Ember 1.0 RC5


Ember.js 1.0 RC5 has been released and is now available from the
main website as well as builds.emberjs.com.
RC5 fixes several regressions and bugs found in RC4. Notably:

  • A performance regression caused by a change to run loop scheduling has
    been fixed. Thanks to Erik Bryn for
    working on this.
  • Promises returned from a route's model hook could cause the app to
    hang on page refresh. This has been fixed thanks to Alex Matchneer.
  • The ember-testing package, which contains additional helpers for
    testing Ember.js apps, is no longer included in the production build.
    This means less JavaScript for end users to load over the network.

Thank you to everyone who filed issues and pull requests. Please try out
RC5 in your applications and report any issues or regressions you find
by filing an issue on GitHub.
Lastly, thanks to Stefan Penner, who
has been busting his tail to get Ember.js to the 1.0 finish line,
including doing the release engineering for these release candidates.
Thanks Stef!
