Open issues includes enhancements, documentation, and discussion issues as well as few bugs.

The documentation WIP (work in progress) numbers are approx, as more sections may be added.

New Major Features

• Now compatible with Opal 1.x and Rails 6.x: Tested with Opal ~>1.0 + Rails ~>5.0 and Rails ~>6.0, and Opal ~>0.11 and Rails ~>5.0.
• You can run Hypermodel connections on Redis (instead of ActiveRecord). This gives about a 10% performance boost, and there will be even better performance as the Redis adapter is optimized.
• The rails-hyperstack gem now includes a file hyperstack/server_side_auto_require that you may require from the hyperstack.rb initializer.
  This file will add the capability to Rails ActiveSupport Dependencies to automatically look for files in the matching main app sub directory when loaded first from the hyperstack directory. This allows you to leave serverside functionality in the main app subdirectories, and only include definitions relevant to the client side in the hyperstack directories. See #361 for more info. ATM requiring this file will set the Rails autoloader mode to :classic.
• Complete rewrite of Hyperspec with much improved syntax and many new features including ability to use with any Rack application. See the docs for details. But don't worry its all backwards compatible with the old syntax.
• Much more robust gem installer.

Breaking Changes

• #350 Moved the server side after and every methods to an include module. You are only effected if you are using the after or every methods on the server.
• You may encounter some breakage due to configuration changes. Rails and the JS world have changed a lot recently, and its hard to insure that the new Gems will work correctly in all situations without some adjustment to your configuration. Please report any issues that you encounter.
