Time: Noon ET

Official Agenda:

jQuery 1.8.2 shipped — bugs?

Landing common fixes before 1.9/2.0 split

  • Should we tag those 1.8.3? (leave it as pre for now)
  • Please ID those by next Monday (Oct 1)
  • Let’s complete bug fixes before summit (Oct 15)

The split(s) schedule

1.9 split to occur post-Summit (Oct 22)

  • master branch will be 1.9

Remove deprecated features and stabilize

Complete the compat plugin

naming? I don’t like jquery-compat-1.9

  • jquery-compat.js

warns about using the features, patches support back in

1.9 alpha/beta first, incorporate feedback

2.0 split early December?

  • master will stay 1.9 … branch will be 2.0

Ticket votes for 1.9 (and 2.0, really)

SVG support

  • Would like a deeper analysis before official support
  • Okay with landing simple SVG fixes
  • yet another one: http://jsfiddle.net/qqvzM/3/ (via peol)

  • land any post-1.8.2 fixes common to both
  • Do the split after that, post-hackathon

1.9 direction on oldIE

  • Fix anything that’s practical (a dozen or so lines of code max?)
  • Wontfix the rest; explain why (perf, size, side-effects) and give workarounds

1.9 voting

  • Let’s start voting next week (after 1.8.2 ships)
  • Identify tickets that you think should be discussed/voted

Thanks for jumping in on ticket triage!

  • If you find out anything, make a note on the ticket

jQuery 1.8 — The Aftermath

Tickets to discuss

http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/12269

  • .width() needs to know box-sizing now
  • Requires gCS which is 100x slow, esp in Chrome
  • Most people really want .css(“width”)
  • For now, advise that they use it ^^
  • mikesherov to look at options for speeding up .width()

Final release date?

  • I’m traveling all this week but could do a release
  • Otherwise, August 7?

http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/12158  (throws)

Leave it quoted for 1.8, warn that it’s coming out after that

“it was put in to prevent YUI compressor from breaking”

https://github.com/jquery/sizzle/pull/139(fixes to pseudo argument cases)

  • timmywil is -1
  • Need perf tests to see effects on relatively common cases

Scott has UI 1.8.22 out, compatible with core 1.8

Mobile bitten by removal of $.attrFn! (undocumented interface)

Avoid private arguments to our public APIs

  • complicates duck punching
