debug module violates Microsoft's pattern

[dodo1292]

Hey everyone,

the "debug" plugin in the file "jquery.fancytree.debug.js" violates Microsoft's pattern, as you can see in the following stackoverflow-thread.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11980458/bundler-not-including-min-files

If I define a script bundle in my asp.net application the .debug.js-file is always loaded instead of the main file "jquery.fancytree.js".

Best wishes,
Dominik

I did a quick google search, and looked at the source code, but I am still not sure what the debug module does. I presume that is a US patent? Software patents are not valid in the EU. I believe that the author is in Germany. Is that correct? Warm Regards Chris

@dodo1292 the debug module is an experimental extension that makes Fancytree more verbose to log events and callbacks. It is not finished yet.
I wasn't aware of this naming convention (*.debug.js handled specially by MS), but I think I can simply rename the module. Thanks for reporting this.

@clozinski Yes, I am living in Germany, but why do you think this is related to software patents?

@mar10 Perfect, thank you :-) What do you think, how long does it take to fix it?

It will be part of the next release.
