+``django.utils.text.javascript_quote``
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``javascript_quote()`` was an undocumented function present in ``django.utils.text``.
+It was used internally in the :ref:`javascript_catalog view <javascript_catalog-view>`
+whose implementation was changed to make use of ``json.dumps()`` instead.
+If you were relying on this function to provide safe output from untrusted
+strings, you should use ``django.utils.html.escapejs`` or the
+:tfilter:`escapejs` template filter.
+If all you need is to generate valid javascript strings, you can simply use
+``json.dumps()``.
