| 02:46 | <MikeSmith> | Domenic: do you know if Location in Blink was ever changed to inherit from URLUtils and then changed back? |
| 02:47 | <MikeSmith> | I mean similar to what happened in Gecko, with https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=887364 changing Location and then https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1213815 changing it back |
| 02:59 | <gsnedders> | MikeSmith: can't see anything in the history at least? |
| 03:08 | <MikeSmith> | gsnedders: same here |
| 03:08 | <MikeSmith> | I searched through change history for the source, also through bug tracker |
| 03:10 | <MikeSmith> | context is that I just want to update https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/blob/master/api/Location.json#L342 to indicate there’s not password or username members for the interface in any current browsers |
| 03:11 | <MikeSmith> | but I know from experience with getting review on similar changes, reviewers aren’t gonna let me just change version_added: true to version_added: false there for Chrome |
| 03:59 | <MikeSmith> | FYI https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/pull/5925 |
| 07:18 | <annevk> | I've moved spec-factory to the WHATWG organization |
| 07:18 | <annevk> | I'll add a README momentarily |
| 08:41 | <annevk> | Oh wow, XMLHttpRequest uses "obtain unicode" |
| 09:55 | annevk | wonders if MikeSmith could review https://github.com/whatwg/fullscreen/pull/167 |
| 09:55 | MikeSmith | looks |
| 09:55 | <MikeSmith> | annevk: yeah will do right now |
| 10:35 | <MikeSmith> | annevk: wow, just now took a trip down the location.ancestorOrigins rabbit hole |
| 10:35 | <MikeSmith> | via https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/1918 and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1085214 |
| 10:42 | <annevk> | MikeSmith: I'm sad that didn't go anywhere, I put a lot of effort in that |
| 10:42 | <MikeSmith> | yeah I can see |
| 10:42 | <MikeSmith> | stalled about a year ago I guess |
| 10:42 | <annevk> | At some point I should push for it again I suppose |
| 10:43 | <MikeSmith> | would be nice to get it resolved |
| 10:44 | <MikeSmith> | so about the history, I have gone back in time as a far as https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83493, where it was first implemented in WebKit, but what’s the prehistory before that? |
| 10:45 | <annevk> | MikeSmith: I think that's probably it |
| 10:45 | <MikeSmith> | OK good |
| 10:45 | <MikeSmith> | well then I was confused by a comment from Ian |
| 10:45 | <MikeSmith> | https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83493#c19 |
| 10:45 | <MikeSmith> | “I'll make sure to either match implementations or not conflict on names when I spec this” |
| 10:46 | <MikeSmith> | I thought that implied some implementation prior to the WebKit one |
| 10:47 | <annevk> | MikeSmith: implementation came first and Ian said that he might change semantics when speccing |
| 10:47 | <annevk> | MikeSmith: and if he did, he'd change the name |
| 10:47 | <MikeSmith> | I see |
| 10:47 | <MikeSmith> | I guess the plural “implementations” there is what confused me |
| 13:45 | <annevk> | I've updated branch protection rules for most repos and also enabled auto-deletion of branches belonging to merged PRs. If any of this sounds concerning or you run into something, now you know who to talk to. |
| 15:33 | <TimothyGu> | annevk: wrt the jsdom suggestion, I mean I think it'd be great for jsdom, but if the person proposing the change successfully implemented in an actual browser (and no existing WPTs broke) then I think it should be fine too |
| 20:14 | <annevk> | TimothyGu: it’s somewhat seldom that those predate spec changes unfortunately |
| 20:15 | <annevk> | Maybe not that unfortunate, but it means that some changes are tricky |
| 21:59 | <shu> | annevk: ping |
