Description

@nicolaskruchten

Here's what we're going to do for v2, targeting a release in January or February 2020:

  • switch to native-promise-only and officially drop support for IE9 and IE10
  • stop exporting D3
  • stop exporting Plotly.plot
  • drop area, contourgl and pointcloud traces
  • drop support for polar plots in scatter (aka "micropolar"?) i.e. scatter.r and scatter.t and layout.angularaxis and layout.radialaxis and anything else related (cc @alexcjohnson anything else I missed?)

For reference, the primary trigger for version 2.0 is the native-promise-only change, with which we fully drop support for IE 9/10, even though that support has been eroding severely over the last couple of years. This change is driven by a desire to remove function constructors from as many of our bundles as possible for security reasons, as tracked in #897. Since we're doing a v2, we're trying to shed as much deprecated stuff as we can without being otherwise too-disruptive.
