Road to `0.5.0`

[koute]

[ ] - (breaking change) Switch to upstream TryInto/TryFrom. (This will require removing some blanket impl (e.g. for TryFrom< Value > for Option< T >) and some concrete impls (e.g. From< Array > for Vec< Value > needs to be removed due to Rust's coherence rules); it will also require converting some TryFrom impls into TryInto impls (again - due to coherence rules) and modifying some trait bounds (e.g. in JsSerialize impl for closures from TryFrom into TryInto)) [ ] - (possibly breaking change?) Move webcore into a separate crate. [ ] - (breaking change) IPointerEvent::{pressure, tangential_pressure} should return f32. [ ] - (breaking change) Add MouseButton::Eraser variant. (Rename it to Button6 maybe?) [ ] - (breaking change) Wrap subscription-like types with autodrop wrapper (EventListenerHandle, etc.) [ ] - (should be non-breaking but might be) Switch from a WeakMap to a Map? [ ] - Add support for converting to/from f32. [ ] - (breaking change) Get rid of get_ prefixes from the getters.

(... possibly more ...)

Please consider dropping the "stable ID" guarantee for 0.5.0 - we can provide an explicit "stable ID" api for users who need it, and it will remove the core dependency on WeakMap.

The following APIs are not actually web APIs, they are instead JavaScript APIs:

• stdweb::web::Date
• stdweb::web::TypedArray
• stdweb::web::ArrayBuffer
• stdweb::web::error::IError
• stdweb::web::error::Error
• stdweb::web::error::TypeError

Therefore they should be moved into core.

I believe the above list is thorough, but I might have missed a couple APIs.

@Pauan I think you can add SecurityError to that list.

[Pauan]

@vitiral But SecurityError is a DOM error, right? Am I missing something?

Bump -- any ETA on this at all? Especially the first one; it's mildly annoying to keep around extra copies of the same trait, now that it's been standardized.

[koute]

@nic-hartley I have this work started on a private branch, but it's currently on the backburner.

@koute Anything you'd like help with? I've been using stdweb (and cargo web) lately; I'm happy to contribute back.
