I made that change because it was requested by multiple people in discussions before the resource loader was implemented. It's not because I actually had any actual problem with debugging, I'm well aware of the existence of the debug mode. Concerns were raised that it may be necessary to interpret minified code in cases such as: * Where it is suspected that, due to caching issues, the debug code may not be the same as the minified code. * To debug the minifier itself, which is far short of a full JavaScript parser and may well introduce functional differences. * Where end users report platform-specific JavaScript errors, it may be useful to be able to match the line number of the error with something meaningful. Since the cost of adding line breaks is fairly small, the contention was that it was a fair compromise between size and developer (and tech supporter) sanity. So I took those comments on board and implemented it shortly after the branch merge. -- Tim Starling _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
