This is a maintenance release correcting a number of bugs---most of which were introduced in v0.2.3---addressing primarily ECMAScript 3 incompatibilities. Users needing to support ES3 environments (notably, IE<=8) should consider v0.2.3 to be broken.
v0.2.3 was released last week on Jul 28.
Changes between 0.2.3 and 0.2.4:
* [bugfix] method.super references in ease.js and test cases are now
ES3-compatible
* [bugfix] The Global prototype introduced in v0.2.3 used an
implementation that IE<=8 did not support; now using an alternative
- [bugfix] Interface.isInstanceOf now correctly operates as documented in
the interoperability section of the manual
- When passed an object whose constructor is not an ease.js class, it
now falls back to Interface.isCompatible (as it should have).
- [bugfix] Corrected test broken by Node.js 0.10.27
- See commit cef45cd0 for details on what changed within Node.js.
Trait support is currently under development and will be undocumented
until v0.3.0; it is included currently as a preview and is functional and
comprehensively tested, but incomplete.
* [preview] [bugfix] Non-argument traits now apply an empty array to
`__mixin` instead of `undefined`, which is unsupported by ES3

[*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
.sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file
and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this:
gpg --verify easejs-0.2.4.tar.gz.sig
If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
then run this command to import it:
gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 8EE30EAB
and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.

About GNU ease.js
-----------------
GNU ease.js is a classical object-oriented framework for JavaScript,
intended to eliminate boilerplate code and "ease" the transition into
JavaScript from other object-oriented languages. Features include simple and
intuitive class definitions; classical inheritance; abstract classes and
methods; traits as mixins; interfaces; public, protected, and private access
modifiers; static and constant members; and more. Please see the
comprehensive documentation at
<https://www.gnu.org/software/easejs/manual.html> for more information,
examples, and implementation details.
