Jquery Version in Bower Dependencies Should be the Oldest Version Necessary

[Kenny-Moore]

In issue #612 it is stated:
"There shouldn't be any issue using older jQuery. The primary use of jQuery is to allow for jquery-ui (in addition to some other simple functions). Make sure that you're using a version of jquery-ui that is compatible with your version of jQuery"

Your dependencies are on "jquery": ">= 3.1.0" which forces bower to update Jquery to that version (if your project's version is lower than 3.1.0) when it is not really necessary. This is a huge impediment when implementing your plugin that can be easily addressed by setting your Jquery dependency to ">=1.6".

@gooeyideas Good point. We're planning on removing all dependencies in the near future, but depending on how far out that roadmap becomes, we'll consider updating this dependency to use an earlier version. I'll leave this ticket open and will update it either way.

@gooeyideas Update - v0.3.0 went out with the higher jquery dependency. However, v1.0.0 is going to eliminate the jquery dependency altogether. Look for it on the develop branch next week.

Any update on the date of the new release without the dependencies?

I'm stuck using a really old version of underscore and jQuery UI with a bunch of non-compatible custom extension built on top and would love to see this being made available.

@jessenieminen lodash has been removed! jQuery and jQuery UI removals are coming, but...it's taking awhile...

making the change to a lower rev is easy, the hard part is figuring out the lowest rev we can still run without errors... if someone could test and let us know that would be great!
Our focus is on removal at this point...

fixed in next release.
