 ### v1.7.0 [view commit logs](https://github.com/marionettejs/backbone.marionette/compare/v1.6.4...v1.7.0)
 
 Version 1.7 represents a significant step in formalizing the ways to improve your `view` code though reusable `behaviors`. Say goodbye to custom mixin strategies and welcome `behaviors` into town.
 
 * Behaviors
 
     A `Behavior` is an  isolated set of DOM / user interactions interactions  that can be mixed into any `View`. `Behaviors` allow you to blackbox `View` specific interactions into portable logical chunks, keeping your `views` simple and your code DRY. **[Read the docs here.](https://github.com/marionettejs/backbone.marionette/blob/master/docs/marionette.behavior.md)**

 If you are overriding `appendHTML` in your `collectionView` or `compositeView` make sure to update your method to match the [buffering implementation](https://github.com/marionettejs/backbone.marionette/blob/master/src/marionette.collectionview.js#L299). If you do not you may observe the `show` event not being called per `itemViews`
