Release request

Uglify version (uglifyjs -V)
uglify-es 3.3.9

Notes
It has been more than 5 months since uglify-es was last released. The latest release on NPM is 3.3.9. Is it still supported? There are a bunch of fixes in master that we'd like to see released in the harmony branch.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

uglify-es is no longer maintained.

asapach · 2018-05-29T21:14:57Z

Could you please mark the npm package as deprecated?

julkue · 2018-06-21T19:39:26Z

Can you please point this out in the branch itself.

aleclarson · 2018-08-29T19:49:41Z

@alexlamsl Curious of the rationale behind that decision. This benchmark says uglify-es (at the time of writing) is almost 3x faster than uglify-js, so it seems strange to abandon it. Since you haven't deprecated it on NPM, should I assume you're only taking a break from maintaining it?

so it seems strange to abandon it. Since you haven't deprecated it on NPM, should I assume you're only taking a break from maintaining it?

uglify-es has been forked and the new project is called terser. For projects that need ES6 support, use it instead of uglify-es, since all new development will be happening over there (and things like webpack are switching over to it shortly too):

if this lib is no longer being maintained it would be very helpful to add a [DEPRECATED] warning to the README and repo's subject/description line (maybe even archive the repo), so that folks who just look over the README and don't spelunk the issues right off the bat don't invest their time in integrating a dead lib. (and pushing this deprecation warning to npm would also be a nice thing to do)

`uglify-es` is no longer maintained: mishoo/UglifyJS#3156 (comment) Terser is a maintained fork of uglify-es, which is used by most of the existing bundling tools.
