version problem

[battuashwik]

Do not use ~v0.4.10 as it has handlebars 1.0.0 which is not compatible with the present version of ember ( rc-6 ) and gives an error.

For now ~0.4.9 is the right version.

@dgeb would you accept a PR to use the handlebars npm library instead of packaging one internally?

@battuashwik that is correct - I created v0.4.10 for those who want to work with ember-latest.

@mixonic sounds good to me - thanks in advance!

@dgeb I looked at the situation and new understanding has come to light.

Basically, grunt-ember-templates is dependent on handlebars and on ember itself for the compiler. Though there is a npm module for handlebars, the one for ember is way out of date (pre2 or something). So an easy move is not possible.

Possible next steps: NPMize Ember again. Explore an idea I have about apps providing versioned JS files back to the NPM modules they have as dependencies. Include ember and handlebars runtime with grunt-ember-templates so it is at least easy to use one unified version.

Probable next steps: Weep over my beer.

@mixonic It seems to me that declaring a peerDependency on ember, which then is dependent on handlebars, is the right approach. However, without reliable dependencies, I will join you for that beer 😢 🍻 😢

I'm going to close this now, since I've added a note about versioning to the README. Basically, this plugin tracks ember-latest, so you may need an older version to work with a particular release of ember/handlebars.

The dependency issues that @mixonic and I discussed run a bit deeper and probably deserve a thread of their own.
