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

November 26, 2012
Minutes (Notes) of the meeting of jQuery
Location: #jquery-meeting on Freenode
Attending: DaveMethvin, gibson042, timmywil, mikesherov
Time: Noon ET

Official Agenda:

Mergatron status?  Currently in beta test, came up Saturday

  • Issues?
  • Summon with @jquerybot retest ?
  • Whitelist of allowed summoners?

Dave pinged 15 recent new contribs to suck them back in; no bites yet

Availability over the next month?

  • Dave out (teaching a class) December 2,3,4 in NYC but otherwise full speed
  • others?

Early beta of 1.9 on December 9? Need the following by then:

  • All major feature removals and behavior changes landed
  • jquery-compat plugin supporting removed features and behaviors
  • Upgrade guide describing major changes (Dave)

Split for 2.0 (meaning 1.9-stable branch and 2.0 is master) on Dec 16? Later?

  • Earlier split means we can start 2.0 sooner
  • Also means we’ll need to cherry-pick and potentialy nasty merges though
  • Wait until post-split to land oldIE bug fix tickets
  • We should aim to keep unit tests basically unchanged (leave oldIE tests)

Documentation – Upgrade guide
