why is jQuery 3.3.1 not used in many jQuery UI demos?

in Using jQuery UI • 4 years ago

i upgraded my web app to use jQuery 3.3.1 and jQuery UI 1.12.1 libraries. While i understand i need to also update my code to reflect changes in jQuery and jQuery UI, i noticed that many of the current jQuery UI demos do not use jQuery 3.3.1.

I use the jQuery UI demo sources to help with constructing proper and current jQuery and jQuery UI code, but it does not help when the demos do not use the current jQuery version and things end up not looking or acting right.

why is jQuery 3.3.1 not used in many of the jQuery UI demos using jQuery UI 1.12.1?

jQuery UI is ridiculously proud that it still supports ancient version of IE that even Microsoft does not support. It can use 1.12.1 through 3.3.1. jQuery 3.x.x does not support those ancient versions.

I'm using the latest versions of Firefox, IE and Chrome. While i understand that the folks at Jquery UI may want their demos to work with older versions of browsers by using pre 3.x.x jQuery, that doesn't help those who try to keep up.

I guess I'll continue to update my jQuery code to reflect all changes up to 3.3.1 first then move on to update my jQuery UI code to reflect all changes up to 1.12.1.

thanks.
