I recently presented to Bitovi about how we manage CanJS, StealJS, and DoneJS's open source efforts. I thought this would be useful information for our community so I recorded myself giving the presentation.

Dear Web Developers,
The humble DoneJS core team enthusiastically presents CanJS 5.0. Like 4.0 before it, this release continues to simplify CanJS and solve problems in new and ergonomic ways. If you are unfamiliar with CanJS, the common web development problems it tackles are:
- Responding to user interactions and updating HTML with components (custom elements).
- Retrieving and modifying service data with models.
- Routing url changes to state changes and state changes to url changes with routing.
Driven by community feedback, CanJS 5.0 focused primarily on making CanJS easier to use and learn in modern development environments and improving the model layer. Yet, we still managed to improve components, routing and even testing with one new feature.

A Fortune 100 company who needed to ensure millions of users are never without service wanted to streamline their DevOps procedures to solve a myriad of problems most enterprise-level companies face when working at a large scale. In particular, they were interested in:
- Alleviating some of the burdens of Site Reliability Engineers (SREs)
- Minimizing the risks of human error
- Ensuring proper communication and visibility around issues when they arose in a way that could scale efficiently as the infrastructure grows.
Let’s investigate these problems in-depth and see how DevOps automation with StackStorm helped SREs automate common tasks, minimize downtime, and sleep easier in a scalable, reliable, and fully customizable way.

Sneak peek: CanJS 5’s new data layer
In our first community survey, making it easier to configure and understand can-set was one of the top-voted items. We’re excited to deliver on that proposal in CanJS 5, which will include the following new modules that are easier to understand and configure:

CanJS 4 & DoneJS 2
CanJS 4 and DoneJS 2 are out! Check out those blog posts for the full details on the new:
- debugging tools (hello can-debug)
- streaming property definitions (goodbye listening to
{viewModel}events) - cli commands:
donejs addheroku, travis, travis-deploy-to-firebase, & travis-deploy-to-heroku

Earlier last month CanJS 4.0 was released bringing a load of new features. We heard early (while 4.0 was still in prerelease, in fact), that DoneJS users wanted to upgrade. Once 4.0 was out we had to answer a tough question: do we wait on a new breaking StealJS release, add other features, or release a DoneJS 2.0 right away?
