HaXe 1.06 :: Flash 7/8 Library Assets in Flash 9

Posted by Ali Mills Tue, 29 Aug 2006 05:48:00 GMT

Before I’ve even had a chance to experiment with haXe 1.05, verison 1.06 has been released! How long did that take? Maybe a week? Two of the more interesting features of this version are that it supports the use of Flash 7/8 library assets from Flash 9 code and there’s been an addition of a RubyGems like distribution system called haxelib.

You can read about all of the new features and Nicolas’ blog, but here’s a quick glance at the change log:

• allowed extern enums
• use only matching construct when parameters are matched
• fixed bug preventing & char to be sent between JS and Flash remoting
• improved flash9 api (more strict)
• flash9 xml : use JS ReXml parser
• added neko.io package (Input/Output)
• moved neko.File and neko.Socket to neko.io package
• fixed flash optional arguments (when extending flash.MC)
• fixed neko native serialization problems
• variable modification does not have side effects in ‘for x in a…b’
• jit disabled by default for neko web server
• enable flash7-8 libraries usage from flash9
• unknown identifier become “class not found” when is a classpath
• changed haxe.PosInfos handling
• added -debug (removed—flash-debug) on flash9 and neko only now
• added Type.typeof
• improved Serializer speed
• added Serialization support for Date, Hash, IntHash, List
• added flash9 and JS IE/Opera class reflection
• added haxe.xml.Check and haxe.xml.Fast
• added Xml.parent
• added haxelib
• added ArrayAccess interface
