New Release 0.9.3

We are proud to present the latest release of the as2lib: 0.9.3. With a month delay but awesome new features!

We finished our latest milestones and are (with some delay) ready for our next release. The delay had two major reasons:

  1. There was the flashforum.de conference where our main devs were present. Simon held his presentation (Weblog entry, German) and we collected a lot of response.
  2. We wanted to provide a well thought-out API for the new great stuff.

We changed some major and some minor things in this release:

  • TestRunner got split in TestSuite & TestCaseRunner (abstraction layer for more stability)
  • Process- and BatchListener got split into different small listener that each contains one single method
  • Bit-&ByteFormat moved to "org.as2lib.data.type" package

And now to the brandnew stuff in 0.9.3 release:

  • Easy support of event handling with org.as2lib.env.event.EventSupport.
  • Easy support of logging with org.as2lib.env.log.LogSupport.
  • Time class to handle time differences.
  • A new data holder for properties.
  • The File API has been completely rebuilt and provides access to files now with the quality of MovieClipLoader but with a better abstraction.
  • File implementations for external XML- and Propertiesfiles.
  • Compare method in ObjectUtil and support of comparing by a Comparable interface
  • Regular expressions support with featuring completely Java compatible API, stable but not completly documented.
  • StepByStepProcess & Processor to handle unperformant processes.

It was pretty much work to create this release, we hope you enjoy it.

yours
Martin Heidegger & Simon Wacker

For all those who like a little peak preview. After some more implementations and new stuff in the last release, we will focus on documentation again. regexp package needs to become well documented and new articles for the homepage are planned. The connections remain in TODO state, same as "Configuration".

For all those who like and use this project or parts of it: There is a DONATE button at sourceforge as2lib page.
