the final release, at last... windows binaries to follow shortly

oscript v2.0-pre5

Rob Clark — Wed, 05 Nov 2003 16:53:50 -0000

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.

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

See http://objectscript.sourceforge.net/?docs/release-notes.html

oscript v2.0-pre1

Rob Clark — Sun, 05 Oct 2003 19:40:31 -0000

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.

working towards 2.0, nightly snapshots

Rob Clark — Mon, 22 Sep 2003 07:55:05 -0000

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:

https://icandy.homeunix.org/snapshot/

Version 2.0 is concentrating on new ObjectScript features and performance. Major features that have been implemented and merged to the trunk so far:

+ iterator for loop syntax: for( var o : set ) ...
+ mixin "mixes in" an object into the current
scope/object
+ regular expression suport modeled after
JavaScript 2.0
+ java Map/List object access using array index
syntax (a java.util.Map behaves as an associative
array, and java.util.List behaves as an array)
+ java object bean property access

Most of what is left is documentation, performance optimization and bug fixes.

oscript v1.4

Rob Clark — Wed, 16 Jul 2003 17:59:52 -0000

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.

See the release notes: http://objectscript.sourceforge.net/?docs/release-notes.html

oscript v1.3.2

Rob Clark — Fri, 20 Jun 2003 17:27:26 -0000

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

see the release notes on homepage for more details: http://objectscript.sourceforge.net

oscript v1.3

Rob Clark — Mon, 09 Jun 2003 18:24:30 -0000

oscript (ObjectScript):
+ obscure bug fixes
+ .os to .html syntax colorifier
+ osbook: tool to generate User's Guide "books" from .xml
+ script files can begin with "#!"
+ pkg.system and pkg.fs provide access to scripting engine
provided system and filesystem (respectively) APIs in a
way that won't change as scripting engine changes (ie.
a facade pattern.)
+ Proxy object, see:
http://objectscript.sourceforge.net/docs/osug.html#Proxy Objects

chimera:
+ registry browser bug fixes:
- not recognizing tree structure changes when root path being
displayed is not "/"
+ FileChooser:
- no longer forces directories to be selected by filter
- enables/disables the open/save button based on selected
file matching filter
- support selecting files by double clicking... double click
on directory still expands directory

ObjectScript Development Envinrontment (ObjectDevel):
+ editor:
- bug fixes
- revamped ENTER key binding to deal correctly with open
and close parens, and also for better performance

wants to help with a .exe bundler for windows, I would
appreciate it)
+ script-path window for editing script path.
