🥳 New Kitten¹ release
• Added `initialise()` hook to `kitten.Component` instances.
This gets called at the end of the constructor and is handy if you don’t want to override the constructor and have to handle the `data` parameter and remember to call `super(data)`. You can still access passed data from `this.data`.
Note that the component is not part of the view hierarchy on the client at this point. If you have tasks you need to perform only once per page – for example, instantiating a child component to use in your view template – override the `onConnect()` handler instead which is guaranteed to be called just once when your component has successfully been added to a connected page.

Enjoy!
