Internet Explorer 8+

### New features
- Fully compatible with AMD and UMD based loaders.
- Advanced plugin system that [uses custom adapters](https://select2.org/advanced/adapters-and-decorators).
- Full support for `jQuery.noConflict`.
- A `<select>` is the recommended element and [can be used for all options](https://select2.org/upgrading/migrating-from-35#no-more-hidden-input-tags).  There is limited backwards-compatible support for the `<input>` element in [full builds](https://select2.org/getting-started/builds-and-modules).
- [Declarative configuration through `data-*` attributes](https://select2.org/configuration/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.

### Breaking changes
- Select2 now uses the MIT license
- [The full build](https://select2.org/getting-started/builds-and-modules) 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.](https://github.com/select2/select2/commit/003d6053a9fff587c688008397e7d5824463fe99)
- jQuery is no longer listed as a dependency in the `bower.json`/`component.json` files.
- [`<select>` has replaced `<input type="hidden" />`](https://select2.org/upgrading/migrating-from-35#no-more-hidden-input-tags) for **all options** (_including remote data_)
- The [`matcher` has been revamped](https://select2.org/upgrading/migrating-from-35#advanced-matching-of-searches) to include full context, a compatibility module (`select2/compat/matcher`) has been created
- The [display always reflects the order](https://select2.org/upgrading/migrating-from-35#display-reflects-the-actual-order-of-the-values) 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 the `ClickMask` (`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](https://select2.org/getting-started/builds-and-modules) 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.
