- ensure WILDCARD events are included in list of available transitions() (issue #93)

- function (fsm.states) returning list of all available states in the machine would help automated testing (issue #54)

Version 2.3.5 (January 20 2014)
- fix for broken transitions() method (issue #74)
Version 2.3.4 (January 17 2014)
- helper method to list which events are allowed from the current state (issue #71 - thanks to @mgoldsborough and @chopj)
Version 2.3.3 (October 17 2014)
- added web worker compatability (issue #65 - thanks to @offirmo)
Version 2.3.2 (March 16 2014)
- had to bump the version number after messing up npmjs.org package registration
Version 2.3.0 (March 15 2014)
- Added support for bower
- Added support for nodejs (finally)
- Added ability to run tests in console via nodejs ("npm install" to get node-qunit, then "node test/runner.js")
Version 2.2.0 (January 26th 2013)
- Added optional
final
state(s) and isFinished()
helper method (issue #23)
- extended
fsm.is()
to accept an array of states (in addition to a single state)
- Added generic event callbacks 'onbeforeevent' and 'onafterevent' (issue #28)

Version 2.1.0 (January 7th 2012)
- Wrapped in self executing function to be more easily used with loaders like
require.js
or curl.js
(issue #15)
- Allow event to be cancelled by returning
false
from onleavestate
handler (issue #13) - WARNING: this breaks backward compatibility for async transitions (you now need to return StateMachine.ASYNC
instead of false
)
- Added explicit return values for event methods (issue #12)
- Added support for wildcard events that can be fired 'from' any state (issue #11)
- Added support for no-op events that transition 'to' the same state (issue #5)
- extended custom error callback to handle any exceptions caused by caller provided callbacks
- added custom error callback to override exception when an illegal state transition is attempted (thanks to cboone)
- fixed typos (thanks to cboone)
- fixed issue #4 - ensure before/after event hooks are called even if the event doesn't result in a state change
Version 2.0.0 (August 19th 2011)
- adding support for asynchronous state transitions (see README) - with lots of qunit tests (see test/async.js).
- consistent arguments for ALL callbacks, first 3 args are ALWAYS event name, from state and to state, followed by whatever arguments the user passed to the original event method.
- added a generic
onchangestate(event,from,to)
callback to detect all state changes with a single function.
- allow callbacks to be declared at creation time (instead of having to attach them afterwards)
- renamed 'hooks' => 'callbacks'
- read more...
Version 1.2.0 (June 21st 2011)
- allows the same event to transition to different states, depending on the current state (see 'Multiple...' section in README.md)
