Can we update jquery dependencies?

[fsmanuel]

The bower.json states a jquery ~1.7 dependency.
I read the code and found jQuery.isFunction, this.$().attr() and view.$(). It should work with a newer jQuery version. Maybe just change it to >=1.7

[fsmanuel]

i found your comment. so we should consider/figure out that before.

[jamesarosen]

It looks like the attr/prop change was in jQuery 1.6. I think ~1.7 should be fine. I haven't run any tests against 2.0+, so I'd be wary of just claiming compatibility.

[jamesarosen]

Oh, it already is ~1.7. I'll try testing against 2.0+.

I've gotten lost in a deep yak-shave on this one. This project tests against multiple sets of runtime dependencies. Unfortunately, Bower doesn't support multiple, parallel packages (cf bower/bower#867). That means that we need to have a whole slew of curl targets in the Makefile to fetch the various development dependencies. I can just add two more -- jQuery 2.0.3 and jQuery 2.1.0, but that's just making our problem worse.

I'm going to try moving the build scripts around a little to reduce the noise. Maybe that will make testing on these newer versions of jQuery less painful.

Blargh, JavaScript developer tools.

poor james! sorry for all that...

[jamesarosen]

I just released v1.6.1, which relaxes the dependency to ">=1.7 <3". Note, however, that the latest release version of Ember.View only works with up to jQuery 2.0. There's nothing this library can do about that.

Oh dear. Github's watch feature should be more careful with emailing about releases.

@jamesarosen thank you!
