<div class="markdown_content"><p>yet another snapshot on the road to v2.0... this will probably be the last snapshot before the final release, as things are getting pretty close.</p> <p>Compared to -pre1, this release has: better stack traces (that are now correct in all cases), better performance, and some improvements in the editor (fix indenting rules, and bookmarks), etc</p> <p>See <a href="http://objectscript.sourceforge.net/?docs/release-notes.html">http://objectscript.sourceforge.net/?docs/release-notes.html</a></p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>first pre-release snapshot for v2.0. Most user visible changes to the language are complete, and things seem very stable, but there are still some behind-the-scenes cleanups and optimizations that aren't finished yet.</p> <p>See <a href="http://objectscript.sourceforge.net/?docs/release-notes.html">http://objectscript.sourceforge.net/?docs/release-notes.html</a></p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Well, I've been working on what will eventually become oscript v2.0 for a little while now, and while I'm not quite ready to call it done, I have setup nightly snapshots of the trunk so you can have a go at it:</p> <p><a href="https://icandy.homeunix.org/snapshot/" rel="nofollow">https://icandy.homeunix.org/snapshot/</a></p> <p>Version 2.0 is concentrating on new ObjectScript features and performance. Major features that have been implemented and merged to the trunk so far:</p> <p>+ iterator for loop syntax: for( var o : set ) ...<br /> + mixin &quot;mixes in&quot; an object into the current <br /> scope/object<br /> + regular expression suport modeled after<br /> JavaScript 2.0<br /> + java Map/List object access using array index<br /> syntax (a java.util.Map behaves as an associative<br /> array, and java.util.List behaves as an array)<br /> + java object bean property access</p> <p>Most of what is left is documentation, performance optimization and bug fixes.</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>ObjectScript v1.4 contains both bug fixes and new features. It includes a wizard for creating a new plugin, and a wizard for creating a JPanel layout using the WYSIWYG GUI editor JUI (http://jui.sourceforge.net). It also updates the scripting engine to use the latest version of BCEL (v5.1), and fixes a problem with how try/catch/finally statements are compiled to bytecode.</p> <p>See the release notes: <a href="http://objectscript.sourceforge.net/?docs/release-notes.html">http://objectscript.sourceforge.net/?docs/release-notes.html</a></p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>ObjectScript v1.3.2 is mainly a bug fix release, with some user interface refinements: menubar accel keys work now; better macosx integration, for mac users. For example, you can launch the IDE by double clicking on a .os file in the finder. (BTW, anyone out there wants to show me how to make a java app do that on windows?); lots of little bug fixes</p> <p>see the release notes on homepage for more details: <a href="http://objectscript.sourceforge.net">http://objectscript.sourceforge.net</a></p></div>
