Compare to the LinkedIn fork

[webmaven]

LinkedIn has forked Dust.js because the original developer/maintainer isn't responsive.

Given the number of improvements LinkedIn have made, it might be better to compare your compatibility to their fork.

Hehe, definitely, and that's a fair enough point. Last I checked, many/most of LinkedIn's improvements are really just plugins/extensions built in dust, and not actual changes to the language behavior. I have a set of tests dedicated to a few of the most important new features I've pulled over, have a look:

https://github.com/mahmoud/ashes/blob/master/tests/new_features.py
https://github.com/mahmoud/ashes/blob/master/tests/comp_helpers.py

[webmaven]

That's good to know! I suppose What I really meant is making sure you're drawing the comparison in the docs, including the README, to indicate you're maintaining compatibility with the active fork.

Just saw this in the issues list. I had actually done this several months before -- https://github.com/mahmoud/ashes/wiki/Compatibility-with-LinkedIn-Dust.JS-Fork

oh there is also a Compatibility file that was pulled into trunk from a PR I made a while back -- https://github.com/mahmoud/ashes/blob/master/COMPATIBILITY.md
