It seems that overriding a Mixin method and then calling `this.super()` worked in older versions of Ember, but no longer works in Canary. Not sure if this is a bug or feature… can anyone clarify?

JSBins can be found here: [ember.js - Call Mixin method when overriding - Stack Overflow](http://stackoverflow.com/a/21665233/363789)

Thanks!

wow its being a while… I find ember forum less responsive compared to stackoverflow…

I am using Ember 2.0.1 and it looks like it was changed to:

```
this._super.call(this)

```
