1.2

1.2 is a mature release with multiple breaking changes.

Read MIGRATING.txt for details.

Improvements and bug fixes:

• Reworked the innards of instantiation mechanism (extend())
• Improved performance of instantiation (constructor, deepClone()) and events
• No longer requiring Underscore.js - can be replaced with NoDash or LoDash
• Properly isolated from window, supporting AMD and CommonJS thanks to Universal Module Header (umh.js)
• Enabled strict mode for all scripts, avoided arguments.callee and such
• Fixed hooking events (fuse()) with names of standard properties: 'toString'
• Fixed improper length calculation if not _owning and nesting over an existing key (replacing)
• Fixed cloning of _mergeProps and _shareProps by extend()
• Fixed sqim._() returning _.chain(), not just _()

New features:

• Added mix-ins (Sqimitive.Core's static and instance mixIn() methods)
• Added nestEx() method (nest() calls it) with a more convenient semantics for hooking (single argument format and detailed return value)
• Allowed _childClass to be an indirect reference (array or string)
• Improved assignChildren():
  • added options.childClass instead of always using _childClass
  • now returning array of nested and removed sqimitives
  • removed handling of resp.data: https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/1.1.x/security/#json-security
• Improved assignResp():
  • now setting options.assignResp
  • added options.schema instead of always using _respToOpt
  • added special _respToOpt[''] key
  • _respToOpt function values may now return non-array
• Added Base.getSet(), findKey() methods
• Event handlers can now specify post-action callback (eobj.post property)
• Added Base.chunk() and Ordered.findIndex()/findLastIndex() helper methods
• Added Sqimitive._, Sqimitive.jQuery.$ properties, Sqimitive.Base._() method
• Added ability to give names to constructors (extend()) to aid in debugging
• Added Sqimitive.Async class as an alternative to "promises"
