Release Notes for OpenLaszlo 4.2 Beta

OpenLaszlo 4.2 Beta follows OpenLaszlo 4.1.1 as the next build from the trunk development branch. The primary goal of this release is to provide beta-level support for SWF9 features as indicated below.

• Javascript browser communication support (LPP-5857)
• Media streaming (AV components)
• More media support (playing SWF animations, sound)
  Note that there is an existing bug that does not allow playback controls for SWF9. SWF8 animations must be converted to SWF9 to get the playback controls once this bug is resolved.
• HTML tag and mousewheel support
• Laszlo debugger support (you can now use the Adobe debugger, described here)
• Kernel support for embedded fonts, scaling
• Amazon and Calendar sample applications running

OpenLaszlo 4.2 Beta is not a fully-qualified release. It has had limited testing for specific features. This release is intended as a platform for initial porting and testing of SWF9 applications.

Installation Notes

For SWF9 development on Unix, you will need to manually chmod 755 all the binaries in WEB-INF/server/bin/ before you can compile. This is true for both the .war and .gz distributions.
