Allow browserified applications to explicitly register connectors
to use in data-sources via `app.connector(name, exportsFromRequire)`.
Include built-in connectors like `Memory` and `Remote` in the registry.
Modify `dataSourcesFromConfig()` to resolve the connector via
`app.connectors` first and only then fall back to auto-require
the connector module.
Support flat structure of model config objects, where model options
are set as top-level properties.
Before:
Customer: {
dataSource: 'db',
options: {
base: 'User'
}
}
Now:
Customer: {
dataSource: 'db',
base: 'User'
}

- Use the SharedClass class to build the remote connector
- Change default base model from Model to DataModel
- Fix DataModel errors not logging correct method names
- Use the strong-remoting 1.4 resolver API to resolve dynamic remote
methods (relation api)
- Remove use of fn object for storing remoting meta data
Add a compatibility layer that allows applications based on LB pre-v1.6
to work with 1.6 versions with a minimum amount of changes required.
New flag(s):
compat.usePluralNamesForRemoting
Remove the inconsistency between model names used by LoopBack app and
datasource-juggler (modelName, e.g. User) and the name used by
strong-remoting (pluralModelName, e.g. Users).
This way the class name in the strong-remoting metadata can be used
by client-code generators. Before this change, the generators would
produce method names like `Users.login`.
Remove docs/api-app.md and docs/api.md, as they are no longer referenced
from docs.json.
Add few missing bits from docs/api-app.md to lib/application.js
comments.
Fix the jsdox for `app.installMiddleware` to use `app.once` for
listening on 'middleware:*' events.
The previous doc version using `on` was a sort of preliminary
pessimisation, becase the event handlers would stay in the heap
for the whole life-time of the app, even though they won't be called
more than once.
Allow loopback users to configure API root via config file, instead of
editing app.js generated by loopback-workspace.
Allow loopback plugins to discover the path where the REST adapter is
mounted.
