Re: Upgrading to jQuery 3.5.1

Hi Guys,

I would also strongly suggest to let the jQuery version selectable, as 
long as it is in expected range.
jQuery is often a base dependency for other js libs used on the client 
side, which may behave little bit differently, depending on the jQuery 
version. jQueryUI does for instance.

regards, Peter
