I am pleased to announce the release of PyAMF 0.6b2. PyAMF implements Adobe's ActionScript Message Format [0] such that Python applications can natively talk to Flash and Air applications.
Highlights of this release: * A huge performance boost, especially for the c-extensions. Current benchmarks put this around an order of magnitude faster than PyAMF 0.5.1 (pure python version is around 30% faster) * Dropped support for Python 2.3, a start to a march to Python 3 compatibility * Provide support for Django >= 1.2 and SQLAlchemy >= 0.6 * Switched the client from httplib to urllib2 and provided support for session cookies, gzip encoded responses and more! * Provided support for AppEngine's BlobReferenceProperty * Property synonyms are now supported. * Default AMF version has been switched from AMF0 to AMF3 For a detailed list of changes, see the change log [1]. Check out the download page [2] and installation instructions [3]. Got questions? First stop is the mailing list [4] or IRC [5].
