jQuery Core Team Meeting – Jul 15 2013

Attending: DaveMethvin, orkel, timmywil, m_gol

link Switchover to Bower (timmywil)

  • Change is made for master and 1.x-master
  • Working for everyone?
  • Issues?
    • Our build process with bower is fine, Sizzle and QUnit
    • Can't publish jQuery to Bower yet tho
    • Need to wait until they are released
    • Current Bower package forces Migrate on everyone
    • Wait for Bower update

link npm version

  • need a change to module.exports, wait for 2.0.4

link Problems with Jenkins/testswarm

  • Post to .html pages is too error prone
  • Causing AJAX fail
    • Create a PHP-based page to get test files (dave)

link jQuery 1.11/2.1

  • Dave didn't summarize the doc yet
  • make .ready() optional in its own module
    • solves the cross-dependency issue nicely!

jQuery Core Team Meeting – Jul 08 2013

Attending: DaveMethvin, orkel, timmywil, jaubourg, gibson042, rwaldron

link 1.10.2/2.0.3 release

  • Any problems? None reported

link Problems with testswarm

  • ngnix not configured properly, 502 on post to static pages
  • long term problem
  • what can we do to fix soon?

link jQuery 1.11/2.1

  • https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oQ966Lq9szqP41BehdlmAJV33lgNcrE0C0tktLvIz5s/edit
  • (action items and conclusions below summarized from meeting discussion)
  • requestAnimationFrame - Do not pull into core, gnarf has a plugin for people who want it and we'd still break a lot of existing code if it was the default
  • Alternative animation API (initially a plugin) - leave to third parties
  • Alternative AJAX implementation - jaubourg to noodle over
  • Deferreds and Callbacks optional modules - yes, after AMD is settled
  • make .ready() its own optional module - yes, and discourage its use
  • Use AMD - yes, timmywil is on it
  • Deprecate/remove jQuery.support? - Can't remove, but move feature detects into their respective modules and make them lazy, reduce forced layouts; next step to be done after initial AMD is finalized
  • Avoid offsetHeight/offsetWidth completely - yes, mikesherov?
  • Attach data directly to elements

  • let's try … gotta monitor the duplicate tix

link Intel wants to help with some optimization issues

  • Rich Winterton profiled with VTune, saw bad JITting behavior
  • But...are any on hot paths?
  • Maybe we can meet with him in person next week?
  • Collab with Intel App Framework

link jQuery 2.1/1.11 changes

  • Discuss at in-person Portland meeting
  • Some thoughts
    • Make Deferreds and Callbacks optional modules
    • Deferred used in .ready() only, never documented
    • Use AMD to do our module builds? snover has a branch
    • needs updates to grunt build
    • optional dependencies (Deferred in .ready) are tricky
    • Does defaultDisplay really solve a problem?
    • Only reliable way is to append, THEN hide. That doesn't cause extra reflows does it?
    • Our "visible" check causes reflows, can we fix that?
    • Need to use display:none vs .offsetHeight/Width
    • Would fix issues like
      visible bug
    • Either changes the meaning of visible, or requires climbing the tree to determine visibility
    • Avoid offsetHeight/Width completely
    • Always a whole number
    • Screws up zoomed results and subpixel rendering
    • Attach data directly to elements for faster teardown

link Style guide updates

  • Grouping parens need space? (i.e., ALL parens need space)
    • If so do all { need trailing newlines?
    • e.g. var x = { test: true } would be invalid
    • Do all ? and : need surrounding space?
    • We tend to do b ? v1 : v2;
    • But we do { test: true } no leading space on colon
  • Dave to make a pull request against the style guide for comment
