ScriptSWF 1.7.5 -- bug fixes, C library, Doxygen docs

1.7.5 has many changes again!

It includes several bad bugs in the JavaScript compiler (such as: a=b; which now works).

It has some bug fixes in the tags, especially it properly supports version 8 movies (with the proper FileAttributes tag and Import2 instead of Import). It also supports the Metadata tag.

I made a library (using a tool named cpp-to-c) which C programmers will love: it's just an only C to be able to use SSWF! There may be a few things missing, but 99% should be working. Look at the sample: samples/c-samples/*

The fink package should also now (at last!) be accepted by the fink people. So Mac OS/X users may soon see the files appear in the fink project. We'll see. Last time the project was accepted, and I do not think I added anything which would void the previous validation.

To recompile you will need at least g++ version 3.3, older versions (at least 3.0) will break on the C library which uses tons of casts.

Also, I started to document the library using Doxygen. Expect many more objects to get documented in the next version!

Speaking of documentation, I finally updated the SWFalexref.html to include all the SWF8 tags. I still need to test those, it is likely that many are swapped... 8-}

The next step is to implement the different new tags from SWF8 and maybe have a look into SWF9 and see if anyone has a scoop on that one!

Okay, time for bed now... Argh! 3:30am...

Enjoy!
