v0.1.18 - maintenance

Bug Fixes:

v0.1.17 - maintenance

News:

config contexts can now have an onunload property for clean up tasks after elements are detached from the document
route changes now re-render from scratch, rather than attempting a virtual dom diff
virtual elements that are children of an array can now accept a key attribute which maintains the identity of the underlying DOM elements when the array gets shuffled #98

Breaking changes:

changed default value for xhr.withCredentials from true to false for m.request, since public APIs are more common than auth-walled ones. #14

In order to configure this flag, the following configuration should be used:
```
var privateAPI = function(xhr) {xhr.withCredentials = true};

m.request({method: "GET", url: "http://foo.com/api", config: privateAPI});
```
