Proposal

Any possibility of a minor 5.x release that adds support for jQuery 4.0?

The JavaScript in BS 5.x issues a specific warning against jQuery 4.0, which seems like an unnecessary restriction...

if (t[0] < 2 && t[1] < 9 || 1 === t[0] && 9 === t[1] && t[2] < 1 || 4 <= t[0]) throw new Error("Bootstrap's JavaScript requires at least jQuery v1.9.1 but less than v4.0.0")

Motivation and context

jQuery 4.x compatibility in Bootstrap 5.x.

[marcsoler]

Bootstrap no longer depends on jQuery, as the dependency was fully removed starting with v5.

The warning you referenced comes from Bootstrap 4, not Bootstrap 5:
https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/blob/v4.6.0/js/src/util.js#L189

Bootstrap 5 itself does not require or check for any jQuery version. See this
