Drupal 8 hit the single digits for critical issues this week, so we have officially started in on the RC1 Release Checklist! :D Two of the items on there are:

• Ensure external PHP libraries are on the most stable release
• Ensure external JS libraries are on the most stable release

In an effort to get as much testing in front of RC1 as possible, today with the help of numerous awesome people such as hussainweb, DuaelFr, tarekdj, klausi, dawehner, Wim Leers, cilefen, and many more, we were able to get all of the external libraries in Drupal 8 updated! :D

While we have a green board as far as automated tests go, nevertheless these changes could use additional eyeballs, so please be on the lookout for any weirdness, esp. in front-end functionality, for which we lack automated test coverage.
