New bbUI version 0.9.5: Opportunities on JavaScript interfaces for dynamic screen creation and manipulation.

Since October 19, 2012, bbUI version 0.9.4 is available via github.
 In fact after the previous versions of bbUI, which have been more or less very declarative and haven’t allowed until now, much manipulation via JavaScript, the main focus in this new release has been around bug fixes, optimizations and additional JavaScript® interfaces.
To know what kind of adjustments you may need to make to your JavaScript in order to run v0.9.4, check out the full change log . You can also check out the closed issues for details on bugs that have been fixed and features that have been added.
