John, Thank you for you efforts, and please be sure you've got another beta- tester and probably contributor(s).
Some background first. We are developing a massive qooxdoo Desktop application. When we were about to roll integration tests, it turned out that our app doesn't run in PhantomJS - because of Promises that we heavily use in our app. Up to this moment, supporting legacy browsers was not our primary objective, but certainly that PhantomJS issue was something to be dealt with. Lack of Promises is a well-known problem in PhantomJS [1]. The guys have already begun transitioning to CEF [2], and it's unlikely that PhantomJS gets Promises until then. God knows how long will it take, considering another ~1500 open issues. From the discussion [1] I've learned about Babel. Employing Babel would not only solve the PhantomJS+Promise issue, but would also allow us to use full ES6, at the same time making our app compatible with legacy browsers. I've started to investigate how to integrate Babel into qooxdoo toolchain, but suddenly stumbled upon this thread. Needless to say how excited I was :) I wish you luck, and kindly ask you please to keep us informed. P.S. Thanks for the excellent UploadMgr, we've been using it in our project since the very beginning. It has been a real time saver for our developers.
