Sphinx 6.0¶

Release 6.0.1 (released Jan 05, 2023)¶

#10468: Drop Python 3.6 support
#10470: Drop Python 3.7, Docutils 0.14, Docutils 0.15, Docutils 0.16, and Docutils 0.17 support. Patch by Adam Turner

#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:
```
{%- block scripts %}
    <script src="{{ pathto('_static/jquery.js', resource=True) }}"></script>
    <script src="{{ pathto('_static/underscore.js', resource=True) }}"></script>
    {{ super() }}
{%- endblock %}
```
