Hi Gili,
*JERSEY* 2.x branch exists for a long time now. If you look into the pom
(or maven central), you'll notice that *JERSEY* 2.1 was released on Jul
18, 2013 [1].
Comment for the other paragraph - that's almost what I wrote, the
difference is that *JERSEY* 2.26+ (not 2.26.x) will be based on *JAX-RS*
2.1.
There is no "2.1" branch. Only "2.x", "2.25.x" and "master" are
mentioned in the announcement.
I hope it is clearer now.
Best regards,
Pavel
