Expanded the current documentation to include:
- What the value of `"some"` means based on `lib/output.js`.
- Information about the `Function` overload parameters and expected output.
Clarify that the --source-map filename option does NOT change the source map output filename but does set the 'file' attribute within the output source map. This was already documented in the API section of the README so I just copied that to the CLI options section, and a fragment to the CLI summary.
- inline single-use function declarations as expressions when permissible
- depend on `reduce_vars`
- enabled by default
- disable for speed critical code
fixes#2464
- empty body
- single `AST_Return`
- single `AST_SimpleStatement`
- avoid `/*#__PURE__*/`
Miscellaneous
- enhance single-use function substitution
fixes#281
- rename `screw_ie8` to `ie8`
- rename `mangle.except` to `mangle.reserved`
- rename `mangle.properties.ignore_quoted` to `mangle.properties.keep_quoted`
- compact `sourceMap` options
- more stringent verification on input `options`
- toplevel shorthands
- `ie8`
- `keep_fnames`
- `toplevel`
- `warnings`
- support arrays and unquoted string values on CLI
- drop `fromString` from `minify()`
- `minify()` no longer handles any `fs` operations
- unify order of operations for `mangle_properties()` on CLI & API
- `bin/uglifyjs` used to `mangle_properties()` before even `Compressor`
- `minify()` used to `mangle_properties()` after `Compressor` but before `mangle_names()`
- both will now do `Compressor`, `mangle_names()` then `mangle_properties()`
- `options.parse` / `--parse` for parser options beyond `bare_returns`
- add `mangle.properties.builtins` to disable built-in reserved list
- disable with `--mangle-props builtins` on CLI
- `warnings` now off by default
- add `--warn` and `--verbose` on CLI
- drop `--enclose`
- drop `--export-all`
- drop `--reserved-file`
- use `--mangle reserved` instead
- drop `--reserve-domprops`
- enabled by default, disable with `--mangle-props domprops`
- drop `--prefix`
- use `--source-map base` instead
- drop `--lint`

- mention performance anomaly in Node 7 and drop from CI
- remove unused npm "scripts"
- mark browserify dependency as optional
- stop `test/mozilla-ast.js` from spamming console output in later versions of Node.js
those were not optimised for `unused` before, which made it necessary for `reduce_vars` to have separate steps for `keep_fnames`
docs update by @kzc
closes#1577
Bookmarklet for instance implicitedly assumes a "completion value" without using `return`.
The `expression` option now supports such use cases.
Optimisations on IIFEs also enhanced.
fixes#354fixes#543fixes#625fixes#628fixes#640closes#1293
Modules like webpack and grunt-contrib-uglify still uses `ast.transform(compressor)` before `Compressor.compress(ast)` was introduced.
Workaround this compatibility issue by deactivating `reduce_vars` in such case.
Also fix use case with omitted `options` when calling `Compressor()`.
fixes#1516
- support arrays, objects & AST_Node
- support `"a.b":1` on both cli & API
- emit warning if variable is modified
- override top-level variables
fixes#1416closes#1198closes#1469
- assign statement does not count towards variable usage by default
- only works with assignments on the same scope level as declaration
- can be disabled with `unused` set to "keep_assign"
- `toplevel` to drop unused top-level variables and/or functions
- `top_retain` to whitelist top-level exceptions
closes#1450
