Description

jQuery 3 is removing a lot of features that have been depreciated for a long time. Some of these are still in use by jQuery Form.
https://jquery.com/upgrade-guide/3.0/

I have very little experience working with jQuery Deferred or Promises, so pull requests and assistance in updating jQuery Form is greatly appreciated.

Known issues

  1. #541 success and error Deferred methods
    https://jquery.com/upgrade-guide/3.0/#breaking-change-special-case-deferred-methods-removed-from-jquery-ajax
  2. #353 .selector property

Other related issues:
#527 feature for Deferred
#401 Submit only if a promise is resolved

Research direction

Start with the jQuery 3 upgrade guide and the linked issues #541 and #353, then review the related discussions in #527 and #401. Done means the jQuery Form plugin no longer relies on the deprecated APIs identified there and is fully compatible with jQuery 3.
