Drop support for Internet Explorer #1313

Closed herrvigg closed 1 year ago

herrvigg commented 1 year ago

WordPress abandoned the support of IE with WP5.8 in July 2021. https://wordpress.org/news/2021/05/dropping-support-for-internet-explorer-11/

Though we don't require that version of WP, it's time to abandon that legacy. See also this very old ticket: #32.

1) Remove workaround for RegExp:@@split See also https://caniuse.com/mdn-javascript_builtins_regexp_--split

~2) Update our browserslist for JS to be synced with WordPress https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/blob/trunk/package.json~

3) Add more debug info about browser in the troubleshooting section.

The change on the browserlists makes the JS code more compact and more modern e.g. with const (it was about time...). I hope this won't break some old user configs but it is consistent with WP developer configuration that appeared in WP5.8. Perhaps it's clearer if I make this as the required WP version though we don't need it strictly.

I reverted the change on the new browserlist, it may break some old configurations beside IE. We'll take it in a separate patch, maybe for next major release.
