Higher version number doesn't necessarily mean less bugs; if the newer version has new features or functions, it could well introduce more bugs than it fixed.

That's what beta-versions are for I guess, but you are right. Anyway I still encourages keeping websites up-to-date with -let's say- the latest safe release.

Well, that is what I am attempting right now. The problem is, I cannot afford any problems when this goes live.

You should use something like: only use jQuery 1.7 when the GET var 'v'=="on" or something. Like this only you would use the page with the new version, for testing purposes. Or if you want to be absolutely certain, you can search for every command's possible compatibility issue, but that's really a lots of work to do. O.o

So you are seriously suggestion to test something like this on a production system? On a development system you could simply update jQuery and test - no need for odd GET variables to select the jQuery version.
