#13801 closed feature (fixed)

Deprecate context property

Description

#9469 made a good (and ultimately successful) case for deprecating the selector property because of its needlessness and inherent unreliability. We should do the same with its sibling property context for exactly the same reasons.

Cf. ​https://github.com/jquery/jquery/pull/1249, closed because context is still ​publicly documented.

+1, we always use ownerDocument anyway.

+1, as long as the iframe cases are served :)

+1, Good with the deprecation/removal but not the time frame. 2.0 has shipped, and 1.10 should parallel it. Do you mean 2.1/1.11 here?

comment:5 Changed 9 years ago by gibson042

2.1/1.11 is the most realistic. It'd be nice to get this sooner, but 2.0 has already left the barn.

I think this was miscommunicated. Let's deprecate it now (1.10) and remove the code when we can.

comment:10 Changed 9 years ago by m_gol

Agreed.

We have a race condition here. ;) The pull request is almost ready to merge but I need the URL to the blog post about the 1.10 release so we'll wait for the release with merging that. :)
