Kevin Brown b4a44ccfdf Adjusted the home page text
This adds the final box, which I've chosen to be for the browser
support (though that can be changed).

The last two boxes on the first row have also been swapped, partially
because the text sizes now match the second row, but also because
the AJAX support should be more prominent than the theme support.

<h2>
Getting started with Select2
</h2>
<p>
In order to use Select2, you must include the JavaScript and CSS file on
your website. You can get these files built for you from many different
locations.
</p>
<h3>
Using Select2 from a CDN
</h3>
<p>
Select2 is hosted on both the
<a href="https://cdnjs.com/libraries/select2">cdnjs</a> and
<a href="http://www.jsdelivr.com/#!select2">jsDelivr</a> CDNs, allowing
you to quickly include Select2 on your website.
</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>
Include the following lines of code in the <code>&lt;head&gt;</code>
section of your HTML.
</p>
<pre class="code prettyprint">
&lt;link href="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/select2/4.0.0/css/select2.min.css" rel="stylesheet" /&gt;
&lt;script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/select2/4.0.0/js/select2.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
</pre>
<div class="alert alert-info">
<i class="fa fa-info-circle"></i>
Immediately following a new release, it takes some time for CDNs to
catch up and get the new versions live on the CDN.
</div>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Initialize Select2 on the <code>&lt;select&gt;</code> element that you
want to make awesome.
</p>
<pre class="code prettyprint">
&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
$('select').select2();
&lt;/script&gt;
</pre>
</li>
<li>
Check out the <a href="examples.html">examples page</a> to start using
the additional features of Select2.
</li>
</ol>
<h3>
Downloading the code locally
</h3>
<p>
In some situations, you can't use Select2 from a CDN and you must include
the files through your own static file servers.
</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>
<a href="https://github.com/select2/select2/tags">
Download the code
</a>
from GitHub and copy the <code>dist</code> directory to your project.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Include the following lines of code in the <code>&lt;head&gt;</code>
section of your HTML.
</p>
<pre class="code prettyprint">
&lt;link href="path/to/select2.min.css" rel="stylesheet" /&gt;
&lt;script src="path/to/select2.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
</pre>
</li>
<li>

<h2>
The different Select2 builds
</h2>
<p>
Select2 provides multiple builds that are tailored to different
environments where it is going to be used. If you think you need to use
Select2 in a nonstandard environment, like when you are using AMD, you
should read over the list below.
</p>
<table class="table table-bordered table-striped">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Build name</th>
<th>When you should use it</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr id="builds-standard">
<td>
Standard (<code>select2.js</code> / <code>select2.min.js</code>)
</td>
<td>
This is the build that most people should be using for Select2. It
includes the most commonly used features.
</td>
</tr>
<tr id="builds-full">
<td>
Full (<code>select2.full.js</code> / <code>select2.full.min.js</code>)
</td>
<td>
You should only use this build if you need the additional features
from Select2, like the
<a href="options.html#compatibility">compatibility modules</a> or
recommended includes like
<a href="https://github.com/jquery/jquery-mousewheel">jquery.mousewheel</a>
</td>
