Jeff, I think you're talking about different implementation: https://npmjs.org/package/Deferred it's still at v0.1.1 and in fact it resembles jQuery's Deferred. It was published later on npm with same name but uppercased (Today npm wouldn't allow that ;)
For Deferred (one that opened this topic) changes are carefully described in https://github.com/medikoo/deferred/blob/master/CHANGES v0.1 -> v0.6 might be a long read ;) Answering your questions: On Tuesday, October 2, 2012 6:01:03 PM UTC+2, Jeff Barczewski wrote: > > > - .promise() becomes .promise > Exactly .promise returns something conceptually same as .promise() in jQuery's version > - Deferred.when() - I will have to create my own, right? There's no when in this Deferred implementation. Same can be achieved with: deferred(promiseOrValue).then(onsuccess, onerror); > Anything else that you remember which will need to change?
