[Phpmyadmin-devel] Drop flashcanvas

Hi all After seeing [Debian bug about sourceless flash file][1], I went to looking why do we have this at all. It seems to be used for IE 8 and older to render charts as the browser does not have native support for canvas. I've done a little bit of testing with IE 8 (using Browser Stack) and none of the rendering seems to work properly there: - the GIS rendering ends up with javascript error showing nothing [*] - the pie chart for profiling does not show areas - other charts show different level of corruption As nobody has complained about this so far, I believe it's better to simply drop this code than trying to fix it to work with this ancient browser. So here is [my pull request to do so][2]. [1]:http://bugs.debian.org/737432 [2]:https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/pull/887 [*]: What revealed that javascript error reporting is broken in IE 8 as I was not able to see the report details and submit it. So maybe it's really time to say we do not support IE 8 as there might be more of so broken things... -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://phpmyadmin.net
