Motivation

Security Enhancements

Older versions of jQuery have known vulnerabilities that pose potential security risks, such as cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, and other. Version 3.6.0 addresses these vulnerabilities, ensuring better protection for your system. This is increasingly critical in today's threat landscape, where maintaining strong security measures is paramount.

Improved Browser Compatibility

While older versions of jQuery may still function with modern browsers, version 3.6.0 has been tested and optimized for compatibility with the latest browser updates. The update ensures a more stable and consistent user experience, especially as browsers continue to evolve.

Bug fixes

Each jQuery update includes numerous bug fixes for issues found in previous versions. Updating to 3.6.0 minimizes the chance of encountering known issues, reducing maintenance costs and the likelihood of user-reported bugs.

Performance improvements

jQuery 3.6.0 includes optimizations that can enhance performance across different browsers and devices. This can lead to faster load times and more efficient DOM manipulations, improving overall user experience.

What to Expect

• Gradual rollout: The upgrade is applied first to lower environments to allow for testing and validation. Production systems will be updated within two weeks after this phase.
• Editor notifications: A notification will appear in the editor application giving you visibility into the process. Note that all your systems will be upgraded once the notification is displayed.
• Seamless update: The upgrade is designed to take place behind the scenes, with minimal disruption to your workflow.
