Fixes issue #2353.
I've also alphabetically sorted all the options so they're easier to find and maintain, and used the standard default formatting throughout.
There are various options which are mentioned by the command line tool but aren't documented in the README. I'm afraid I don't have enough information to complete them (or know whether they're actually worth documenting) but they are these.
Undocumented compress options
------
global_defs
ie8
switches
unsafe_methods
Note also that pure_getters was documented incorrectly in the README
as defaulting to `false`, but it actually defaults to `"strict"`.
Undocumented mangle options
-----
cache
ie8
keep_fnames
properties
reserved
Undocumented beautify options
-----
ie8
source_map
webkit
- 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`
- remove `bin/extract-props.js`
- limit exposure of internal APIs
