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.

Stuart
