We are pleased to announce that OpenLaszlo 4.0.5 is available. You can
download the software here: http://www.openlaszlo.org/download.
OpenLaszlo 4.0.5 is the recommended platform for .swf development. With
OpenLaszlo 4.0.5, there is no longer any reason to continue application
development using OpenLaszlo 3.4. This release has been qualified the
Laszlo Systems Quality Assurance team and users in the community.
Over 100 improvements have been made since OpenLaszlo 4.0.3, including
fixes from community members and the OpenLaszlo team. For a complete
list, see the Release Notes, found here:
http://www.openlaszlo.org/documentation.
In addtion, OpenLaszlo 4.0.5 added a new feature: explicit replication,
which enables data-driven replication as an explicit syntax tag in LZX.
You
can read more about it in the proposal on the wiki:
http://wiki.openlaszlo.org/Explicit_Replication.
There will be more detailed documentation in upcoming releases.
And, for those of you following the releases closely - What happened to
version 4.0.4? We skipped a number. We don't like 404s.
Keep in mind that support for applications to DHTML remains at "beta"
level; it will be fully supported with OL 4.1 (code name RingDing in
Jira). You can see the latest and greatest by downloading the nightly
builds of 4.x trunk at http://www.openlaszlo.org/download.
For every release, we rely on the OpenLaszlo community to help ensure
the quality of the platform release and to participate in determining
its future
direction. We encourage you to report any problems, and to make
suggestions for enhancements, through our JIRA bug tracking system.
Thank you all for your efforts towards making OpenLaszlo 4.0.5 our
officially
recommended SWF platform.
