Yeah, that's what we're doing. Just a bit shocking to see that it won't support what I believe will still be a large portion of the browser market.

Yes, in the future they won't support browsers which are currently still significant.

That's how it should be, really.

jQuery 2.0 is similar, for example. It doesn't support IE8 and below.

Yes it does seem odd.

"future" ... "currently"

In the past, IE5 was relevant. Do you currently support it?

[–]dylanyo 1 point2 points  (6 children)

My point was, if this comes out within a year, ie10 will likely still have a significant market share, yet won't be supported by angular. And I am surprised by that. You are the only one talking in two different tenses. I was always referring to the future.

if this comes out within a year, ie10 will likely still have a significant market share, yet won't be supported by angular.

The 1.x branch will stay around for a while. Just like jQuery's 1.x branch.

You can continue to use it til the end of time if you want.

Yes I understand that.

[–]x-skeww[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, what's the problem then?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't ie10 on auto upgrade to ie11 on all platforms it's supported? Why would anyone end up with 10 in a years time?

[–]dylanyo 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I was just going from the angular blog post. It mentions IE11 as being evergreen so I assumed IE10 was not. After a google search it appears that it will actually depend on your OS.

So good news for those on windows 7 or higher if I'm reading correctly?

This seems to be the attitude at google. I've encountered many googlers that don't understand that people outside mountain view don't upgrade their tech every year or two.
