## 1.73.1 2011-11-28

NOTE: this is a "major" code update from 1.73.0 with some incompatibilities
although keeping the bits backward compatible as much as possible :

* add a JS:Function#apply to be used for calling functions from Ruby
* add a JS:Function#bind usable with JS functions from Ruby
* JS:Function#call should work similar to Method/Proc#call
* customizable scriptable access module for resolving Ruby properties from JS
  with TRR compatible Ruby::DefaultAccess and a custom Ruby::AttributeAccess
* implement JavaScript function style argument filling/slicing (for Ruby)
* delegate to hash like method []/[]= when wrapped subject supports them
* introduce Ruby::Constructor JS wrapper for Ruby classes
* hande int JavaScript property resolution
* make sure Time -> Date conversion happens as well
* deprecate JavascriptError use JSError instead with a javascript_backtrace fix
* avoid using Rhino::To.javascript instead use Rhino.to_javascript etc.

  "native" Java classes are customized using JRuby's Java integration

* Rhino::J gets deprecated it's now know as Rhino::JS
