IE11 deprecation note

[pako81]

Added planned IE11 deprecation for next core version in the 10.13 Release Notes.

Question just to be precise:

• It is already dropped because of dependency upgrades made in 10.13
• or it will be dropped with the next release AFTER 10.13 because of upcoming dependency upgrades?

LGTM. This means that we still support IE11 for running the classic web UI with an ownCloud 10.13.0 server.

But 10.14.0 will not support IE11 (some things might still work, but no guarantee)

We have seen that the JS dependencies updates done in 10.13 already broke things in core in combination with IE11 (and possible in other apps where they have been applied as well?). For this reason, as of oC 10.14.0/11 IE11 support will be discontinued.

For me this sounds quite strange:
We have seen that the JS dependencies updates done in 10.13 already broke things in core in combination with IE11 (and possible in other apps where they have been applied as well?)
Which means we support a browser where stuff is already broken for this browser.

Imho, an additional release note would be good that tells that already some IE11 things might not be fully functional due to necessary dependeny upgrades made in 10.13 This would complete the IE11 deprecation note.

owncloud/core#40934 fixed an IE11 problem in core.
files_mediaviewer is a "newer" app and has always been known to not be supported on IE11.

IMO there are no more known issues in core 10.13 with IE11. So we can continue to support it for this release.
Is anyone else aware of another IE11 problem in 10.13 that would block things?

The notice is forward looking, always was. Yes, we fixed an issue for IE11 in 10.13 now, therefor we decided to do the depreciation warning for the next version. If we find 10.14 works, we still have an out and can continue to support.
