[RFC] Update jQuery included in 3.1 to 1.11.0

[Louis7777]

What do you think about using the newly released jQuery 1.11.1?

+1 , especially because I have OCD and I'd like all digits to be 1

I don't see how we could refuse. Flawless logic.

[Louis7777]

Ressurecting this because of something that I've noticed.

From http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_unescape.asp

The unescape() function was deprecated in JavaScript version 1.5. Use decodeURI() or decodeURIComponent() instead.

We use that to load jQuery from a local directory in case that the google CDN is not available:

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript">window.jQuery || document.write(unescape('%3Cscript src="./assets/javascript/jquery.min.js?assets_version=1713" type="text/javascript"%3E%3C/script%3E'));</script>

Should we replace unescape()?

[MattF]

It can actually be written:

Code: Select all

<script>window.jQuery || document.write('<script src="./assets/javascript/jquery.min.js?assets_version=1713"><\/script>');</script>

This is how HTML5BoilerPlate has promoted doing it for over the past 3 years.
There was some resistance to this simpler form here for some reason before, I think it had something to do with XML. But I don't know if we are past that now or what.

Ticket to change it? or not worth it?

[MattF]

At least change unescape to one of the decodeURI methods.

Worth it

Does jQuery use semver?
