Update to a stable version of jQuery 4

new beta for jquery 4 got out, need a new issue to update in 11.x https://blog.jquery.com/2024/07/17/second-beta-of-jquery-4-0-0/

Opened 📌 Update to jQuery 4.0.0-beta2 Active

With jQuery 4 still in beta, does this mean Drupal 11 is being delayed from the original release plan of the week of July 29th?

@DamienMcKenna if it was just a week or so then we probably would, but indications are that it'll be a few weeks before there's a stable jQuery 4 release, but also that this isn't due to changes/bugs in jQuery itself but updating documentation and etc. Given that, we're planning to release 11.x on the beta, and update to a stable release in an 11.0.x patch release once it's available. Will need something in the release notes, but feels like the least bad option.

Thank you for the update.

Should this issue be refocused on the jQuery 4 plan for D11 with remaining tasks identified and then a separate task for updating to a final jQuery 4 release for a future core release?

As far as we know, there's nothing left to do except update to the stable release when it comes out.

There are various non-blocking follow-ups like 📌 Remove jQuery Form dependency from misc/ajax.js Needs work but that issue already existed, just would have made the jQuery 4 update a lot easier if we'd finished it.

Marking postponed until a newer version is available. Right now we are on beta2 and that is the latest.

I think 📌 Remove jQuery Form dependency from misc/ajax.js Needs work belongs as a should-have in the Drupal 12 beta requirements meta (rather than here).
