Announcement: remoteStorage.js 0.7.2 released

[Niklas Cathor]

Happy to announce that remoteStorage.js 0.7.2 has been released! Links for the built version are below.

The most important changes compared to 0.7.1 are:

* the internal handling of access and caching settings has been refactored, this brings two API improvements:

** remoteStorage.claimAccess no longer functions asynchronously, so the boilerplate code can be changed from:

  remoteStorage.claimAccess('something', 'rw').then(function() {

    remoteStorage.displayWidget();

  });

  to:

  remoteStorage.claimAccess('something', 'rw');

  remoteStorage.displayWidget();

** the same applies to the BaseClient#use and BaseClient#release methods

  as this is not a major release, those methods still return a promise, so existing code will still work the way it did.

* The widget showed a few problems in some firefox versions (related to the new button design introduced in 0.7.1), these have been resolved.

A detailed list of changes can also be found on github: https://github.com/remotestorage/remotestorage.js/issues?milestone=8&page=1&state=closed

Have fun!
