As2lib 0.9.1 Release

As2lib Version 0.9.1 with the latest bug fixes and new features is finally available for download.

Download As2lib 0.9.1.

New as2lib features include:

  • Support for list data structures/holders (org.as2lib.data.holder.list).

The as2lib is:

  • Mtasc, Flash and Flex compatible.
  • Unit tested and stable.
  • Modular.
  • Well documented: API documentation.

The most noticeable features of the as2lib are:

  • An event api split into three parts to serve different preferences and needs - org.as2lib.env.event
  • An exception api that gives comprehensive information about the problem through a detail message, an exception cause and a stack trace - org.as2lib.env.except
  • An improved logging api that is easy to use and fast; It allows for easy inclusion of other logging apis and consoles - org.as2lib.env.log
  • Better overloading capabilities of the overloading api - org.as2lib.env.overload
  • Fast and easy to use reflection api - org.as2lib.env.reflect
  • A comprehensive set of data holders/structures and iterators needed in daily work - org.as2lib.data.holder
  • Different mainly numerical type formats - org.as2lib.data.type
  • A local connection api that allows for return values and even sends exceptions over the wire - org.as2lib.io.conn.local
  • A unit testing api that allows for easy asynchronous testing - org.as2lib.test.unit
  • A mock object api that can be easily integrated with the unit testing api - org.as2lib.test.mock
  • A speed test api (profiler) - org.as2lib.test.speed
  • Support for processes and easy configuration - org.as2lib.app
  • Different utilities for strings, objects, classes, arrays and a date formatter that do simple but often needed tasks - org.as2lib.util

On feedback of every kind, be it bugs, new features or questions, give it. We are always eager to answer questions and to improve the As2lib Framework by fixing bugs or adding new features.

    This is a great tool. We’re considering dropping our own Event Delegation Framework to use that one instead.

    Hi Ben,

    our webmaster is working on it. The problem is that the server went down. At the moment we sadly do not know when it will be running again but we hope soon.

    Greetings,
    Simon

    What I forgot; you can of course still download the as2lib directly on the sourceforge project page: https://sourceforge.net/projects/as2lib.

    Cheers,
