The slim loader is a new minimal production loader for StealJS apps. You can think of slim as taking all of the useful features that StealJS provides and stripping them away to only what you actually use in your application. This means that your users don't download any code that you're not using, which improves the speed of your application.

The new Recipes section on CanJS.com now has three new guides: Playlist Editor, TodoMVC with StealJS, and Weather Report Guide (Advanced)!

StealJS makes it easy to bundle all of your JavaScript modules into highly efficient production builds, but sometimes you don’t want to bundle everything together. There are times when a module only needs to be loaded when certain conditions are met; it might be a polyfill for a browser without support for a new API or a translation file based on the user’s preferred language.

StealJS 1 has been released! It’s a major new version with some breaking changes, but our migration guide has everything you need to upgrade your app or plugin today.

StealJS 1.0 is here and represents an important milestone along its mission. This article reiterates that important mission, goes over a few of 1.0's most useful features, explains how to upgrade for 0.16 users, and looks ahead to what's coming on StealJS's roadmap.

StealJS's mission is to make it cheap and easy to do the right thing. Doing the right thing, when building for the web, includes things such as writing tests and breaking your applications into smaller mini-applications (modlets) that can be composed together.
