September 16, 2004. PHILIPPE MOUGIN ANNOUNCES THE RELEASE OF F-SCRIPT 1.2.7. F-Script is an open-source, interactive and scripting layer specifically designed for Cocoa, the native Mac OS X object system. F-Script version 1.2.7 introduces "Core Data Explorer" which is a new and unique technology based on Core Data. The latter is one of the major new components of the forthcoming Mac OS X "Tiger". F-Script's Core Data Explorer technology allows one to graphically explore and interact with live Core Data objects, giving unprecedented ease of use and productivity to developers and power users dealing with the Core Data framework. The F-Script object browser and collection inspector have been extended to use the powerful object-oriented capacities of Core Data. Users can graphically navigate and visualize attributes and relationships of Core Data managed objects, visualize the properties of entire collections of managed objects, send arbitrary messages to objects, filter objects based on the values of their properties, and more. F-Script version 1.2.7 comes with many other enhancements including an easy to use multi-step, multi-criteria searching and sorting facility for Cocoa collections, extended filtering capabilities for the object browser, support for pointer dereferencing, extended array programming support, performance improvements, support for the Mac OS X "Services" menu, new methods for bit masks manipulation and random numbers generation, and more. A detailed description of what is new in this version can be found at http://www.fscript.org/releaseNotes/. F-Script is an award winning open-source environment designed to leverage the unique capabilities of Mac OS X. Based on Smalltalk, it provides interactive and scripting access to Cocoa objects through a graphical environment and an innovative high-level programming model. F-Script allows interactive exploration, testing and use of Cocoa-based objects and frameworks. It can be used stand-alone or embedded into other applications. In addition, it can be dynamically injected into any Cocoa application at run-time. F-Script is released free of charge, as open-source software. It can be downloaded from http://www.fscript.org. The F-Script project is sponsored by the European Smalltalk User Group (www.esug.org) and SQLI (www.sqli.com). __________________________ Please visit our sponsors: RadGad(sm): The Place for Useful Gifts & Gadgets.(sm) http://www.radgad.com/, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], or 877-5-RADGAD MacTech(r) Magazine: The journal of Macintosh technology and development http://www.mactech.com, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], or 805-494-9797 DevDepot(sm): Your Source for RAM, Technical & Developer Products http://www.devdepot.com, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or call 877-DEPOT-NOW To submit a posting to MacDev-1, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe to MacDev-1, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the SUBJECT line reading "SUBSCRIBE MACDEV-1".
