Browser-compat-data: Add browser release data for all browsers

Created on 2 Nov 2017  路  6Comments  路  Source: mdn/browser-compat-data

I've added a JSON file that contains browsers and their releases (with a release version, release date, and release notes link). This data is also used for validation of version_added and version_removed in the compat data itself. However, the initial PR did not include all browsers and their release data. This issue is about adding this for all browsers.

To-do list:

  • [x] chrome
  • [x] chrome_android
  • [x] webview_android
  • [x] edge
  • [x] edge_mobile
  • [x] firefox
  • [x] firefox_android
  • [x] ie
  • [x] nodejs (see https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/pull/596)
  • [x] opera
  • [x] opera_android
  • [x] safari (see https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/pull/595)
  • [x] safari_ios (see https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/pull/831)
  • [x] samsunginternet_android

Each browser has a file with this data added at https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/blob/master/browsers/

@Elchi3 I'm looking to help and wonder: is Wikipedia an acceptable source for this information? For example, regarding chrome-android, Android is indicated on releases in the Wikipedia version history -- can that data be wrangled into the required JSON format here?

@richardkmichael Yeah, Wikipedia might be a good start. Ideally, we would get this information directly from the vendors (or their websites), though.

Maybe @jpmedley can help us to get this data for browsers of the Chrome or Android family.

For Android and Webview, just copy the Chrome file. They're identical. I suspect opera_android is identical to Opera, but I don't know enough about their release process.

I should have said parallel instead of identical. All three flavors of Chrome share a version number, but the release dates don't always match;.

I have #1712 open to add information about Opera for Android.

This is now done. Phew! :tada:
