Recommended release labelled stable breaks entire site

Problem/Motivation

Installing the 7.x-2.7 release labelled "Stable release covered by the Drupal Security Team" breaks the whole site.

The issue is all the more dangerous since the status and module pages show all modules up-to-date and zero errors. But the entire site is now broken.

Steps to reproduce

Doing a Drush Update kept marking the Alpha release as Unsupported but would not update to a stable version.

Manually updating to the stable version made the drush error go away, but broke all JavaScript on the entire site and for all themes.

Apache restarts, Clearing Caches and Rebuilding Registry etc made no difference.

Proposed resolution

Remove the 7.x-2.7 release from the project page, or at least mark it as not supported.

    7.x-2.7 has (finally) been marked as unsupported.

    Releases from the 7.x-4.x branch are the only Supported versions of the module with coverage from the Drupal Security Team.

    7.x-4.1 is the current release.

    As noted above, sites that are running older versions should be able to update via drush by running a command like:

    $ drush up jquery_update-7.x-4.1
    

    After switching to the 7.x-4.x branch, Drupal / drush's "available updates" functionality should work as usual.
