jquery issue and security patch

[jthomasmock]

Hi all,

I am getting GitHub-level warnings and Netlify throwing warnings upon deployment about updating jquery (suggesting upgrade to >= 3.5) for security concerns, whereas distill has a jquery dependency of 1.1.

Is it possible to update the jquery version or is there another potential approach I should use on my end?

I'm unfortunately not more than superficially knowledgeable about jquery.

The jquery dependency comes from the version embedded in rmarkdown. @yihui Could we update the jquery dependency there?

Yes, we will upgrade jQuery: rstudio/rmarkdown#1814 Thanks for the report!
