[transform-swf-updates] Transform SWF 3.0 (alpha) is now available

[News on r. b. a. p. f. T. S. f. J. <tra...@li...>]

After a elephantine gestation period, an alpha release of Transform SWF 
3.0 is available from the downloads page: 
http://www.flagstonesoftware.com/downloads/index.html

Despite the alpha status this release is extremely robust - generally 
the code is able to deal with real-world Flash files with only a few 
issues. Moving to completely stream based I/O means that the code is now 
able to handle Flash files which are now several orders of magnitude 
larger than those available when the current release 2.3 was first 
written. Performance seems to be greatly increased compared to running 
the 2.3 code on the same JVM; version but that is a more subjective measure.

The current plan is to keep the code in alpha for the next few weeks - 
probably unitl the end of June - to continue with general clean-up and 
polishing and deal with any problems that arise, then release a beta 
over the summer when most of the work should be complete. A full 
production release will be in early September.

Regards,

Stuart
