Backbone 1.1 support

[rubenstolk]

As far as I can see, there is only one issue preventing Epoxy to work with Backbone 1.1 which is the use of constructor overriding for the binding. In Backbone 1.1 we should use the initialize method, something like:

/* REPLACED constructor with initialize

    // Backbone.View constructor override:
    // sets up binding controls around call to super.
    constructor: function(options) {
        _.extend(this, _.pick(options||{}, viewProps));
        viewSuper(this, 'constructor', arguments);
        this.applyBindings();
    },

*/

    initialize: function() {
        this.on('afterRender', function() {
            this.applyBindings();
        }, this);
    },

What error do you get? Because I am using Backbone 1.1 for a new project and haven't had any problems in the past days with epoxy.

I realize that it must be the combination with Backbone.LayoutManager. Whoever would properly marry LM and Epoxy would be the hero!!!

Sorry @rubenstolk, the union of dissimilar plugins is not an appealing prospect as a library developer... It's the wild-west once you go above the base library, and everyone is on their own release schedule.

I have a fix for this in layoutmanager. https://github.com/tbranyen/backbone.layoutmanager/pull/442

[gmac]

Okay, cool – although just for the record, this is the Epoxy community trying to resolve differences, not me trying to impose control over LayoutManager... that could make a really awkward conversation with Tim (@tbranyen) this year at BackboneConf!

[worldjoe]

I'll let Tim know you told me to do it. just kidding of course.

Seriously though, never heard of BackboneConf. I was planning on going to Roost and JQuery in September. Oddly the website says "Coming July 2014", but has no location nor signup page.

[gmac]

Yeah, they did a super late signup last year as well... they may have announced that tentative date six months ago or something.

[worldjoe]

My pull request has been accepted by Tim. :) Now you can use Epoxy with LayoutManager.

[tbranyen]

Yup, I'll be pushing out a 0.10 release very soon. I need to do some housekeeping, but you should be able to use master for now.

You guys are all pretty awesome...
