You don't have to upgrade to every version that is released, unless your product is affected by a fixed bug (or performance improvement). jQuery isn't exactly a system library that could have a security hole making your web server exploitable remotely.

Unless of course "VWO" (you should provide a link or descriptive text when mentioning a TLA we might not recognise, BTW) is somehow sensitive to what version other people use on their sites so you have to test against all versions.

Sorry, I should have mentioned. VWO stands for our product Visual Website Optimizer. We internally prefer VWO over the full name since it is long and it kind of slipped while I was writing the comment.

You are right that we don't have to upgrade to every version but as you say performance improvement is sometimes very significant so we feel compelled to upgrade.
