Restarting fork of Hammer.js

[squadette]

Hello,

I'd like to spend some time on maintaining Hammer.js and making it a bit better. I'm also interested in react-hammerjs which is maintained in separate repository.

The forked package name is @squadette/hammerjs.

The goals of development are very limited:

• fix very well known bugs;
• do not break things for people;
• improve documentation to help people to better debug their issues;
• modernize build system to allow for improved velocity.

The development is based on 2.0.8 (the last released version). Namespaced package name is used (@squadette/hammerjs). The first milestone is going to be 2.1.0, described in a separate tracking issue.

Master branch of original repository contains A LOT of changes that were aimed at HammerJS 3.0. Unfortunately, packaged master breaks for me, so as a first step we'll begin with clean slate of 2.0.8 and then see how it goes.

Documentation is also updated as a fork of original website: https://squadette.github.io/hammer.js/.

You can help by testing pre-release version:

• confirm that your favorite fixes work;
• report regressions;
• suggest pull-requests that could be applied to current codebase;
• report anything that is not mentioned, not described well enough or just incorrect in the documentation pages.

Thank you,

[squadette]
