Changelog

Docutils 0.17 support. Patch by Adam Turner
Incompatible changes
--------------------
* 7405: Removed the jQuery and underscore.js JavaScript frameworks.
These frameworks are no longer be automatically injected into themes from
Sphinx 6.0. If you develop a theme or extension that uses the
``jQuery``, ``$``, or ``$u`` global objects, you need to update your
JavaScript to modern standards, or use the mitigation below.
The first option is to use the sphinxcontrib.jquery_ extension, which has been
developed by the Sphinx team and contributors. To use this, add
``sphinxcontrib.jquery`` to the ``extensions`` list in ``conf.py``, or call
``app.setup_extension("sphinxcontrib.jquery")`` if you develop a Sphinx theme
or extension.
The second option is to manually ensure that the frameworks are present.
To re-add jQuery and underscore.js, you will need to copy ``jquery.js`` and
``underscore.js`` from `the Sphinx repository`_ to your ``static`` directory,
and add the following to your ``layout.html``:
.. code-block:: html+jinja
{%- block scripts %}
<script src="{{ pathto('_static/jquery.js', resource=True) }}"></script>
<script src="{{ pathto('_static/underscore.js', resource=True) }}"></script>
{{ super() }}
{%- endblock %}
.. _sphinxcontrib.jquery: https://github.com/sphinx-contrib/jquery/
