Which Internet Explorer versions does HTML5 BOILERPLATE support? - html

Can someone please elaborate on which versions of Internet Expolorer the HTML5 ★ BOILERPLATE framework supports?
Does it have support for IE versions 7 & 8?

The current version supports IE8+. From https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate#features:
Cross-browser compatible (Chrome, Firefox, IE8+, Opera, Safari).
Boilderplate v4 supports IE6+, but is no longer maintained:
HTML5 Boilerplate v4 provides legacy browser support (IE 6+, Firefox 3.6+, Safari 4+), but is no longer actively developed.

HTML 5 doesn't work in most versions of IE. So HTML5 boilerplate uses Modenizer and X-UA-Compatible to make most of it work. You can read about all of it on their github profile.

What browsers does AngularJS work with?

This can be a most common question. But no any clue about browser versions. More over, Angular site itself says as following.
What browsers does Angular work with?
We run our extensive test suite against the following browsers: the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Safari for iOS, as well as Internet Explorer versions 9-11. See Internet Explorer Compatibility for more details on supporting legacy IE browsers.
If a browser is untested, it doesn't mean it won't work. You can also expect browsers to work that share a large part of their codebase with a browser we test, such as Opera 15 or newer (uses the Blink engine), or the various Firefox derivatives.
— AngularJS FAQ - What browsers does AngularJS work with?
However, there is no any note which versions are supported. I googled, but couldn't find. Any one let me know what browsers and their versions do support which version of angular ?
Browser support of AngularJS:
Internet Explorer: 9+
Versions 1.2 and later of AngularJS do not support Internet Explorer versions 6 or 7.
Versions 1.3 and later of AngularJS dropped support for Internet Explorer 8.
Opera 15+
Firefox, Safari, and Google Chrome
As mentioned in a StackOverflow Question here: Which versions of firefox does angularjs support?, since they say which IE version they support and not Chrome, Safari, or Firefox, it's safe to assume all the versions are working.
Version Support Status
Any version branch not shown in the following table (e.g. 1.6.x) is no longer being developed.
Version Status Comments
1.2.x Long Term Support Last version to provide IE 8 support
1.7.x Long Term Support See Long Term Support section below.
Long Term Support
At this time we will focus exclusively on providing fixes to bugs that satisfy at least one of the following criteria:
A security flaw is detected in the 1.7.x branch of the framework
One of the major browsers releases a version that will cause current production applications using AngularJS 1.7.x to stop working
The jQuery library releases a version that will cause current production applications using AngularJS 1.7.x to stop working.
— AngularJS Documentation - Version Support Status
According to AngularJS document:Internet Explorer Compatibility, the answer should be IE 9。
AngularJS 1.3 has dropped support for IE8. Read more about it on our blog. AngularJS 1.2 will continue to support IE8, but the core team does not plan to spend time addressing issues specific to IE8 or earlier.
The project currently supports and will attempt to fix bugs for IE9 and above. The continuous integration server runs all the tests against IE9, IE10, and IE11.

Is HTML5Shiv only for Internet Explorer

I am new to Web Development. I am currently looking at HTML 5 and I was wondering if HTML5Shiv is only for old Internet Explorers or it also works for other old Browsers of Firefox and Safari.
If you so much as bothered to glance at their project page, the answer would be right in front of you.
The HTML5 Shiv enables use of HTML5 sectioning elements in legacy
Internet Explorer and provides basic HTML5 styling for Internet
Explorer 6-9, Safari 4.x (and iPhone 3.x), and Firefox 3.x.

Is css3 -ms-flex available on non MS browsers?

I am doing some videos from Microsoft Virtual Academy and stumbled upon -ms-flex or so called Flexbox in css3.
I would like to implement a web app on html5 and css3 and this -ms-flex would help me very much.
Is this available in webkit or fennec based browsers on mobile devices?
If this can be used, are there any limitations of use?
Also are there any equivalent for those browser if that is not supported?
I found that : safari has webkit-box and maybe there are others for the rest of the browsers(Opera, Chrome and Mozilla or Dolphin)
Alright, extending from comment:
According to can_i_use, You can use flex box on many modern browsers with proper prefix:
WebKit browsers (Chrome, Safari, Android stocked browser, Chrome for Android, iOS Safari) with -webkit- prefix;
Gecko/Fennec browsers (Firefox, Firefox for Android) with -moz- prefix;
Trident browsers (IE 10) with -ms- prefix;
Presto browsers (Opera desktop) without prefix.
You should be able to find some tutorial/example on MDN, or (as usual) Google.

HTML5 vibration API support

I checked on http://caniuse.com/ but can't find anything about compatibility for the vibration API.
Which browsers support it?
Update [2014-03-07]: The Vibration API is now supported by Firefox, Chrome, and Opera. I've also made this information available on on caniuse.com.
Based on this article:
The Vibration API is still primarily unsupported. Firefox 16+ is
currently the only browser with support for the API.
According to Mozilla Developer Network it is supported in Chrome with prefix webkit, in Firefox 11+ with prefix moz and in Firefox 16+ without any prefix.
But as you can check in this Issue in Chromium as of now it is not supperted in Chrome and they seem to be in no hurry as Priority is 2(Normal).
It is not supported in Android strock browser as of now.

Ember.js browser support?

Is there a documented list of desktop browsers and versions which support Ember.js apps? That is, if I say an app developed in Ember.js will support IE 9+, FF 11+, Chrome 17+, Safari 5+, will I be overreaching or underreaching? If support is fluid, what does it depend on?
When doing new releases we run tests across all platforms available on BrowserStack. We have a couple test failures on some of the older platforms, but in practice they all do work. The biggest concern if you support older versions of IE is performance. However, it should still work properly. It definitely supports all modern browsers and mobile platforms, though built in touch support is limited.
It has been announced that Ember 2.0 will support IE9+, and that the 1.13.x series will be the last version to support IE 8.
Browser Supportability For Ember 2.x
Base on the Github README, https://github.com/emberjs/ember.js/
The following browsers versions are supported.
