New JavaScript 2.0 scripting engine, including JIT hotness..
--- Begin Message ---
I'm happy to announce a binary release of Screaming Monkey - the Tamarin
based Active Scripting Engine for Windows. This release allows you to use
JavaScript 2.0 as currently implemented by Tamarin inside Internet Explorer,
Active Server Pages, Windows Scripting Host, or any other Active Scripting
Engine. This is an Alpha release, suitable for people who are interested in
gaining early exposure to the JavaScript engine which will power Mozilla
into the future. It is not intended for production use. It may harm
innocent children.
For all details, including the download, please visit the Screaming Monkey
page at http://wiki.mozilla.org/Tamarin:ScreamingMonkey. The binary will
install a README with more information regarding samples, support, current
limitations and so forth.
Tamarin is an Open Source Virtual Machine intended to implement JavaScript
2, originally developed by Adobe and was contributed to the Mozilla Project
for use in Mozilla 2. The release is cut from the "tamarin-central" branch
- for more details, see the README in the binary distribution or the Wiki.
Wikipedia has some good background information on Active Scripting at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Scripting.
Enjoy!
Mark
