Uuid: Drop IE11 support

Created on 18 Jun 2020  路  5Comments  路  Source: uuidjs/uuid

I believe we should drop IE11 support with the next major release. This would allow us to produce much more modern bundles.

As of June 2020 IE11 market share is only 1.4% according to https://gs.statcounter.com/

Users who really need to support IE11 would still be able to transpile our bundles or add required polyfills.

As part of this we can remove output.ecmaVersion: 5 from the webpack configs.

I recently saw some issues in IE11 browsers w.r.t trailing commas. Specifically with the node_modules/uuid/v4.js module. Not sure if anyone else has experienced this recently / can comment on this.

@fzxt can you provide more details? This is definitely not expected: First of all, the most recent version of this library doesn't even expose a node_modules/uuid/v4.js module, second we make sure to transpile the browser-targeted code to work well with IE11.

@ctavan just to close the loop on this, we were indeed on some old version and the errors were due to some custom setup. Sorry to necro / distract on this issue.

FYI, MSFT dropping IE11 support for MS 365 in August 2021. Source
