Jquery.js Question
Standard member
2012 vs today...
OK, this might sound a bit dumb but….I got to thinking since I see something in the code editors keep complaining that the installed scripts are outdated.
Should we update these scripts to the latest releases or leave them to be?
Sorry if this sounds like a noob question.

FYI JQuery.js is dated 2012 there are updated versions available that I have researched.

I'll look into this. Updating core libraries like JQuery might become a big mess for v10 and not worth the effort especially since we are on the home stretch for v11 beta (development unfortunately took a massive slow-down as both Chris and I ran into other real-life situations to address).
- Need support for version 10? The core development team is no-longer offering it for free (unless it's a critical bug that breaks your entire site or a serious security hole). Please consider hiring me instead if you need v10 support or a non-critical bug fix. Or, ask the community in the forums!
- Do you enjoy Composr? Please consider contributing your talent to the project or recommending Composr to others. Even small contributions make a big impact in the Composr community.
- Do you have feedback for us? You can report bugs, suggest features, or give feedback on the Free support options page.
- Do you need professional service with your Composr website? Please consider contracting me for your needs through my company, PDStig, LLC. Doing so will also help fund Composr development.
- Want to watch live streams of me developing Composr CMS? Please subscribe to me on Twitch to be notified when I stream. Composr development streams are usually spontaneous / not scheduled in advance as work priorities come first.

If something is outright breaking, or known to be insecure in the real world (*), a tracker issue should be opened.
* There are various jQuery security vulnerabilities but to my knowledge they are very specific rather than something a website user can exploit. If I'm wrong I hope someone will tell us.
We have a process of trying to track and update all our dependencies. There's a permanent tracker issue 0000651: Sync with upstream libraries (dependencies) and with API versions (ongoing) - Composr CMS feature tracker - which references data_custom/third_party_code.csv · v11 · Composr ecosystem / Composr · GitLab

- If not, please let us know how we can do better (please try and propose any bigger ideas in such a way that they are fundable and scalable).
- If so, please let others know about Composr whenever you see the opportunity or support me on Patreon.
- If my reply is too Vulcan or expressed too much in business-strategy terms, and not particularly personal, I apologise. As a company & project maintainer, time is very limited to me, so usually when I write a reply I try and make it generic advice to all readers. I'm also naturally a joined-up thinker, so I always express my thoughts in combined business and technical terms. I recognise not everyone likes that, don't let my Vulcan-thinking stop you enjoying Composr on fun personal projects.
- If my response can inspire a community tutorial, that's a great way of giving back to the project as a user.
