Browser versions we support #94

Closed paulmillr closed 12 years ago

paulmillr commented 12 years ago

Are we into old stupid shit like ie6-8?

karellm commented 12 years ago

Support IE8+ should be doable. Have you noticed a problem @paulmillr ?

paulmillr commented 12 years ago

No, i'm just curious, because I ain't support it anywhere (just 10 and 9) and if we ain't support it here too, we can remove _ (underscore) calls to stuff like each etc.

karellm commented 12 years ago

I would probably keep them for now.

On moviepilot.com we had support for IE7 initially, but we dumped it because IE had problems with our cross-domain API access. But architecture-wise there shouldn’t be major problems with IE7. I haven’t tested Chaplin with IE7, but the specs pass on IE8 without errors and I’m trying to sustain that.

molily commented 12 years ago

Will run the test suite in IE7 when I’ve installed the stuff, but only to test if it works. If it doesn’t, the minimum will be IE8.

By the way, are there browser requirements for Backbone? Haven’t found any statements regarding browser support in the docs.

For iteration and easy stuff, we’re using plain CoffeeScript, so there’s not so many Underscore calls. Underscore or Lowdash is always present for Backbone apps, so I think it’s fine to build upon. Lowdash also claims to be faster as current native implementations in some regards.

paulmillr commented 12 years ago

Backbone reqs are same as all Jeremy stuff: IE6.

Need to try lodash.

Lodash just released fixes for these underscore issues.
