Reponsive Images & Picture element

Update on Picture element from Attiks:
“For the moment we cannot use the real
tag, because consensus on either syntax or implementation by browsers. So we need to change the syntax the a based solution (div might work as well, but will give problems with inline pictures)”
The issue worked on by @nod_ & @attiks at RTBC #1883526: Decide on the picture polyfill to use

Javascript

Drupal 8 is updated to Jquery 2.0, #1974340: Update to jQuery 2

With Dries confirming no support for IE 8 in Drupal 8, support needed to remove IE 8 at #1993322: [Meta] Drop IE8 support or look for the ie8 tag. This issue is about listing all IE8-related issues and tracking the progress of IE8 removal. Everything that will be undone here should be ported to the ie8 module to make sure it's possible for contrib to add back the compatibility

There has been lot of work towards improving the front performance & a large part of this has been through js clean ups 7 enhancements. Want to start contributing to javascript in Drupal 8, below are some places to start.
