v2.4.3 view commit logs

Fixes

• TemplateCache#loadTemplate accepts empty script-tag templates.
• Parent LayoutView's childEvents continue working with views attached manually using Region#attachView.
• When an array of items (length > 1) are added to a collection backing a CollectionView using the at option, the child views are appended to the DOM in the proper order.
• When models are added to a collection backing a CollectionView with the at option, the child views are rendered in the proper order even when the CollectionView has a filter.
• CollectionView#isEmpty respects a false return value even when there are no child views.
• Region#empty reliably destroys views when called with options.
• CollectionView child views can, in turn, render children within onBeforeShow as documented.
• CollectionView childView and emptyView can be pure Backbone.View classes.

Docs

• Better documentation around view childEvents that reinforces the distinction between child view triggers and events.
• Guidance on achieving full event lifecycle while using Backbone.View as the child view within CollectionViews or LayoutViews/Regions.

Misc

• LayoutView#showChildView new options argument passed to underlying Region#show to enable full show functionality.
• Allow Application to be initialized with multiple arguments for consistency with earlier releases.
• More comprehensive support for Backbone child views, including a more rigorous test suite and support for render, destroy, and dom:refresh lifecycle events when shown by CollectionViews or LayoutViews/Regions.
• Bumped Backbone dependency to 1.2.3
