Revision as of 21:19, 15 September 2014

Current (3.x) (as of 8/2014)

  • IE 8+ (lots of WinXP clients out there still, even past April 2014 probably)
  • Firefox 24, 31+ ("Extended Support Release") (possibly 31+ only later in the 3.x lifetime)
  • Chrome 35+ (version of chromium in Debian 7)
  • Safari 5+
  • Opera (12+?)

Future (4.x)

  • IE... 8+ or 11+ ? leaning toward 8+ now
    • argument for 8+: still the most popular browser in 2014 (aka lots of WinXP clients out there still). not anywhere near the pain to support IE6 was.
    • argument for 11+ : folks still on XP after its EOL can use Firefox or Chrome, IE 10/11 are now available on Win 7
    • probably 8/11+ but not things in between (9 is only on vista and server 2008, 10 is only on server 2012, MS dropped support for older browsers on a platform)
  • Firefox 31+ (current/latest ESR)
  • Chrome 35+
  • Safari 6+? (latest running on the still-used OSX/iOS versions)
  • Opera latest (still supported, but v15+ uses the same engine as Chrome, so not separately tested)
