Well, the start of this thread stated (emphasis mine): "One modification is that the 'connect' event's source port is exposed in .source *instead of* in .ports[0], to make it closer to the API for cross-document messaging. Maybe we should make this change to Shared Workers as well."
Not populating ports[0] with the port is a non-backwards-compatible change, I think. Is there a different proposal on the table now, such as keeping the current value of ports[0] but additionally setting the source attribute to the same value? -atw On Tue, Apr 10, 2012 at 10:56 PM, Jonas Sicking <jo...@sicking.cc> wrote: > On Tue, Apr 10, 2012 at 10:44 PM, David Levin <le...@google.com> wrote: > > What is the backwards compatibility story for websites already using > > SharedWorkers with the interface that has been in the spec for over a > year > > now? > > > > There are sites using them.
