Fix non-passive event listeners issue and add a updated version number

[summercms]

Relates to (my old account) issue found here: #202

Have tested this and works fine.

@mgol another one to review after #127

[mgol]

This change is essentially a noop but it doesn't work in IE which has no support for passive listeners. The upstream jQuery also doesn't use a pattern like this so I'm not in favor.

@dmethvin what do you think?

[ghost]

Could it be put behind a compatibility layer for non-IE?

[mgol]

Yes, it could, but it'd still be adding lots of bytes just to silence browser warnings without any actual change in behavior. If we were doing that for jQuery as well it'd make sense but I'm not sure about doing it just in this plugin, diverging from the upstream.

[ghost]

Okay, so the ideal thing to do is icebox this and have passive event listeners adopted in JQ core?

[mgol]

Yes, I think that’s the best option here.-- Michał Gołębiowski-Owczarek

@mgol Internet Explorer 11 desktop application will be retired and go out of support on June 15, 2022. Therefore this repo shouldn't continue to support ie11 after end of life date reached.

This project will most likely keep following the browser support policy of jQuery and there are no plans to drop IE 11 support there yet.

next release should include this

[mgol]

This will not be included in the next release as it depends on changes in jQuery which are currently scheduled for 5.0.0.
