Drop old libraries

[williamdes]

About this open Debian bug complaining about an old jquery version patched for CVEs: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1021030

Could we agree to drop support for IE and remove old libraries and update jquery?

If yes I can work on this

[namiltd]

PhpSysinfo is designed to display information about as many systems as possible on as many systems as possible. Disabling IE support goes against this premise.

Okay, thank you for clearing this What is the minimum version of IE you want to support? Is upgrading jquery feasible then?

[namiltd]

IE6 for "dynamic" mode and IE8 for "bootstrap" mode.

[williamdes]

Okay I will find a way to spin up old windows IE for this Any other browser that is complicated to handle?

How do you currently test this compatibility?

[namiltd]

Problems also occur with older versions of safari, firefox, midori and chrome. To maintain compatibility for these browsers, additional css are loaded (from the templates/vendor folder). I test them with portable versions of these browsers and in the case of IE on computers with old versions of Windows.

Okay, this repository should have a .browserslistrc file to state all supported browsers Can you add it? https://github.com/browserslist/browserslist

The application can run in three modes: static, dynamic and bootstrap. Each of them has different browser requirements, I have no idea how to define it in .browserslistrc

Document the lowest, I think it's best Or put one in directories or use custom names People or tools will understand what you meant And it will be standard documentation that CSS compilers can use for example

The problem is that the static version works on all browsers even without js. Other versions are more demanding eg bootstrap requires firefox min 3.6.

It's probably worth creating .browserslistrc-$mode then

[namiltd]

Good idea. That's what I'll do.

In https://github.com/phpsysinfo/phpsysinfo/commit/a62d6361b8b20a3c334c8b7a21362cb3b416e850 I have added already tested minimal versions of supported browsers. I will gradually add more browsers.
