Bootstrap versions and browser compatibility

We are currently developing an application that will have to run on older corporate PCs that still have IE6 installed.

I have been looking around a bit, but I cannot find a clear answer for the following: is there a link where different bootstrap versions are paired to the corresponding supported browser versions?

For example:

Bootstrap 1.1 supports IE 6 and up, Chrome, FF, ... Bootstrap 2.1 supports IE 7 and up, Chrome, FF, ...

Here is the link to the official docs for Bootstrap versions: http://bootstrapdocs.com/

Looking at Browser support for Bootstrap 1.1.0 it says Internet Explorer 7+. The docs for the earlier version v 1.0.0 (which was the first public release) doesn't even mention supported browsers. You can check if more recent version added support for IE6, but I don't think so. I also discourage using an old version at all.

If you can chose another framework I'd suggest YAML, it is actively maintained, well documented and supports IE6, too.
