What is the difference between sproutcore-statechart in emberjs-addons and the ember.statemanager in ember-states lib ? And if I'd like to use sproutcore-statechart with Emberjs, how can I set it up correctly ?

Answer 1

Some great new docs in code comment (by trek) on StateManager were merged just two days ago:

Enjoy!

Answer 2

Ember has a new States system written from scratch. However, some users from the SC2 days were relying on SproutCore's Statecharts, so the "sproutcore-statechart" system brings that in. It's pretty much just for legacy use. I recommend that new users just use the built-in Ember States.
