boltissueball #6761 [open] Extensions assets path https://github.com/bolt/bolt/pull/6761


[19:34] 
gawainlynch I presume that's going heavily toward the back burner? (edited)


[19:35] 
carson Yeah it is


[19:35] 
Focused on libraries rn


[19:35] 
gawainlynch No worries, just wanted to bump it to 3.5 =, but wanted to ask first


[19:36] 
You might have an opinion on the next one then I'll leave you to it


[19:36] 
- Dropping IE support in the docs, and only supporting the latest version of the major browsers (Edge, FF, Chrome, Safari and their mobile equivalents) (@sahassar)


[19:36] 
lenvanessen I think IE11 should be in that list


[19:37] 
sahassar
lenvanessen: How many people reading technical docs do you know who use IE?


[19:37] 
lenvanessen I've not seen many agencies that have dropped iE11


[19:37] 
sahassar
(Just for market research)


[19:37] 
carson I hate to say it but I think I agree with @lenvanessen


[19:37] 
lenvanessen Oh sorry


[19:37] 
Thought it was Bolt we Where talking about


[19:37] 
sahassar
Well, not for customer sites or themes, just for the docs


[19:37] 
carson Docs? IE :fire:



[19:37] 
lenvanessen But Still, IE11 is widely used


[19:37] 
But for the docs I dont think Anybody Would care


[19:38] 
gawainlynch Yeah, our thinking is that devs will use real tools


[19:38] 
Devs are the ones reading those pages


[19:38] 
lenvanessen Drop that sucker


[19:38] 
sahassar
gawainlynch: Sure, I'll test in lynx :wink:


[19:38] 
lenvanessen Drop it like it's hot (edited)


[19:39] 
sahassar
Nice, We'll let bob get some input next week, but seems like we are in ageement here :slightly_smiling_face:


[19:39] 
gawainlynch We do


[19:39] 
carson caniuse says IE 11 is at 3% global usage


[19:39] 
gawainlynch ^ this


[19:39] 
Next: File manager improvements #6898


[19:39] 
boltissueball #6898 [open] [3.4] File manager improvements https://github.com/bolt/bolt/pull/6898


[19:40] 
gawainlynch If we can make some time to have a look over this, I'd like to land it a.s.a.p. and clean up past there


[19:40] 
Len's new on the scene and I'd really not like to drag out something on him if we can help it … valid reasoning is a different matter :slightly_smiling_face:


[19:41] 
lenvanessen No worries, fire away, there's Only learnings from critisism


[19:42] 
sahassar
I very much like the idea, I just haven't tried it yet :slightly_smiling_face:


[19:42] 
gawainlynch Oh, we'll give it to you … I just don't want this to turn into weeks of nitpicks


[19:42] 
carson I’ll try to find some time too since I’ve played a part here


[19:42] 
gawainlynch Thanks mate, I know you're 200% overloaded too


[19:43] 
OK, so two were waiting on Ross but I'm gathering RL has him under the pump


[19:43] 
As far as I can see we have most things in hand for beta 1 next week(end)


[19:43] 
Just need to sort the menu question when Bob gets back


[19:44] 
… and given that you're loaded Carson, I'll just think though the SP on that one and come up with something


[19:45] 
In case you're wondering my stalling is just adding to the API in a way that bites us … call me a little nervous at the moment on that


[19:45] 
OK, anyone want to raise anything?


[19:45] 
:waving_white_flag: even :stuck_out_tongue:
