breeze.modelLibrary.noTrackingBackingStore.js

/********************************************************
 * A replacement for the "backingStore" modelLibrary
 * 
 * This is a bare version of the original backingStore,
 * without ANY change tracking - that's why it will work in IE8!
 * (Object.defineProperty not required any more)
 *
 * This adapter is a "drop in" replacement for the "backingStore" adapter in Breeze core.
 * It has the same adapter name so it will silently replace the original "backingStore" adapter
 * when you load this script AFTER the breeze library.
 * WARNING: For obvious reasons a lot of breeze magic will be lost!
