Comment (by hellofromTonya):
Hmm, the last Beta has already happened and RC1 is tomorrow. A change like
this right before RC1 makes me nervous.
But .. let's look at what's in this version to determine if there any
risks to the release.
This version includes 2 changes:
* The first change is for build process on Windows.
* The second change [https://github.com/jquery/jquery/issues/5194 fixes
errors in Firefox]:
{{{
Uncaught Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: unsupported pseudo:
before
}}}
The 2nd change is in the
[https://github.com/jquery/jquery/commit/dbe09e39673fa77f7753c30fea783fc061d1230f
Sizzle CSS Selector Engine] to "mostly" rollback to a previous `try-
catch`:
From https://github.com/jquery/jquery/pull/5206:
>Taking all that into account, we go back to our previous try-catch
approach without relying on `CSS.supports( "selector(...)" )`. The only
difference is we detect forgiving parsing in `:has()` and mark the
selector as buggy.
Reasonings are shared in [https://blog.jquery.com/2023/03/08/jquery-3-6-4
-released-selector-forgiveness/ the release post].
So I think this upgrade is needed to avoid similar issues in Firefox. I
think it's low risk to commit it for RC1. It shouldn't need a beta either.
@audrasjb what do you think?
