jQuery in MT 5.1 still at 1.4 - why?

By perlmonkey on May 25, 2011 at 6:28 AM 2 Vote 0 Votes

I saw that jQuery 1.4 is part of MT5.1. Can I simply upgrade to 1.6.1 (the latest) or is that risky?
What was the original reason to go to jQuery 1.4.3 instead of 1.5?

    Hi perlmonkey,
    We were already at the middle of 5.1 QA phase when jQuery 1.5.x was released, and didn't want to redo again with the new version. On the production site, I don't recommend to replace it to 1.6.x since the new 5.1 features heavily depend on jQuery 1.4 API. But I'm very happy if I can hear your feedback of trying to update it in your testing environment :)

    Sounds like a good enough reason to me :)
    I will keep you updated whether I succeed to replace jQuery 1.4 by 1.6 in my tiny test lab.

If you need to share template code, replace all the "<" signs with "&lt;" or use this utility.
