# Just a heads up WP trunk uses jQuery…

Just a heads up. WP trunktrunk A directory in Subversion containing the latest development
code in preparation for the next major release cycle. If you are running "trunk",
then you are on the latest revision. uses jQuery 1.5.2. 1.5.2 no longer allows selectors
of the form [property=value]. These selectors now require quotes: [property=”value”].
Unquoted values will result in “uncaught exception: Syntax error, unrecognized expression:[
property=value]”. Check your plugins against 1.5.2.

 3.  Now that jQuery 1.6 is released, is that likely to make it in to 3.2 or has it
     missed the cut?
 4.  1.6 does make some changes that might break compatibility – see the release notes
     about attr() and prop().

 7.  jQuery 1.6 was released a few days ago, too:

        to as a **diff**. A patch can be _applied_ to a codebase for testing. [#17311](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/17311)

      * It won’t be going into 3.2 in all likelihood though because it will require
        more robust testing.

      * jQuery 1.6 has some features that would require rewriting most of the code 
        that uses it (thinking mostly about all the plugins that use jQuery). 1.6.1
        fixes that and is currently in RCrelease candidate One of the final stages 
        in the version release cycle, this version signals the potential to be a final
        release to the public. Also see [alpha (beta)](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2011/05/07/just-a-heads-up-wp-trunk-uses-jquery/?output_format=md#alpha-beta)..
        Hopefully it will be released in time for inclusion in WordPress 3.2.
      * Oh, and 1.6 still has the same requirement like 1.5.2, all [property=value]
        selectors have to be fixed.
