jQuery Core Team Meeting – Dec 15 2014

Attending: DaveMethvin, m_gol, gibson042, markelog, timmywil

link 1.11.2/2.1.2 release

• All patches landed? They should all be here:

• https://github.com/jquery/jquery/issues?q=milestone%3A1.11.2%2F2.1.2

• Trac tickets listed under a single GH issue

• https://github.com/jquery/jquery/pull/1662 was master only

• Sizzle has been updated in master, compat, 2.1-stable, and 1.11-stable
• Add Ajax URL sanitization?

• https://github.com/jquery/jquery/issues/1875
• No, let's leave until 3.0, there are compat risks

• Release ASAP
• Need blog post draft
• Has jquery-release been updated to not copy -latest? I think so

• (in general, any changes to jquery-release needed?)

link 3.0 release - target mid-January

• Major blockers or unassigned tickets?
• Should we switch to ES6 module format for authoring?

• Can still generate both the monolithic file and AMD from that
• Move AMD modules to dist/AMD
• Breaks the build process, can’t use r.js or var modules
• Can’t load modules when testing
• Decided to not change authoring for 3.0 … wait for 4.0, better tooling and/or browser support before using ES6 for authoring

• QUnit ticket: https://github.com/jquery/qunit/issues/707

link Issues vs Pull Requests

• Let's use issues (only) for changelog
• PRs should have one or more issues, unless they're housekeeping (e.g. typos and such) in which case we don't need an issue
• Need a commit message format change here?
• gibson042 has Component name enforcement

• https://github.com/jquery/jquery/pull/1909

• Support for jquery-release to build changelog

• https://github.com/jquery/jquery-release/issues/1

link Issues and PRs

• Promises/A+ compat

• https://github.com/jquery/jquery/pull/1821
• gibson042 to work on a PR
• maximum backcompat, allow setting context, multiple resolved values, etc. (Promise/A compat for code that draws inside the standard lines)
• Use a plugin to handle the error cases?
• Might be able to use try/finally now that IE7 has been dropped

• Plain Objects

• https://github.com/jquery/jquery/issues/1776
• Do we support animation on Object
• https://github.com/jquery/api.jquery.com/issues/600
• Are the docs/units correct and complete compared to code?
• https://github.com/jquery/jquery/pull/1668
• Should we hide the expando on plain objects? Let's try exposing it and see if anyone depends on it
• Should we add .animate() and .queue() to the list of things supported for plain objects?
• .queue - yes, support on plain objects, little impact
• .animate() - let's look at velocity.js, although it may be as simple as guarding stuff with .nodeType checks
