Suggested topic for the dev meeting: jQuery (another attempt ;-) )
I'm still working on wiping out the usage of deprecated functions in core, wherever possible.
See https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop-issues/issues/6248 re last findings.
However, a recent core commit (cherry-picked from Drupal) introduces one. In a way, that might not even be necessary for us (with jQuery 3), but will be necessary with jQuery 4.
There's an experimental PR that incorporates jQuery 4 beta. It adds a bc layer for 3rd party plugins, that rely on functions removed from v4.
https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop-issues/issues/6404
So what should we do with that weird "$.parseJSON" function fallback in jquery-forms plugin?
Thanks @indigoxela! We'll cover that in today's meeting.
