Hi, We are pleased to announce that OpenLaszlo 4.2.0.1 is available now.
OpenLaszlo 4.2.0.1 is the next fully-qualified release since OpenLaszlo 4.2, and is the recommended platform for all application development in the SWF8, SWF9, and DHTML runtimes. This release addresses critical user-reported bugs primarily in the swf9 runtime, but also in DHTML.
For those of you who have already upgraded your applications to OpenLaszlo 4.2, no further work is needed. You should just start using OpenLaszlo 4.2.0.1, which you can download at http://www.openlaszlo.org/download.
For those of you who have 4.0.x or 4.1.1 applications, we strongly suggest that you refer to this wiki page: http://wiki.openlaszlo.org/Runtime_Differences. This page discusses the changes required by SWF9 and also provides a methodology for upgrading your application. It is very important that you run the automated conversion scripts in the recommended order, should you choose to take advantage of them.
The 4.2.0.1 release includes almost 30 major bug fixes since 4.2; you can view the details using the OpenLaszlo JIRA bug tracking system (http://www.openlaszlo.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?mode=hide&requestId=10880).
As always, we appreciate your involvement and OpenLaszlo reaps the benefit of your expertise and committment. We'd like to especially the following folks out there in the community who helped make this release by suggesting improvements, filing bugs, creating test cases, and contributing fixes: Andre Bargull, Sebastian Wagner, Ammar Sh. Tazami, Justin Clift, Mohammad ZeinEddin, Michael Jessup, and Nasser Najjar.
Thanks! Amy Muntz OpenLaszlo Manager
