ease.js is now part of the GNU project; this merges in changes that led up
to the submission being accepted and additional cleanup thereafter. More
information will be included in the release announcement (which will be
included in the 0.2.0 tag), and relicensing rationale is included in the
commit that introduced the license change. The release announcement will
also include a small essay I have been authoring with the help and input of
RMS about the importance of making JavaScript code free.
Happy GNU year!
The recently liberated work-in-progress framework for which I originally
created ease.js; it's nice to be able to complete that part of this
project's history. :)
This must appear below the line that inputs the Texinfo macros; otherwise,
any Tex output contains all @c lines, since the macro has not yet been
defined (and @ isn't even an escape character yet).
This increases file size even further, so eventually we may want to add
ranges. That said, it's not that significant, and helps to make the life of
the project prominant.
As suggested by RMS in The JavaScript Trap:
<https://gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html>
This does increase the size of the minified file a bit---the header is now
about 1kB of uncompressed text (which will hopefully comprses nicely with
the rest of the minified file). That said, ease.js will be continuing to
grow in size, bandwidth is becoming less and less important, and the license
is very important, especially in our goal to spread the philosophy of
software freedom.
We want these files to be available in the tarball for those who do not have the
setup necessary to build (which is far more likely to be the care with
JavaScript developers).

Thanks again to Brandon Inverson for providing this patch. All changes are his
except for the comment in configure.ac and the version.js.tpl move/changes.

This greatly simplfies rebasing and other operations while working in a branch;
signing each and every commit that is not in master can be overkill (even if it
does give peace of mind).
