Landing 2.0 changes
jQuery 2.0 needs browserset “popular-no-old-ie”
want to keep the support.js unit tests
- they let us know when it’s safe to remove a check
Stale code in the repo
- Strategy for keeping and maintaining code?
- Remove oldIE tests from 2.0 branch (dave)
Perf testing
- Need some to prevent perf regressions and prove 2.0 improvements
- focus on big-picture hot paths
- mikesherov and rwaldron to talk this week
Style guide
- rwaldron proposes using js-beautify
- Let’s find a way to automate/standardize using this
- Perhaps a grunt task, and instructions in the contributing/readme?

Minutes (Notes) of the meeting of jQuery

Time: Noon ET
Official Agenda:
Beta today:
Renamed jQuery Compat to jQuery Migrate – Thanks snover!
https://github.com/jquery/jquery-migrate
Where should bugs be handled for it? GITHUB
- Originally I thought Trac, but perhaps Github would be easier?
- Probably not that many bugs (haha)
- Just got our first bug
jQuery 2.0 Pass One – Who wants to do some DELETING?
For pass 1 let’s mainly remove hacks and do simple refactors
- Remove oldIE hacks
- Simple rewrites using ES5 features if they save code
Don’t make any changes to unit tests (special dispensation required)
Make pull requests prefixed with “2.0″ for review
Branch off 1.9-stable next Monday if possible
2.0 alpha by December 31 (two weeks)?
Do we need tickets? No functional changes so I don’t think we do
while making changes, normalize any browser-specific hacks to
- // Support: browser version (e.g., Support: Opera <11.5, IE < 9)
What about Sizzle?
- Factoring out oldIE probably won’t pay off
- Explore a simple querySelectorAll/matchesSelector alternate impl
Specific interest? Grab them now, or later
- ajax – dave
- attributes – timmy
- callbacks – dave (no changes; try/finally fireWith at some point?)
- core – Rick
- css – dave (about -300 gz)
- data – Rick
- deferred – dave (no changes)
- dimensions – dave (just a comment to remove, so later)
- effects
- event – dave (about -520 gz)
- manipulation – Rick would like to work with Richard Gibson on this
:)
- offset – dave (no changes)
- queue – dave (no changes)
- serialize – dave (no changes)
- support – perhaps clean this up after we land the other stuff?
- traversing – orkel expressed interest, dave can back him up
- build and testswarm changes – dave, with help
grunt 0.4 – wait until after Jan 1 before deploying
WE MUST FIX THE IE8 TWO PIXEL BUG
