It's nearing time for 3.0

[getify]

Specifically:

1. link rel=preload is becoming a reality.
2. Also, IE is dead now
3. There's several small feature requests that have built up over time that should be rolled in (if anyone even still cares)

@getify I'm interested in this

[dudesl]

Maybe its time to CORS support?

[getify]

@dudesl can you be more specific?

[pihvi]

I'd like to help, what could I do?

I'd like to see LABjs in NPM as I'm using it for version management. Should I just add it there or would you like to be the owner of that?

[getify]

The goal is the 3.x launch will be on npm

[pihvi]

Great, what should happen next to get things started? How can I help?

[getify]

it's started... there's a separate branch for the 3.0 work. it's in progress. just haven't had much time lately.

[nyrosmith]

@getify is there anything I could help with?

[fatso83]

@getify To get some help on this you should make it easy to contribute. Make a list of issues that you need help with, possible from a overview issue "3.0 release", and mark them with "help wanted". As this thread shows there are many folks who would like to help out, but don't know where to start.

lets add local storage to cache the scripts!

[jbmonroe]

@artknight How will you load scripts from local storage?

[artknight]

@jbmonroe I recently wrote a script to use localStorage to cache JS & CSS scripts. The way it works is to store the JS/CSS content as a STRING and inject it into the header on subsequent page loads. I added a cache buster to force cache reloads when needed ( version changes, etc... ). The performance is amazing but I do realize that it has some drawbacks as mentioned in the comments.

[fatso83]

@artknight, you don't link to to any script and there are no comments in this issue that mentions anything about drawbacks. mind elaborating?
