Deprecate context property

[mgol]

Fixes: http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/13801

[mgol]

I hope that's all that's needed here, I'm not familiar with syntax so I just wrote what I saw under the selector property. :)

We should probably put a note in longdesc, but I can do that after pulling in your change. Thanks for catching this!

[mgol]

Right. I'll add a note in a moment unless you're into it now.

[kswedberg]

If you're up for doing it, go for it. thanks! 👍

We also need a slug for deprecated-1.10.

[mgol]

I introduced changes you mentioned, added a version/1.3 slug in selector.xml and added a deprecated/deprecated-1.10 slug. I'm not sure what to do about the URL to the blog post since it's not there yet. ;)

[kswedberg]

ooooh! If it's not deprecated until 1.10, then we should hold off on merging it in. As soon as it's released, add the URL, and I'll merge the PR and publish. cool?

[mgol]

Sure! We have a race condition here. ;)

[mgol]

Is everything else OK? I'd like for this URL to be the only thing needed to fix.

jQuery 1.10 and 2.0.1 just went out so I updated the link and rebased to master. Can you pull it? :)

[kswedberg]

Thank you!

[mgol]

This needs to be published to http://api.jquery.com/context/ as well.

[kswedberg]

Yes, thanks. 👍 It's published now.

[mgol]

Thanks!

By the way, IMHO those initial paragraphs about deprecation could use some more style accent to catch people's eyes, now if you quickly scan the page you may easily not notice this information.

Is there a recommendation for saving the query or "find/filter" steps the user took to get to the current .context and .selector? Or is that simply considered unreliable now? is there a better forum for this discussion?

The forum is a better place to ask questions. In general, any use of .context indicates bad assumptions or a bad plugin API.
