- [#608](https://github.com/wycats/handlebars.js/issues/608) - Add `includeZero` flag to `if` conditional
- [#498](https://github.com/wycats/handlebars.js/issues/498) - `Handlebars.compile` fails on empty string although a single blank works fine
- [#599](https://github.com/wycats/handlebars.js/issues/599) - lambda helpers only receive options if used with arguments
- [#592](https://github.com/wycats/handlebars.js/issues/592) - Optimize array and subprogram performance
- [#571](https://github.com/wycats/handlebars.js/issues/571) - uglify upgrade breaks compatibility with older versions of node
- [#587](https://github.com/wycats/handlebars.js/issues/587) - Partial inside partial breaks?


Compatibility notes:
- The project now includes separate artifacts for AMD, CommonJS, and global objects. 
  - AMD: Users may load the bundled `handlebars.amd.js` or `handlebars.runtime.amd.js` files or load individual modules directly. AMD users should also note that the handlebars object is exposed via the `default` field on the imported object. This [gist](https://gist.github.com/wycats/7417be0dc361a69d5916) provides some discussion of possible compatibility shims.
  - CommonJS/Node: Node loading occurs as normal via `require`
  - Globals: The `handlebars.js` and `handlebars.runtime.js` files should behave in the same manner as the v1.0.12 / 1.0.0 release.
- Build artifacts have been removed from the repository. [npm][npm], [components/handlebars.js][components], [cdnjs][cdnjs], or the [builds page][builds-page] should now be used as the source of built artifacts. 
- Context-stored helpers are now always passed the `options` hash. Previously no-argument helpers did not have this argument.


[Commits](https://github.com/wycats/handlebars.js/compare/v1.0.12...v1.1.0)

## v1.0.12 / 1.0.0 - May 31 2013

- [#515](https://github.com/wycats/handlebars.js/issues/515) - Add node require extensions support ([@jjclark1982](https://github.com/jjclark1982))
- [#517](https://github.com/wycats/handlebars.js/issues/517) - Fix amd precompiler output with directories ([@blessenm](https://github.com/blessenm))
- [#433](https://github.com/wycats/handlebars.js/issues/433) - Add support for unicode ids
- [#469](https://github.com/wycats/handlebars.js/issues/469) - Add support for `?` in ids
- [#534](https://github.com/wycats/handlebars.js/issues/534) - Protect from object prototype modifications
- [#519](https://github.com/wycats/handlebars.js/issues/519) - Fix partials with . name ([@jamesgorrie](https://github.com/jamesgorrie))
- [#519](https://github.com/wycats/handlebars.js/issues/519) - Allow ID or strings in partial names
- [#437](https://github.com/wycats/handlebars.js/issues/437) - Require matching brace counts in escaped expressions
- Merge passed partials and helpers with global namespace values
- Add support for complex ids in @data references
- Docs updates

Compatibility notes:
- The parser is now stricter on `{{{`, requiring that the end token be `}}}`. Templates that do not
  follow this convention should add the additional brace value.
- Code that relies on global the namespace being muted when custom helpers or partials are passed will need to explicitly pass an `undefined` value for any helpers that should not be available.
- The compiler version has changed. Precompiled templates with 1.0.12 or higher must use the 1.0.0 or higher runtime.

## Prior Versions

When upgrading from the Handlebars 0.9 series, be aware that the
signature for passing custom helpers or partials to templates has
changed.

Instead of:

```js
template(context, helpers, partials, [data])
```

Use:

```js
template(context, {helpers: helpers, partials: partials, data: data})
```
