Update swagger-tools dependency?

[ashtarcommunications]

The swagger-tools dependency is currently at 0.10.1, which is the latest release, but there's been several important commits since then, for example adding support for "nested controllers":
apigee-127/swagger-tools#422

It seems like their release cadence is pretty slow.

Would it be possible to update package.json to use something like:
"swagger-tools": "apigee-127/swagger-tools#6851b2aa55b3aac93e5cd7f9643d15d167733b36

Would make it easier to use nested controllers without manually figuring out the dependency mess...

As a side note on this, I'm interested to know if there's any thoughts on the deprecation of swagger-tools (read all about it)?

That's perhaps why you're seeing a slow release cadence - I think they're focusing more on getting Sway going now.

Thanks for the link, I wasn't up on the developments with Sway. Looks like it's been at 1.0 since last April - I would also be curious to hear about any plans to make the switch in any other projects with swagger-tools as a dependency.

For what it's worth, if anyone else needs to get nested controllers working now by overriding the dependency version manually, a custom npm shrinkwrap worked fine.
