• Q: Now that you are working for @Telerik on the @KendoUI project will you still be invested in Backbone.js?
• Q: Will @Telerik or @KendoUI be investing in the Backbone.js OSS community with plugins or tools that are also OSS?
• Q: Do you plan to continue work on the backbone.marionette project?
• Q: Will @KendoUI be providing time for you to work on backbone.marionette or will it be on your own time?

It seems embedding a specific file from a Gist recently broke. Example: https://gist.github.com/4490679.js?file=browser-sniffing.js now embeds all files from the gist instead of just the browser-sniffing.js file. Unfortunately, this breaks a lot of my blog posts.

The URL seems to have changed slightly to include the GitHub username in the URL to support embedding one file like https://gist.github.com/elijahmanor/4490679.js?file=browser-sniffing.js

I was able to update some of my posts, but I hope GitHub will support both ways. Was this behavior change an accident or on purpose? Anyone know?

Are there plans to add backwards compatibility? Where would I post this as a bug?

Backbone._sync = Backbone.sync;
Backbone.sync = function( method, model, options ) {
    var beforeSend = options.beforeSend;

    options = options || {};
  
    if ( method === "update" || method === "delete" || method === "patch" ) {
        options.beforeSend = function( xhr ) {

var array_like = {};

array_like[ 0 ] = "test 0";
array_like[ 1 ] = "test 1";
array_like[ 2 ] = "test 2";
array_like[ 3 ] = "test 3";

array_like.length = 4;
array_like.splice = [].splice;
