- mention performance anomaly in Node 7 and drop from CI
- remove unused npm "scripts"
- mark browserify dependency as optional
- stop `test/mozilla-ast.js` from spamming console output in later versions of Node.js
those were not optimised for `unused` before, which made it necessary for `reduce_vars` to have separate steps for `keep_fnames`

Bookmarklet for instance implicitedly assumes a "completion value" without using `return`.
The `expression` option now supports such use cases.
Optimisations on IIFEs also enhanced.

Modules like webpack and grunt-contrib-uglify still uses `ast.transform(compressor)` before `Compressor.compress(ast)` was introduced.
Workaround this compatibility issue by deactivating `reduce_vars` in such case.
Also fix use case with omitted `options` when calling `Compressor()`.
fixes#1516
- support arrays, objects & AST_Node
- support `"a.b":1` on both cli & API
- emit warning if variable is modified
- override top-level variables
fixes#1416closes#1198closes#1469
- assign statement does not count towards variable usage by default
- only works with assignments on the same scope level as declaration
- can be disabled with `unused` set to "keep_assign"
- `toplevel` to drop unused top-level variables and/or functions
- `top_retain` to whitelist top-level exceptions
closes#1450
Has little or no impact on minification size in the majority of
cases but can speed up rollup builds significantly.
This sequences change also has the beneficial side effect of avoiding
"stack size exceeded" errors on very large input files.
The user is free to alter the sequences limit if they are so inclined.
The previous sequences limit was 2000. 20 is often sufficient.
catch identifier is mangled correctly for ES5 standards-compliant JS engines by default.
Unconditionally use the ie8 if/do-while workaround whether or not --screw-ie8 is enabled.
To support non-standard ie8 javascript use: uglifyjs --support-ie8
The option added in fbbaa42ee5 wasn't
being respected inside object literals, so quoted property names would
still be stripped out with this option.
This is mostly a corner-case, but useful when the output is passed to
something like the Closure compiler, where quoted property names can be
used to prevent mangling.
* Don't interpret strings with escaped content as directive
* Don't interpret strings after empty statement as directive
* Adapt output to prevent strings being represent as directive
* Introduce UGLIFY_DEBUG to allow internal testing like EXPECT_DIRECTIVE
