Release 6.0.0 (released Dec 29, 2022)

Dependencies

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 %} {{ super() }} {%- endblock %}

    .. _sphinxcontrib.jquery: https://github.com/sphinx-contrib/jquery/
