 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 1.5.1
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Q.any now annotates its error message to clarify that Q.any was involved and
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    includes only the last error emitted. (Ivan Etchart)
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Avoid domain.dispose during tests in preparation for Node.js 9. (Anna
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    Henningsen)
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 1.5.0
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Q.any gives an error message from the last rejected promise
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Throw if callback supplied to "finally" is invalid (@grahamrhay)
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Long stack trace improvements, can now construct long stack traces
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    across rethrows.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 1.4.1
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Address an issue that prevented Q from being used as a `<script>` for
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    Firefox add-ons. Q can now be used in any environment that provides `window`
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    or `self` globals, favoring `window` since add-ons have an an immutable
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    `self` that is distinct from `window`.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 1.4.0
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Add `noConflict` support for use in `<script>` (@jahnjw).
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 1.3.0
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Add tracking for unhandled and handled rejections in Node.js (@benjamingr).
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 1.2.1
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Fix Node.js environment detection for modern Browserify (@kahnjw).
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 1.2.0
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added Q.any(promisesArray) method (@vergara).
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    Returns a promise fulfilled with the value of the first resolved promise in
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    promisesArray. If all promises in promisesArray are rejected, it returns
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    a rejected promise.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 1.1.2
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Removed extraneous files from the npm package by using the "files"
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    whitelist in package.json instead of the .npmignore blacklist.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    (@anton-rudeshko)
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 1.1.1
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Fix a pair of regressions in bootstrapping, one which precluded
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    WebWorker support, and another that precluded support in
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    ``<script>`` usage outright. #607
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 1.1.0
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Adds support for enabling long stack traces in node.js by setting
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    environment variable `Q_DEBUG=1`.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Introduces the `tap` method to promises, which will see a value
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    pass through without alteration.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Use instanceof to recognize own promise instances as opposed to
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    thenables.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Construct timeout errors with `code === ETIMEDOUT` (Kornel Lesiński)
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - More descriminant CommonJS module environment detection.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Dropped continuous integration for Node.js 0.6 and 0.8 because of
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    changes to npm that preclude the use of new `^` version predicate
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    operator in any transitive dependency.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Users can now override `Q.nextTick`.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 1.0.1
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Adds support for `Q.Promise`, which implements common usage of the
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    ES6 `Promise` constructor and its methods. `Promise` does not have
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    a valid promise constructor and a proper implementation awaits
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    version 2 of Q.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Removes the console stopgap for a promise inspector. This no longer
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    works with any degree of reliability.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Fixes support for content security policies that forbid eval. Now
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    using the `StopIteration` global to distinguish SpiderMonkey
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    generators from ES6 generators, assuming that they will never
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    coexist.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 1.0.0
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | :cake: This is all but a re-release of version 0.9, which has settled
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | into a gentle maintenance mode and rightly deserves an official 1.0.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | An ambitious 2.0 release is already around the corner, but 0.9/1.0
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | have been distributed far and wide and demand long term support.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Q will now attempt to post a debug message in browsers regardless
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    of whether window.Touch is defined. Chrome at least now has this
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    property regardless of whether touch is supported by the underlying
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    hardware.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Remove deprecation warning from `promise.valueOf`. The function is
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    called by the browser in various ways so there is no way to
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    distinguish usage that should be migrated from usage that cannot be
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    altered.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.9.7
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - :warning: `q.min.js` is no longer checked-in.  It is however still
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    created by Grunt and NPM.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Fixes a bug that inhibited `Q.async` with implementations of the new
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    ES6 generators.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Fixes a bug with `nextTick` affecting Safari 6.0.5 the first time a
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    page loads when an `iframe` is involved.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Introduces `passByCopy`, `join`, and `race`.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Shows stack traces or error messages on the console, instead of
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    `Error` objects.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Elimintates wrapper methods for improved performance.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - `Q.all` now propagates progress notifications of the form you might
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    expect of ES6 iterations, `{value, index}` where the `value` is the
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    progress notification from the promise at `index`.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.9.6
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Fixes a bug in recognizing the difference between compatible Q
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    promises, and Q promises from before the implementation of "inspect".
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    The latter are now coerced.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Fixes an infinite asynchronous coercion cycle introduced by former
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    solution, in two independently sufficient ways.  1.) All promises
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    returned by makePromise now implement "inspect", albeit a default
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    that reports that the promise has an "unknown" state.  2.) The
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    implementation of "then/when" is now in "then" instead of "when", so
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    that the responsibility to "coerce" the given promise rests solely in
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    the "when" method and the "then" method may assume that "this" is a
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    promise of the right type.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Refactors `nextTick` to use an unrolled microtask within Q regardless
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    of how new ticks a requested. #316 @rkatic
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.9.5
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Introduces `inspect` for getting the state of a promise as
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    `{state: "fulfilled" | "rejected" | "pending", value | reason}`.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Introduces `allSettled` which produces an array of promises states
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    for the input promises once they have all "settled".  This is in
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    accordance with a discussion on Promises/A+ that "settled" refers to
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    a promise that is "fulfilled" or "rejected".  "resolved" refers to a
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    deferred promise that has been "resolved" to another promise,
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    "sealing its fate" to the fate of the successor promise.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Long stack traces are now off by default.  Set `Q.longStackSupport`
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    to true to enable long stack traces.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Long stack traces can now follow the entire asynchronous history of a
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    promise, not just a single jump.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Introduces `spawn` for an immediately invoked asychronous generator.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    @jlongster
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Support for *experimental* synonyms `mapply`, `mcall`, `nmapply`,
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    `nmcall` for method invocation.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.9.4
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - `isPromise` and `isPromiseAlike` now always returns a boolean
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    (even for falsy values). #284 @lfac-pt
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Support for ES6 Generators in `async` #288 @andywingo
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Clear duplicate promise rejections from dispatch methods #238 @SLaks
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Unhandled rejection API #296 @domenic
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    `stopUnhandledRejectionTracking`, `getUnhandledReasons`,
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    `resetUnhandledRejections`.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.9.3
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Add the ability to give `Q.timeout`'s errors a custom error message. #270
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    @jgrenon
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Fix Q's call-stack busting behavior in Node.js 0.10, by switching from
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    `process.nextTick` to `setImmediate`. #254 #259
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Fix Q's behavior when used with the Mocha test runner in the browser, since
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    Mocha introduces a fake `process` global without a `nextTick` property. #267
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Fix some, but not all, cases wherein Q would give false positives in its
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    unhandled rejection detection (#252). A fix for other cases (#238) is
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    hopefully coming soon.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Made `Q.promise` throw early if given a non-function.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.9.2
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Pass through progress notifications when using `timeout`. #229 @omares
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Pass through progress notifications when using `delay`.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Fix `nbind` to actually bind the `thisArg`. #232 @davidpadbury
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.9.1
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Made the AMD detection compatible with the RequireJS optimizer's `namespace`
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    option. #225 @terinjokes
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Fix side effects from `valueOf`, and thus from `isFulfilled`, `isRejected`,
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    and `isPending`. #226 @benjamn
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.9.0
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | This release removes many layers of deprecated methods and brings Q closer to
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | alignment with Mark Miller’s TC39 [strawman][] for concurrency. At the same
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | time, it fixes many bugs and adds a few features around error handling. Finally,
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | it comes with an updated and comprehensive [API Reference][].

							|  |  | ### API Cleanup
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | The following deprecated or undocumented methods have been removed.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | Their replacements are listed here:

 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | (*) Use of ``thisp`` is discouraged. For calling methods, use ``post`` or
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ``invoke``.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ### Alignment with the Concurrency Strawman
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | -   Q now exports a `Q(value)` function, an alias for `resolve`.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |     `Q.call`, `Q.apply`, and `Q.bind` were removed to make room for the
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |     same methods on the function prototype.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | -   `invoke` has been aliased to `send` in all its forms.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | -   `post` with no method name acts like `fapply`.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ### Error Handling
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | -   Long stack traces can be turned off by setting `Q.stackJumpLimit` to zero.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |     In the future, this property will be used to fine tune how many stack jumps
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |     are retained in long stack traces; for now, anything nonzero is treated as
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |     one (since Q only tracks one stack jump at the moment, see #144). #168
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | -   In Node.js, if there are unhandled rejections when the process exits, they
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |     are output to the console. #115
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ### Other
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | -   `delete` and `set` (née `put`) no longer have a fulfillment value.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | -   Q promises are no longer frozen, which
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |     [helps with performance](http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=1858).
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | -   `thenReject` is now included, as a counterpart to `thenResolve`.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | -   The included browser `nextTick` shim is now faster. #195 @rkatic.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ### Bug Fixes
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | -   Q now works in Internet Explorer 10. #186 @ForbesLindesay
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | -   `fbind` no longer hard-binds the returned function's `this` to `undefined`.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |     #202
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | -   `Q.reject` no longer leaks memory. #148
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | -   `npost` with no arguments now works. #207
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | -   `allResolved` now works with non-Q promises ("thenables"). #179
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | -   `keys` behavior is now correct even in browsers without native
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |     `Object.keys`. #192 @rkatic
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | -   `isRejected` and the `exception` property now work correctly if the
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |     rejection reason is falsy. #198
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ### Internals and Advanced
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | -   The internal interface for a promise now uses
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |     `dispatchPromise(resolve, op, operands)` instead of `sendPromise(op,
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |     resolve, ...operands)`, which reduces the cases where Q needs to do
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |     argument slicing.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | -   The internal protocol uses different operands. "put" is now "set".
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |     "del" is now "delete". "view" and "viewInfo" have been removed.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | -   `Q.fulfill` has been added. It is distinct from `Q.resolve` in that
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |     it does not pass promises through, nor coerces promises from other
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |     systems. The promise becomes the fulfillment value. This is only
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |     recommended for use when trying to fulfill a promise with an object that has
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |     a `then` function that is at the same time not a promise.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.8.12
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | - Treat foreign promises as unresolved in `Q.isFulfilled`; this lets `Q.all`
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |   work on arrays containing foreign promises. #154
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | - Fix minor incompliances with the [Promises/A+ spec][] and [test suite][]. #157
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |   #158
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | [Promises/A+ spec]: http://promises-aplus.github.com/promises-spec/
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | [test suite]: https://github.com/promises-aplus/promises-tests
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.8.11
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added ``nfcall``, ``nfapply``, and ``nfbind`` as ``thisp``-less versions of
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    ``ncall``, ``napply``, and ``nbind``. The latter are now deprecated. #142
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Long stack traces no longer cause linearly-growing memory usage when chaining
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    promises together. #111
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Inspecting ``error.stack`` in a rejection handler will now give a long stack
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    trace. #103
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Fixed ``Q.timeout`` to clear its timeout handle when the promise is rejected;
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    previously, it kept the event loop alive until the timeout period expired.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    #145 @dfilatov
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added `q/queue` module, which exports an infinite promise queue
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    constructor.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.8.10
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added ``done`` as a replacement for ``end``, taking the usual fulfillment,
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    rejection, and progress handlers. It's essentially equivalent to
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    ``then(f, r, p).end()``.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added ``Q.onerror``, a settable error trap that you can use to get full stack
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    traces for uncaught errors. #94
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added ``thenResolve`` as a shortcut for returning a constant value once a
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    promise is fulfilled. #108 @ForbesLindesay
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Various tweaks to progress notification, including propagation and
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    transformation of progress values and only forwarding a single progress
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    object.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Renamed ``nend`` to ``nodeify``. It no longer returns an always-fulfilled
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    promise when a Node callback is passed.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - ``deferred.resolve`` and ``deferred.reject`` no longer (sometimes) return
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    ``deferred.promise``.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Fixed stack traces getting mangled if they hit ``end`` twice. #116 #121 @ef4
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Fixed ``ninvoke`` and ``npost`` to work on promises for objects with Node
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    methods. #134
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Fixed accidental coercion of objects with nontrivial ``valueOf`` methods,
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    like ``Date``s, by the promise's ``valueOf`` method. #135
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Fixed ``spread`` not calling the passed rejection handler if given a rejected
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    promise.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.8.9
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added ``nend``
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added preliminary progress notification support, via
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    ``promise.then(onFulfilled, onRejected, onProgress)``,
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    ``promise.progress(onProgress)``, and ``deferred.notify(...progressData)``.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Made ``put`` and ``del`` return the object acted upon for easier chaining.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    #84
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Fixed coercion cycles with cooperating promises. #106
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.8.7
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Support [Montage Require](http://github.com/kriskowal/mr)
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.8.6
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Fixed ``npost`` and ``ninvoke`` to pass the correct ``thisp``. #74
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Fixed various cases involving unorthodox rejection reasons. #73 #90
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    @ef4
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Fixed double-resolving of misbehaved custom promises. #75
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Sped up ``Q.all`` for arrays contain already-resolved promises or scalar
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    values. @ForbesLindesay
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Made stack trace filtering work when concatenating assets. #93 @ef4
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added warnings for deprecated methods. @ForbesLindesay
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added ``.npmignore`` file so that dependent packages get a slimmer
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    ``node_modules`` directory.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.8.5
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added preliminary support for long traces (@domenic)
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added ``fapply``, ``fcall``, ``fbind`` for non-thisp
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    promised function calls.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added ``return`` for async generators, where generators
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    are implemented.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Rejected promises now have an "exception" property.  If an object
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    isRejected(object), then object.valueOf().exception will
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    be the wrapped error.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added Jasmine specifications
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Support Internet Explorers 7–9 (with multiple bug fixes @domenic)
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Support Firefox 12
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Support Safari 5.1.5
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Support Chrome 18
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.8.4
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - WARNING: ``promise.timeout`` is now rejected with an ``Error`` object
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    and the message now includes the duration of the timeout in
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    miliseconds.  This doesn't constitute (in my opinion) a
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    backward-incompatibility since it is a change of an undocumented and
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    unspecified public behavior, but if you happened to depend on the
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    exception being a string, you will need to revise your code.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added ``deferred.makeNodeResolver()`` to replace the more cryptic
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    ``deferred.node()`` method.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added experimental ``Q.promise(maker(resolve, reject))`` to make a
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    promise inside a callback, such that thrown exceptions in the
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    callback are converted and the resolver and rejecter are arguments.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    This is a shorthand for making a deferred directly and inspired by
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    @gozala’s stream constructor pattern and the Microsoft Windows Metro
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    Promise constructor interface.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added experimental ``Q.begin()`` that is intended to kick off chains
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    of ``.then`` so that each of these can be reordered without having to
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    edit the new and former first step.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.8.3
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added ``isFulfilled``, ``isRejected``, and ``isResolved``
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    to the promise prototype.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added ``allResolved`` for waiting for every promise to either be
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    fulfilled or rejected, without propagating an error. @utvara #53
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added ``Q.bind`` as a method to transform functions that
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    return and throw into promise-returning functions. See
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    [an example](https://gist.github.com/1782808). @domenic
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Renamed ``node`` export to ``nbind``, and added ``napply`` to
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    complete the set. ``node`` remains as deprecated. @domenic #58
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Renamed ``Method`` export to ``sender``.  ``Method``
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    remains as deprecated and will be removed in the next
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    major version since I expect it has very little usage.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added browser console message indicating a live list of
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    unhandled errors.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added support for ``msSetImmediate`` (IE10) or ``setImmediate``
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    (available via [polyfill](https://github.com/NobleJS/setImmediate))
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    as a browser-side ``nextTick`` implementation. #44 #50 #59
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Stopped using the event-queue dependency, which was in place for
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    Narwhal support: now directly using ``process.nextTick``.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL: added ``finally`` alias for ``fin``, ``catch``
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    alias for ``fail``, ``try`` alias for ``call``, and ``delete`` alias
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    for ``del``.  These properties are enquoted in the library for
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    cross-browser compatibility, but may be used as property names in
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    modern engines.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.8.2
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Deprecated ``ref`` in favor of ``resolve`` as recommended by
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    @domenic.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Update event-queue dependency.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.8.1
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Fixed Opera bug. #35 @cadorn
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Fixed ``Q.all([])`` #32 @domenic
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.8.0
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - WARNING: ``enqueue`` removed.  Use ``nextTick`` instead.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    This is more consistent with NodeJS and (subjectively)
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    more explicit and intuitive.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - WARNING: ``def`` removed.  Use ``master`` instead.  The
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    term ``def`` was too confusing to new users.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - WARNING: ``spy`` removed in favor of ``fin``.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - WARNING: ``wait`` removed. Do ``all(args).get(0)`` instead.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - WARNING: ``join`` removed. Do ``all(args).spread(callback)`` instead.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - WARNING: Removed the ``Q`` function module.exports alias
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    for ``Q.ref``. It conflicts with ``Q.apply`` in weird
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    ways, making it uncallable.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Revised ``delay`` so that it accepts both ``(value,
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    timeout)`` and ``(timeout)`` variations based on
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    arguments length.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added ``ref().spread(cb(...args))``, a variant of
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    ``then`` that spreads an array across multiple arguments.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    Useful with ``all()``.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added ``defer().node()`` Node callback generator.  The
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    callback accepts ``(error, value)`` or ``(error,
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    ...values)``.  For multiple value arguments, the
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    fulfillment value is an array, useful in conjunction with
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    ``spread``.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added ``node`` and ``ncall``, both with the signature
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    ``(fun, thisp_opt, ...args)``.  The former is a decorator
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    and the latter calls immediately.  ``node`` optional
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    binds and partially applies.  ``ncall`` can bind and pass
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    arguments.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.7.2
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Fixed thenable promise assimilation.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.7.1
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Stopped shimming ``Array.prototype.reduce``. The
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    enumerable property has bad side-effects.  Libraries that
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    depend on this (for example, QQ) will need to be revised.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.7.0 - BACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITY
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - WARNING: Removed ``report`` and ``asap``
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - WARNING: The ``callback`` argument of the ``fin``
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    function no longer receives any arguments. Thus, it can
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    be used to call functions that should not receive
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    arguments on resolution.  Use ``when``, ``then``, or
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    ``fail`` if you need a value.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - IMPORTANT: Fixed a bug in the use of ``MessageChannel``
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    for ``nextTick``.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Renamed ``enqueue`` to ``nextTick``.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added experimental ``view`` and ``viewInfo`` for creating
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    views of promises either when or before they're
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    fulfilled.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Shims are now externally applied so subsequent scripts or
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    dependees can use them.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Improved minification results.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Improved readability.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.6.0 - BACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITY
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - WARNING: In practice, the implementation of ``spy`` and
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    the name ``fin`` were useful.  I've removed the old
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    ``fin`` implementation and renamed/aliased ``spy``.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - The "q" module now exports its ``ref`` function as a "Q"
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    constructor, with module systems that support exports
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    assignment including NodeJS, RequireJS, and when used as
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    a ``<script>`` tag. Notably, strictly compliant CommonJS
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    does not support this, but UncommonJS does.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added ``async`` decorator for generators that use yield
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    to "trampoline" promises. In engines that support
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    generators (SpiderMonkey), this will greatly reduce the
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    need for nested callbacks.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Made ``when`` chainable.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Made ``all`` chainable.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.5.3
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added ``all`` and refactored ``join`` and ``wait`` to use
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    it.  All of these will now reject at the earliest
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    rejection.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.5.2
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Minor improvement to ``spy``; now waits for resolution of
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    callback promise.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.5.1
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Made most Q API methods chainable on promise objects, and
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    turned the previous promise-methods of ``join``,
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    ``wait``, and ``report`` into Q API methods.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added ``apply`` and ``call`` to the Q API, and ``apply``
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    as a promise handler.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added ``fail``, ``fin``, and ``spy`` to Q and the promise
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    prototype for convenience when observing rejection,
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    fulfillment and rejection, or just observing without
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    affecting the resolution.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Renamed ``def`` (although ``def`` remains shimmed until
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    the next major release) to ``master``.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Switched to using ``MessageChannel`` for next tick task
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    enqueue in browsers that support it.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.5.0 - MINOR BACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITY
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Exceptions are no longer reported when consumed.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Removed ``error`` from the API.  Since exceptions are
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    getting consumed, throwing them in an errback causes the
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    exception to silently disappear.  Use ``end``.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added ``end`` as both an API method and a promise-chain
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    ending method.  It causes propagated rejections to be
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    thrown, which allows Node to write stack traces and
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    emit ``uncaughtException`` events, and browsers to
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    likewise emit ``onerror`` and log to the console.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added ``join`` and ``wait`` as promise chain functions,
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    so you can wait for variadic promises, returning your own
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    promise back, or join variadic promises, resolving with a
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    callback that receives variadic fulfillment values.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.4.4
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - ``end`` no longer returns a promise. It is the end of the
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    promise chain.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Stopped reporting thrown exceptions in ``when`` callbacks
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    and errbacks.  These must be explicitly reported through
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    ``.end()``, ``.then(null, Q.error)``, or some other
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    mechanism.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added ``report`` as an API method, which can be used as
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    an errback to report and propagate an error.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added ``report`` as a promise-chain method, so an error
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    can be reported if it passes such a gate.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.4.3
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Fixed ``<script>`` support that regressed with 0.4.2
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    because of "use strict" in the module system
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    multi-plexer.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.4.2
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added support for RequireJS (jburke)
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.4.1
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added an "end" method to the promise prototype,
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    as a shorthand for waiting for the promise to
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    be resolved gracefully, and failing to do so,
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    to dump an error message.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.4.0 - BACKWARD INCOMPATIBLE*
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - *Removed the utility modules. NPM and Node no longer
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    expose any module except the main module.  These have
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    been moved and merged into the "qq" package.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - *In a non-CommonJS browser, q.js can be used as a script.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    It now creates a Q global variable.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Fixed thenable assimilation.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Fixed some issues with asap, when it resolves to
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    undefined, or throws an exception.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.3.0 - BACKWARD-INCOMPATIBLE
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - The `post` method has been reverted to its original
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    signature, as provided in Tyler Close's `ref_send` API.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    That is, `post` accepts two arguments, the second of
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    which is an arbitrary object, but usually invocation
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    arguments as an `Array`.  To provide variadic arguments
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    to `post`, there is a new `invoke` function that posts
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    the variadic arguments to the value given in the first
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    argument.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - The `defined` method has been moved from `q` to `q/util`
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    since it gets no use in practice but is still
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    theoretically useful.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - The `Promise` constructor has been renamed to
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    `makePromise` to be consistent with the convention that
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    functions that do not require the `new` keyword to be
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    used as constructors have camelCase names.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - The `isResolved` function has been renamed to
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    `isFulfilled`.  There is a new `isResolved` function that
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    indicates whether a value is not a promise or, if it is a
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    promise, whether it has been either fulfilled or
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    rejected.  The code has been revised to reflect this
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    nuance in terminology.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.2.10
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added `join` to `"q/util"` for variadically joining
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    multiple promises.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.2.9
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - The future-compatible `invoke` method has been added,
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    to replace `post`, since `post` will become backward-
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    incompatible in the next major release.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Exceptions thrown in the callbacks of a `when` call are
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    now emitted to Node's `"uncaughtException"` `process`
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    event in addition to being returned as a rejection reason.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.2.8
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Exceptions thrown in the callbacks of a `when` call
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    are now consumed, warned, and transformed into
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    rejections of the promise returned by `when`.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.2.7
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Fixed a minor bug in thenable assimilation, regressed
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    because of the change in the forwarding protocol.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Fixed behavior of "q/util" `deep` method on dates and
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    other primitives. Github issue #11.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.2.6
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Thenables (objects with a "then" method) are accepted
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    and provided, bringing this implementation of Q
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    into conformance with Promises/A, B, and D.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added `makePromise`, to replace the `Promise` function
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    eventually.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Rejections are now also duck-typed. A rejection is a
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    promise with a valueOf method that returns a rejection
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    descriptor. A rejection descriptor has a
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    "promiseRejected" property equal to "true" and a
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    "reason" property corresponding to the rejection reason.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Altered the `makePromise` API such that the `fallback`
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    method no longer receives a superfluous `resolved` method
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    after the `operator`.  The fallback method is responsible
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    only for returning a resolution.  This breaks an
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    undocumented API, so third-party API's depending on the
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    previous undocumented behavior may break.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.2.5
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Changed promises into a duck-type such that multiple
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    instances of the Q module can exchange promise objects.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    A promise is now defined as "an object that implements the
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    `promiseSend(op, resolved, ...)` method and `valueOf`".
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Exceptions in promises are now captured and returned
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    as rejections.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.2.4
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Fixed bug in `ref` that prevented `del` messages from
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    being received (gozala)
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Fixed a conflict with FireFox 4; constructor property
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    is now read-only.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.2.3
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added `keys` message to promises and to the promise API.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.2.2
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added boilerplate to `q/queue` and `q/util`.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Fixed missing dependency to `q/queue`.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.2.1
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - The `resolve` and `reject` methods of `defer` objects now
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    return the resolution promise for convenience.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added `q/util`, which provides `step`, `delay`, `shallow`,
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    `deep`, and three reduction orders.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added `q/queue` module for a promise `Queue`.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added `q-comm` to the list of compatible libraries.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Deprecated `defined` from `q`, with intent to move it to
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    `q/util`.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.2.0 - BACKWARD INCOMPATIBLE
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Changed post(ref, name, args) to variadic
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    post(ref, name, ...args). BACKWARD INCOMPATIBLE
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added a def(value) method to annotate an object as being
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    necessarily a local value that cannot be serialized, such
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    that inter-process/worker/vat promise communication
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    libraries will send messages to it, but never send it
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    back.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added a send(value, op, ...args) method to the public API, for
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    forwarding messages to a value or promise in a future turn.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.1.9
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Added isRejected() for testing whether a value is a rejected
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    promise.  isResolved() retains the behavior of stating
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    that rejected promises are not resolved.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.1.8
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Fixed isResolved(null) and isResolved(undefined) [issue #9]
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Fixed a problem with the Object.create shim
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.1.7
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - shimmed ES5 Object.create in addition to Object.freeze
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    for compatibility on non-ES5 engines (gozala)
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.1.6
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - Q.isResolved added
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - promise.valueOf() now returns the value of resolved
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    and near values
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - asap retried
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - promises are frozen when possible
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.1.5
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - fixed dependency list for Teleport (gozala)
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - all unit tests now pass (gozala)
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.1.4
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - added support for Teleport as an engine (gozala)
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - simplified and updated methods for getting internal
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    print and enqueue functions universally (gozala)
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.1.3
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - fixed erroneous link to the q module in package.json
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.1.2
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - restructured for overlay style package compatibility
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.1.0
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - removed asap because it was broken, probably down to the
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |    philosophy.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.0.3
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - removed q-util
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - fixed asap so it returns a value if completed
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.0.2
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - added q-util
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | ## 0.0.1
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  |  - initial version
 |
