Manipulation methods no longer auto-close tags.
Previously, the jQuery.htmlPrefilter() method, used internally by jQuery's manipulation methods, transformed HTML in a way that could change its semantics by adding closing HTML tags. For example, it transformed jQuery('<i class="icon" />') to the XHTML-compliant jQuery('<i class="icon"></i>). Similarly, jQuery('<i ... /><div>...</div>') was transformed to jQuery('<i ...></i><div>...</div>').
Due to security considerations (CVE-2020-11022), this behavior has been altered so that now the HTML retains its original semantics per the HTML specification. For example, jQuery('<i ... /><div>...</div>') would be equivalent to jQuery('<i ...><div>...</div></i>'). For more details, see the release notes for jQuery v3.5.0, where this change was backported from.
In order to avoid unexpected behavior in your applications, you need to ensure that non-void elements are properly closed when passed to jQuery's manipulation methods.
```
// Before:
jQuery('<i ... />');
jQuery('<i ... /><div>...</div>');

// After:
jQuery('<i ...></i>');
jQuery('<i ...></i><div>...</div>');
```
