The week in qooxdoo (2015–07–10)

It’s summertime around here. Many colleagues are on vacation or are working on internal projects. Nevertheless here’s some quick update on changes to the framework code. See a list of tasks accomplished recently. Many of those could be addressed due to detailed bug reports and/or pull requests provided, thanks.

Microsoft Edge

With the recent releases qooxdoo 5.0 and also qooxdoo 4.1.1 the framework included preliminary support for the upcoming Windows 10 and more specifically for its new “Edge” web browser. Being a moving target some changes have been addressed in the mean time, so qooxdoo’s Edge support looks fairly good already.

More tweaks might be necessary for the final shipment of Windows 10. If you test-drive the most recent or future versions of Edge, please file bug reports for any issues encountered. Would be great you dug into such problems and came up with fixes, so that they could be applied quickly. Around or after July 29, 2015 as the expected official launch date of Windows 10, we’d expect a corresponding maintenance release of qooxdoo with reasonable support for the new Edge browser.

Have a great summer, and keep hacking.
