MathJax v2.7.5 now available

We are happy to officially release MathJax v2.7.5 today.

This is a maintenance release primarily to address a bug in WebKit that can cause the page to crash or some text to be missing in recent versions of Safari. For details on all bug fixes and enhancements, please see below.

This release should be available on all CDN providers, e.g., https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mathjax/2.7.5/MathJax.js which you can load it in place of the version you are currently using (or load latest.js instead of Mathjax.js to get the latest version 2.x, whatever it is, but note that this loads asynchronously, so the MathJax global variable may not be available immediately).

Alternatively, you can get a ZIP archive or access the branch on GitHub.

Thanks for your continuing interest in MathJax. We hope that this release makes your MathJax experience even better.

The MathJax Team.
