0.8.0

A rewrite that uses IndexedDB instead of localStorage, and that adds support for distributed versioning through conditional requests (see https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-dejong-remotestorage-01.txt for how this works with ETags).

0.8.0 Release Candidate 1

Overview

• Rewritten: RemoteStorage, WireClient, BaseClient, Sync, IndexedDB
• Supports the three latest spec versions:
  • 2012.04 (http://www.w3.org/community/unhosted/wiki/RemoteStorage-2012.04)
  • remotestorage-00 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-dejong-remotestorage-00)
  • remotestorage-01 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-dejong-remotestorage-01)
• The default cache backend changed to indexedDB
• Modularized build (build/components.json lists groups and their dependencies)
• Removed internal use of AMD. Everything is nested below the global RemoteStorage namespace now.
• Added 'inspect' debug widget. If debug support is built in, use remoteStorage.inspect() in your app to try it.

Changes to the API

• Global 'remoteStorage' object is now an instance of RemoteStorage
• Caching & Access settings are persisted and survive a redirect
• remoteStorage.claimAccess no longer returns a promise (was deprecated in 0.7.1)
• BaseClient#use/BaseClient#release are deprecated in favor of BaseClient#cache
• Added BaseClient#scope() to get BaseClient instances of paths nested below the module root.
• Made validation schemas global (schemas from other modules can be referred to using: /)
• Added 'inspect' debug widget. If debug support is built in, use remoteStorage.inspect() in your app to try it.
• Deprectated the "util" part. It contained a lot of utility functions that bloated the library and are also
  available in the same or similar form from third-party libraries.
  Until the next major release a subset of the "util" object will still be available (see "src/legacy.js" for
  a list of methods that are included).
