Uh ... moderately? I didn't purposefully break anything and I run all the (old) tests. But our old test coverage wasn't so hot (a big focus area right now), so things may have gotten broken inadvertently.

Ah, right. I've been a bit fast and loose about that. The default in the gem is to allow javascript to be loaded, which is not the default on the main branch. This needs to be reconciled. I'll probably switch back to making it not be a default, but I imagine adding support for an .envjsrc file so that I can set default options on a per-project basis rather than in every file loaded.

There may be other differences in this area, too. I need env.js to function pretty much as a browser and if I recall, there are cases where the master fork didn't allow certain combinations of local/remote/etc. Again, all planned to be reconciled, but currently the master fork is undergoing a lot of rework, so that's on hold.

Follow-ups might be better to http://groups.google.com/group/envjs?
