8.x-1.0-alpha1, 2016-09-03
Initial release of D8 version which should allow for generic use of the VWO
code on a Drupal site. This is a slightly feature limited release as a few of
the features added to 7.x-1.x are not available (yet).
There have been large changes to how javascript can be added to a site, with an
outright ban on inline js, plus a move to footer for Drupal Core js. This
prevents the VWO Smart Code from being inserted verbatim by a module, and if we
include it at the top, will cause jQuery to be loaded twice.
The 8.x-1.x branch is based off a direct port of 7.x-1.x branch. The 8.x-2.x
branch will fork off this release and use more of the Drupal Core
functionality.
Changes from 7.x-1.4 version and some notes:
- Synchronous code not available; default was Asynchronous anyway.
- All instrcutions and external URLs updated to the new interface and
terminology.
- Global Custom URL not available as a setting - probably not that useful
anyway.
- Smart Code is added to FOOTER as this is where Drupal 8 adds such
attachments.
- The "Smart Code Checker" will FAIL to find the code installed for any
version.
Thanks to IT-Cru who prompted me to get on with this port.
