2. Development Planning
5.0 Roadmap Progress
Code freeze is scheduled for June 18, so there's still a little time for work over the next two weeks.
Front End Updates
Browser Support Policy?
Pull request #1177 uses a Javascript feature that is incompatible with IE8. This brings up the question of what platforms we are aiming to support. Do we still care about IE8? Either way, should we post a formal browser support statement somewhere to help answer these types of questions in future?
