Hey everybody, I've been doing some thinking about the upcoming release while enjoying my holidays and playing with ABC support. The ABC support will require significant changes to the core that will likely result in some instabilities for a while in the core. Seeing that both bug reports and commits on master currently are low in volume, I'd vote for fixing the few rather annoying bugs we have (the one or two crashers in the plugin) and doing an 0.8 as soon as possible. After that I'd like to concentrate on getting ABC support ready for 0.10 next March.
However, this is a huge task. For comparison: AS2 has roughly 500 (I think?) native functions that we need to support. ABC has 1800. While we can grab roughly 500 of them from Tamarin, there'll still be twice as many left. Add to this that ABC exposes quite a few internals of the Flash player that we didn't have to care about before (for example DisplayObject and the whole MovieClip object hierarchy), so we'll likely need to adapt internals of Swfdec. Nothing huge, but noticable. So anybody wanting to follow my development in the next few months - or better: help with it! - go and read www.adobe.com/devnet/actionscript/articles/avm2overview.pdf now. :) Cheers, Benjamin _______________________________________________ Swfdec mailing list Swfdec@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/swfdec
