A new stable release of the JavaScriptMVC framework was released yesterday Justin Meyer developed it, while working with us on a new Web application. Some features like the new custom events are direct results of this project. He did an excellent job!

New features include:

• Env.js/Shrinksafe based compression: A custom env to simulate the browser. As the browser encounters script tags, it adds them to a collection and then compresses them. This means instant file concat and compression from the command line with no extra work.
• Env.js Testing: Prior to 1.5, tests ran in the browser only. With Env, the same tests can be run from the command line. Great for projects where you need a quick way of checking if functionality works before check-in.
• Documentation:New JavaScript based documentation library split between JSDoc and NaturalDocs.
• Code Generators: Added code generators and made building custom ones easy too by using EJS.
• Scaffolding: Helps you develop iteratively by connecting to default Rest services and providing an easily expandable CRUD interface.
• Engines+Plugins: Added a command line plugin and dependency installer. So, if a developer wanted a jQuery plugin, he can install it from the command line, and it will also grab jQuery.
• Custom Event Delegation: Besides improving event delegation to cover all the cases that even live doesn’t do, they’ve expanded it to include custom events such as drag+drop, lasso, hoverenter, mousenter. Developers can have the benefits of event delegation with these complex events.
• Easy Update: JavaScriptMVC can update itself from the command line.

    reverse_and_create : function(files){
        var sorted = [], instances =[];
        for(var id in files){
            sorted.push(files[id])
        }
        for(var i = 0; i < sorted.length; i++){
            if (sorted[i].id) {
                instances.push(this.create_as_existing(sorted[i]));
            }
        }
        return instances;
    },

    do_not_reverse_and_create : function(files){
        if(files != undefined){
            var instances =[];
            for(var i = 0; i < files.length; i++){
                if (files[i].id) {
                    instances.push(this.create_as_existing(files[i]));
                }
            }
            return instances;
        }
    } 

What a shame!
