We have just tagged the latest beta version of remoteStorage.js 2.0.0, which we believe should work at least as well as v1.2.3 as a drop-in replacement for all of your apps. (Some apps are already using this version in production.)
We would like to invite all app developers to try out this beta version for themselves, and report any issues (that don’t exist in v1.2.3) on GitHub!
Release notes
remoteStorage 2.0.0 is an almost entirely non-breaking update for app developers (unless you still use bower to manage JS dependencies). It contains a few important bugfixes and some nice enhancements. But most of the work has been done under the hood, and on the development and documentation tools.
The source code has been ported to TypeScript, in order to facilitate safer and easier refactoring of the codebase. Thus, JS API documentation has been switched from JSDoc to TypeDoc, and the ReadTheDocs build environment had to be creatively adapted to support more modern node.js and TypeScript functionality. You can also access documentation for different versions there now, with the 2.0.0 docs being available under the “latest” tag.
Many thanks to all the good people who contributed to this release — you rock! In alphabetical order: @DougReeder, Eddie Dunn, @galfert, @johannesjo, @iLiviu, @michielbdejong, @pjbollinger, @raucao, @rosano, @silverbucket.
