Changes between Initial Version and Version 1 of Ticket #35032, comment 7

initial	v1
1		@adamsilverstein I installed the plugin you shared. Updates are failing if the value of the data-slug attribute contains special characters. This is because the shiny-updates.js as well as the default wordpress admin script updates.js are both making use of the value in the data-slug attribute as a jQuery selector string without escaping it first. jQuery selector strings with special characters have to prefix the special char with a \\ before it can be used in the string. If shiny-updates.js and the core admin script updates.js were changed to let the jQuery handle special characters, it might work.
