##Packaged Builds
The easiest way to use dat.GUI in your code is by using the built source at `build/dat.gui.min.js`. These built JavaScript files bundle all the necessary dependencies to run dat.GUI.
In your `head` tag, include the following code:
```
2015-08-14 13:24:30 +00:00
<script type="text/javascript" src="dat.gui.main.js"></script>
2013-12-18 22:24:50 +00:00
```
----
##Directory Contents
* build: Concatenated source code.
* src: Modular code in [require.js](http://requirejs.org/) format. Also includes css, [scss](http://sass-lang.com/), and html, some of which is included during build.
* tests: [QUnit](https://github.com/jquery/qunit) test suite.
* utils: [node.js](http://nodejs.org/) utility scripts for compiling source.

##Building your own dat.GUI
In the terminal, enter the following:
```
2015-08-14 13:24:30 +00:00
$ npm run build
2013-12-18 22:24:50 +00:00
```
2015-08-14 13:24:30 +00:00
This will create a namespaced, unminified build of dat.GUI at `build/dat.gui.main.js`

### 0.5
2013-12-18 22:24:50 +00:00
* Moved to requirejs for dependency management.
* Changed global namespace from *DAT* to *dat* (lowercase).
* Added support for color controllers. See [Color Controllers](http://workshop.chromeexperiments.com/examples/gui/#4--Color-Controllers).
* Added support for folders. See [Folders](http://workshop.chromeexperiments.com/examples/gui/#3--Folders).
* Added support for saving named presets. See [Presets](http://workshop.chromeexperiments.com/examples/gui/examples/gui/#6--Presets).
* Removed `height` parameter from GUI constructor. Scrollbar automatically induced when window is too short.
* `dat.GUI.autoPlace` parameter removed. Use `new dat.GUI( { autoPlace: false } )`. See [Custom Placement](http://workshop.chromeexperiments.com/examples/gui/#9--Custom-Placement).
* `gui.autoListen` and `gui.listenAll()` removed. See [Updating The Display Manually](http://workshop.chromeexperiments.com/examples/gui/#11--Updating-the-Display-Manually).
* `dat.GUI.load` removed. See [Saving Values](http://workshop.chromeexperiments.com/examples/gui/#5--Saving-Values).
* Made Controller code completely agnostic of GUI. Controllers can easily be created independent of a GUI panel.
