The same should happen with various extensions also

See bug 26307, and to some extent, bug 26306

Reedy, I'm gonna ask you to take the lead on this. Let me know if that isn't reasonable.

Better with Roan, Trevor or Krinkle

I could replace it, but I'd be somewhat stuck as to fixing the issues

I'm the api/backend developer, they're the frontend ;)

MediaWiki 1.15: jQuery 1.3.2
MediaWiki 1.16: jQuery 1.4.2
MediaWiki 1.17: jQuery 1.4.4

For 1.18 we're too late in my opinion, since branching has taken place and active development is basically past us.

I suggest switching trunk to 1.5.2 or 1.6.1.

From first look, I thnik we should go with 1.5.2 due to the new .prop() changes in 1.6.x which, together with all that was new in 1.5.x maybe too much at once (since we're coming from 1.4.4).

Do one step now, then do the next later when appropriate ;)

Certainly putting it in 1.18 is asking for trouble

MediaWiki 1.19 (trunk): jQuery 1.5.2

Done in r88607.

The backwards incompatible changes were fixed in 1.6.1 . I still see the argument for doing this slowly though.

r88725 reverts the update (r88607) and references this bug. What's the reasoning for downgrading rather than fully upgrading on trunk? Should this bug be reopened?

Yes, and renamed as well.

Fixed in r89866.

I've been running on 1.6.1 locally for two weeks now and fixed issues that I was saving in the mean time and made sure we're still passing all unit tests.

You could've just opened a new bug

jQuery version has already been update for 1.19, I suggest doing the next update in 1.20, which already has an open bug 29100.

Re-marking this as fixed as it has already been upgraded to 1.6.1, to avoid confusion in release-notes and other referencs, don't re-use tickets for other requests.

Still, as it's a point release/bugfix update, shouldn't we probably upgrade to 1.6.2 in trunk as is? Then look at upgrading to whatever is the major version (1.7, 1.8?) for MW 1.20?

Granted, it should be logged as a new bug, but still.

No, and it's already been done, I logged a new bug rather than just reopening this one. If the issue had been unresolved before 1.6.2 came out, retitling this bug etc would've been fine.

As it had been fixed, as is, bug 28904 is the more appropriate way of doing it
