Backbone.js 0.5.0 Released (with pushState)
I'd be curious to hear from anyone who thinks that this sort of parallel hashchange/pushState support is a <i>bad</i> idea. It should prove to be controversial at the least.<p>* <a href="http://www.documentcloud.org/public/#search/guantanamo" rel="nofollow">http://www.documentcloud.org/public/#search/guantanamo</a><p>* <a href="http://www.documentcloud.org/public/search/guantanamo" rel="nofollow">http://www.documentcloud.org/public/search/guantanamo</a><p>People who don't care much about Internet Explorer support often say to just use pushState, and let IE users endure full page refreshes ... but that's not really an acceptable way to build a responsive web app.<p>Hopefully, having the same structure for pushState and hash-based URLs, with transparent upgrades in both directions, is a sane way to bridge these sort of applications to the future.
