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:
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:
