UI Changes

API Changes

• The DOM is no longer completly initialized when require.js loads Brackets modules. Any modules that depend on or modify HTML during load should now listen register a htmlContentLoadComplete event listener on the utils/LoadEvents module before touching the DOM, e.g. LoadEvents.htmlContentLoadComplete(function () { /* query main Brackets DOM */ }). Brackets plugins are unaffected since plugins are loaded after the DOM initialization is complete.
• The brackets.ready event handler has been moved to LoadEvents.ready
• A new utils/Global module was added to handle the initialization of the brackets namespace

New/Improved Extensibility APIs

Command infrastructure - new CommandManager.getAll() API: returns all registered commands. Could be used to build a shortcut key assignment UI, etc.
