I was watching this nice video about requirejs, backbone and bower and something does not work for me. How can I set latest version of package in bower.json file? In video Jeff says that null should be used to define latest version like this 

{
    "name": "project name",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "dependencies": {
        "backbone-amd": null,
        "underscore-amd": null,
        "requirejs": null
    }
}

But I have an exception in console that I can't use null value as version number. I couldn't find any info at bower wiki. Does anybody know how to solve this?

If you are using bower version 1.2.x, this should work:

{
    "name": "project name",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "dependencies": {
        "backbone-amd": "latest",
        "underscore-amd": "latest",
        "requirejs": "latest"
    }
}
