Does WordPress include jQuery in admin pages?

I'm developing a plugin for WordPress. For the settings page of the plugin, is it safe to assume that jQuery will be provided. This, indeed, seems to be the case for 4.0.1 but I want to know if there's any data on what version of jQuery different versions of WordPress include, etc.

Thanks.

It is safe to assume jQuery will be available on a normal plugin settings page. To be 100% sure your script can rely on jQuery, you can specify array( 'jquery' ) for the $deps param of wp_enqueue_script(), e.g.:

wp_enqueue_script(
    'myscript',
    plugins_url( '/js/myscript.js' , __FILE__ ),
    array( 'jquery' )
);

There's no need to enqueue jQuery separately if you specify it as a dependency, WP will enqueue the required script(s) automatically.

An unofficial list of jQuery versions included in WP can be found here.

You can use this to enqueue jQuery on an admin page

function your_plugin_init() {
  wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery');
}      

add_action('admin_init', 'your_plugin_init');

Please be aware that the bundled version will load jQuery in no conflict mode.
