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 18, Firefox 50-62 and Chrome 54-68 due to one polyfill for array.flat().

  • Replaced jQuery with jQuery.slim
  • Replaced ProgressJS with simple native dropin
  • Replaced Autolinker with simple https/email detection
  • Replaced ifvisible.js with simple drop-in replacement

  • Removed underscore
  • Removed polyfills

  • Removed jquery-scrollstop
  • Removed jquery-mousewheel
  • Removed matchmedia-polyfill
  • Removed momentjs (localization still used)
  • Removed opentip (use CSS)
  • Removed non-community (aka Prem/Premium/License) code
  • Modified Jua.js to be without jQuery

646.335 bytes (199.367 gzip) is not much, but it feels faster.
