JOB has been updated to version 1.1. The changes are minimal and largely to resolve a couple of minor issues;
- The "self." prefix has been removed as it is both unnecessary and mildly irritating (the much touted performance improvements given by the self. prefix are largely illusory).
- Classes can now be nested in classes. There were never any good reasons for this limitation except that it seemed wrong to allow it. Now it seems right - what's so rare about repeatable elements with repeatable elements in them?
In the near future JOB will be seeing a major overhaul, turning it on its head. The main aim is to reduce the need for direct DOM scanning to find JOBjects, and instead to scan the Javascript objects first. This should see a bit of a performance improvement, and also make it easier to indulge in further shenanigans eg. asynchronous JOB HTML loading. Watch this space.
