Alfresco jquery version

[hardik_thakkar]

Hi,

Please let me know jQuery version used in Alfresco Community 5.2.f & 6 edition.

It seems that 1.11.x version is used and if we want to upgrade that, is it possible?

Where to find supported stack?

Thanks in advance!

The Alfresco supported stack does not list any compatibilities with different versions of low-level libraries bundled with Alfresco, as Alfresco does not intend for community members, partners, customers or end-users to switch them out for newer versions at all. The general supported platforms information can be found in the corresponding section of the web site: https://www.alfresco.com/services/subscription/supported-platforms

Technically speaking, yes, it is possible to upgrade versions of (some) libraries, but it ususally is quite a tricky and risky process. With jQuery in mind, you'd need to find and remove/replace any references to older versions in hundreds of FreeMarker templates (using the <@script> directive or plain <script> HTML markup), and override the default Aikau AMD package mapping (e.g. https://github.com/Alfresco/Aikau/blob/develop/aikau/src/main/resources/extension-module/aikau-exten...). And then of course you'd need to test all UI functionality and fix any issues that come up yourself.
