Mojito Release 0.5.0pr3

This is a special preview release of Mojito 0.5.0. It incorporates some significant re-architecting for performance. There are a few significant changes that break backwards compatibility, see below.

None of the NPM tags have changed. If you want to try this version, you need to ask for [email protected] explicitly.

!!! NOTE !!! This release DOES NOT pass our functional tests. This started as a rough prototype, and we're still cleaning it up.

Compatibility Changes

1. Controller from singleton back to instantiable

In pr1 we made a drastic change that was meant to be re-evaluated, and we just did. As a result, Controllers are back to its 0.4.x form. Essentially, controllers will be instantiated per request, per mojito instance, which means you can use them to store request specific information without bleeding between mojit instances and requests. The init method is not available anymore though. Here is an example:

 YUI.add('Foo', function(Y, NAME) {

     Y.namespace('mojito.controllers')[NAME] = {

         index: function(ac) {
             // this.foo = "provides a nice mechanism to store instance data."
         }

     };

 }, '0.0.1', {requires: ['mojito']});

2. mojito test no longer tests the framework

In the past, mojito test without any other parameter was running all unit tests for mojito framework, and this is no longer the case. We moved all the tests to arrow, more details here: https://github.com/yahoo/mojito/tree/develop/tests

You can continue using mojito test app path/to/app and mojito test mojit path/to/mojit, and the behavior is still the same.

Note: this change is only relevant for contributors.
