Development Discussion Board

We could have the discussion of jQuery vs not jQuery, but I don't think that is a productive use of our time. We use most of the things jQuery provides: element selection, dom manipulation, ajax. As far as I'm concerned, what you are suggesting is not a bad thing in terms of performance, but it make...

Explain what you mean by keeping track of how many times an extension has been enabled. We have both migrations and the state column to keep track of state transitions.

Thanks for the stats, I will make a PR. I don't think there are any arguments against it now.

If we keep supporting old stuff it will live on forever. Just look at IE6.

No. The symfony1 EventDispatcher Component is 5.2 compatible. The Symfony2 EventDispatcher is not. Using something from 2 years ago that has a newer, better, and more maintained version just doesn't make sense.

Which libraries are you thinking of? Use Symfony2 EventDispatcher instead of copy-paste maintaining the code base ( see this PR ) We could use event dispatcher verbatim and I think a dependency injection container along with an asset management contraption would be handy as well. We have a nice sta...

I haven't forgotten about your question.

What is ext_state used for in the ext table? As there is already an ext_active column and as far as I can see on here it can only be active or inactive (or it can be purged but thats an action)? The state contains extension-specific data that is persisted between requests during installation (more ...

You kinda have a point, just starting on 4.x would be the proper way to do all of those things I mentioned. But throwing away 3.1 at this point would be kind of stupid. There's not that much missing and anything that could add traction to completing the last few things that do is a good idea imo.
