1.2 beta feature - Filter Enhancements

[chris thatcher]

Filters are now all provided two additional pieces of information.  These are 'target' and 'method'. Each type of filter needs to provide these in a different way to ensure backward api compatibility but its pretty easy to demonstrate each.

$.filters([{

        id        : "#exampleBeforeFilter",

        target    : "MyApp.Controllers.*",

        before    : "([a-z]*)",

        advice    : function(event){

var advisee = arguments[arguments.length - 1];

            log.debug('Adding normalized event state to event scoped model %s.%s',

advisee.target, advisee.method);

            var params = event.params('parameters');

            

            event.

                m({admin:('admin' in params)?true:false }).

                m(event.params());

        }

    }

Is this feature available in 1.2rc? I've downloaded the js file but
got no success!
