There is a high chance the skin will work on IE8, especially since the
first versions of Flamingo was tested on IE8 and we added Respond.js and
HTML5Shiv just for this case.
Dropping support means that we will not particularly test on that version
of browser, nor prioritizing fixing issues for it. We will focus on newer
versions. We will still apply commits if contributors are interested.
Regarding fixing issues on IE8, on several occasions I fixed issues for IE8
in BFDs.
Now if you consider that the user base is still great, we could leave the
issues still open (instead of closing them as 'Not supported anymore'). The
main problem is that if you look at the Dashboard listing issues marked
with IE
http://jira.xwiki.org/issues/?filter=13809
http://jira.xwiki.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=13102
all open issues (except 1) are reported by active contributors, not by
community user members. And that is because we still support the browser:
still doing tests on it and providing fixes. For such an old browser is a
waste of resources IMO. Hi,
One year ago (Mar 2014) [1] we discussed dropping support for IE8 for the
6.x cycle. The vote did not pass.
Since then, we started the support for IE10/IE11 (Jun 2014) [2].
You can see some statistics and the current browsers we support at
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/BrowserSupportStrategy
This mail is about voting the drop of support for IE8/IE9 for cycle 7.x.
WDYT?
My +1
Well, IE8+9 still account for close to 30% of browser shares according to
your link. Is it wise to drop a potential 30% user base? :)
What’s the current status of IE8/9 in XWiki 7.1 for example (Do we have
lots of opened issues for them)?
WDYM by dropping support: Do we remove code specific to support IE8/9 now
or do we just stop fixing issues raised for IE8/9 from now on and we remove
the specific code in 8.0?
Thanks,
Caty
