Knockout.js Textbox Value Binding Auto-Complete

Question

I have a text input field bound to a viewmodel using a Knockout.js value binding. In IE9 if I type in the first few letters of my username, I get the standard auto-complete dropdown. Selecting my username from the auto-complete does not update my viewmodel. Is there a way to trigger an update to my observable from an auto-complete selection?

<input type="text" data-bind="value: userName" />

Upgrading to 2.1.0 as suggested by Richard's answer fixed my problem, so I have marked it as the answer.

For anyone needing this to work in Knockout 2.0.0, setting valueUpdate to 'blur' seems to work as well.

<input type="text" data-bind="value: userName, valueUpdate: 'blur'" />
