Need update to README to reflect current build process

  • timmywil, did CCAO changes land in Sizzle?

Manual modularity

Landed gibson042′s modularity for effects

Others?

  • ajax?
  • css and dimensions – mikesherov

Compat repo for deprecated/removed stuff? – dave

  • Separate plugins including compressed versions
  • Combined plugin with everything
  • “Debug” version with console.warn msgs?
  • We can host these on code.jquery.com, perhaps other CDNs

Documentation

Deprecations – dave created tickets, will finish docs

Animation hooks Tween etc. — gnarf to outline

Other things needing docs?

.css(‘width’) respects box-sizing, .width() doesn’t; dimension setters – mikesherov

vendor prefixing

  • automatic – ‘boxSizing’ will get ‘MozBoxSizing’
  • can create cssHooks for vendor-prefixed, which get priority over non-prefixed

Remaining 1.8 items

New items?
