• "strappy.mvc.View.bindDOMEvents()" is now automatically called immediately after the the view's "onReady " method.
• Added signal send trait to component.
• All signals are now sent through the component. But controllers can still call "this.sendSignal()".
• Stores, models, views and controllers are now correctly auto loaded.
• Component now waits for all of its stores, views and contollers to finish initializing and then calls "onAfterCmpInit()" on all of it's controllers.

• Added two state helper functions "getPublicState()" and "getPrivateState()".

2013-03-25

• Upgraded to use JSKK 1.1.
• Since JSKK 1.1 depends on RequireJS2, Strappy 1.2 also does. This means you should bootstrap your application with requirejs.
• Component dependencies auto load.
• !!EMPHASIS!! - You no longer need to create hundreds of SCRIPT tags. You only need 1 for your entire project.
• Added two new component "my" variables. "fullName" and "childSpace".

2013-03-12

• Deprecated the need for a State Store and a State Controller per Component.
• State is now defined in the Core Component file.
• "this.getParentComponent()" has been deprecated in favor of "this.cmp()".
• Components are now flagged as ready by calling: "this.cmp().setReady()".
• Setting and Getting state is now done by simply calling "this.setState()" and "this.getState()" from any class implementing the ComponentConnector Trait (Controllers, Views).
• Component Core now has the following set of events that can be hooked into.

• onConfigured
• onAfterInit
• onBeforeStateChange
• onStateChange
• onBeforeReadyState
• onReadyState

• Strappy no longer has any concept of "config". Instead, it considers private state as config.
• Two step component initiation is no longer required. You can now pass initial state to the Component's constructor.
• The use of "Component.configure()" is deprecated.
• The use of "Component.reconfigure()" is deprecated. Use the new state management instead.
