Lots and lots of work on the master branch this week to do with routing. It’s getting better every day

###Weekly Wrapup #4

  • As of d1fd4e Handlebars is not bundled with Ember, if you’re not already using it in your application you’ll be told about it. And if you’re using rails the ember-rails gem includes it for you anyway.

  • 10f7ab introduces Ember.ObjectProxy and some Ember.ObjectController sugar

  • Routing changes include adding redirectsTo

  • The router now initializes at a root state.

  • goToState has been replaced by transitionTo in statemanagers

  • setupContext/setupControllers has been renamed connectOutlets

  • The {{outlet}} helper has been added. Check out this file for details. This gives the ability for a controller to fill in the currentView for a given area.

  • In PR #268 a new Errors object has been proposed for ember-data, designed to plug and play with Rails

EmberJS 0.9.8 just released with a shiny new website. Check it out http://emberjs.com.

###Weekly Wrapup #3

  • EmberJS 0.9.8 just released, check out the changelog.

  • Most importantly routing is now built right in to core, check out a couple of blog posts about it here, here and here. Beware it’s not 100% finished, but its pretty close.

  • Bindings being cacheable by default and views reserving context are now on by default. If you’re not ready to change yet, set ENV.CP_DEFAULT_CACHEABLE = false or ENV.VIEW_PRESERVES_CONTEXT = false to change them back, but beware the option is being removed with the 1.1 release.

  • The handlebars action helper now takes a context argument to pass instead of the jQuery event.

Not too many changes to master this week, but looks like baked-in routing might be just around the corner.

###Weekly Wrapup #2

  • Routing: There’s been a bit of action on the routing branch in the last few days, and it’s looking really good, check out a description from wycats here.

  • There’s a bit of a discussion going on here on implementing a SortedArrayProxy into core.

  • ghempton’s route-manager got some cleaning up, it now generates hashbang URLs when pushState is off and has fixed the initial page load render bug.

  • Ember data has a couple of pull requests fixing a couple of bugs with parent-child relationships. With these changes creating a parent and it’s children in one transaction doesn’t lose the children.
