Title
Body
I saw the latest backbone.js (0.5) introduced the pushState option for routing. After reading through https://developer.mozilla.org/en/dom/manipulating_the_browser_history I have to say it is not very clear to me : what pushState is and what exactly it is that pushState brings, in the context of writing a web app with backbone; is it for : improving urls: to have a 'real', bookmarkable, 'server-reachable' url, as opposed to hashes? graceful degradation: allow the server to render correct pages without JS enabled ? both/none of the above, or other reasons ? Also, what am i doing wrong below ?: class MyRouter extends Backbone.Router routes : '' : 'index' '#hello' :'hello' index : -> console.log 'index' hello: -> console.log 'hello' new MyRouter Backbone.history.start pushState: true When I navigate to http://localhost#hello , the url is changed to http://localhost/#hello , but the callback is not fired ? Thanks
