Removal of old JavaScript

This fork uses downsized/simplified versions of scripts and has no support for Internet Explorer.

The result is faster and smaller download code (good for mobile networks).

Things might work in Edge 15-18, Firefox 47-62 and Chrome 54-68 due to one polyfill for array.flat().

  • Replaced jQuery with jQuery.slim
  • Replaced ProgressJS with simple native dropin
  • Removed pikaday
  • Removed underscore
  • Removed polyfills
  • Removed Modernizr
  • Removed nanoscroll
  • Removed jquery-scrollstop
  • Removed jquery-mousewheel
  • Removed matchmedia-polyfill
  • Removed momentjs (localization still used)
  • Removed opentip (use CSS)
  • Replaced Autolinker with simple https/email detection
  • Replaced ifvisible.js with simple drop-in replacement
