The .gitignore file causes an npm "UNMET DEPENDENCY" on async when we git clone our web project. This means the async module for us doesn't get checked in to our code. Do you recommend installing async module at the root of our web project?

Current version is stuck on 1.3.x. Can you update?

In my application, it has both .less and .css file.

For example, In an application.less file, I import a .css file like this:

@import "theme/default/jquery.mobile.css";

Expected: It should work in this case.

Actual: However, connect-less does not understand this, it said:

DEBUG: Error: ENOENT, open '/Users/hoatle/workspace/hoatle/catalog_display/webapp/css/theme/default/jquery.mobile.less'

connect-less enables @import statements (which aren't working in Connect's compiler and several other middlewares).
We need to track each of the @imported files modification times to know whether to update the resulting merged .css file.

Less 1.3.0 has some breaking changes and we aren't ready to update to it yet.

Since connect-less specifies the less version as ">=1.1.6" when conneect-less is installed npm happily installs less 1.3.0 and our code breaks.

I'm not sure how to fix this properly but I had an idea, release (and publish to npm) a version 0.2.4 of connect-less with a less version specified as "1.1.6" then release another version of connect-less 0.3.0 with a less version of "1.3.0" specified. This way people can choose the less version and a minor version change of connect-less won't be breaking backwards compatibility.
