- The {{range}} tag has been removed - replaced by {{for}} tag using
  built-in range features. See https://www.jsviews.com#jsvfortag@jsvsortfilterrange

  and works correctly e.g. for data-linking using
  {{mytag}}{{else}}{{~tagCtx...}}{{/mytag}} - documentation to follow

- On a custom tag, the bindTo option is not needed with 2-way linking

  jquery.observable.js and  jquery.views.js are loaded together

  properties too, unless opt out using {{props foo noFunctions=true}}.
