Improve page load performance by asynchronously loading javascript using head.js

== Description ==

This plugin is meant to be a drop-in to your wordpress installation with no additional configuration. The goals/features of this plugin are:

* Load javascript files in an asynchronous manner to improve time to DomReady/OnLoad
* Use existing wordpress APIs for backwards compatability and prevent coupling to this plugin
* Leverage dependency model wordpress provides for assets to improve loading performance


== Installation ==

1. Upload `asynchronous-javascript` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How do I include a script that I do not control but has a dependency on another script? =

In your theme, use the static AsynchronousJS::wp_enqueue_async_script() method, which is API compatible with wp_enqueue_script($handle, $src, $deps). Using this method will cause the $src to load ONLY when scripts with the handles defined in $deps have been loaded.

= Is there any potential problems with other plugins? =

As long as those plugins are using the built-in wordpress script queuing and not attempting to output scripts manually (such as invoking wp_print_scripts()), you should have no problems.

== Changelog ==

= 1.1 =
* Removed `wp_enqueue_async_script()`, should be able to use normal wordpress method `wp_enqueue_script()`
* Updated normal enqueue processing to use dependencies, will need to improve upon this in future.

= 1.0 =
* Initial release, seems to work. :)

== Upgrade Notice ==

= 1.1 =
* Dependencies are now honored and it is recommended that you use this version instead of 1.0
* `wp_enqueue_async_script()` is no longer available for use in the theme
