Support Microsoft Edge

[le717]

Win10 comes out July 29, and I'm almost sure the new UA is on MSDN.

@gabceb How do you think MS Edge should be handled? I would refrain from stuffing it under browser.msie. The EdgeHTML engine may be a fork from Trident, but it is so radically changed that grouping it with IE is unfair. How about browser.msedge or even (if possible) browser.edge?

Any progress on this?

browser.edge plz

I'm looking into this as I type this message, seems we already detect it but need a small bit of refactoring to expose it.

@gabceb My question above still stands with an addition: the "name" key. Because the browser name is officially Microsoft Edge, I think all IDs to it should be msedge. msie happened because of legacy UAs, hence why we use that. With Edge, we could possibly avoid that and simply use edge but I am reluctant to because msedge would be inline with the official name.

BTW, here is the resulting browser object for MS Edge:

{
    "version": "13.10586",
    "versionNumber": 13,
    "win": true,
    "desktop": true,
    "msedge": true,
    "name": "msedge",
    "platform": "win"
}

According to Wikipedia Microsoft Edge is a web browser developed by Microsoft so we can assume Microsoft is part of the name hence should be named msedge. Google Chrome is actually called Chrome as per Google's download page.

We also have this post on the official blog: "We’re excited to share Joe’s announcement that Project Spartan’s official name is Microsoft Edge.", so msedge it is. I'll finish up my changes and submit a PR ASAP. :)

Do it

Microsoft Edge is now supported in v0.1.0 under the key browser.msedge. Enjoy. :)
