The big news this week, in case you missed it, was that Transform SWF
3.0 was finally released last Wednesday (15th). You can either get the
release from:
1. Flagstone web site,
http://www.flagstonesoftware.com/downloads/index.html
2. SourceForge, http://sourceforge.net/projects/transform-swf/
3. Direct from the SVN repository,
http://transform-swf.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/transform-swf/trunk
4. Maven Central, http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/ groupId: com.flagstone
artifactId: transform version: 3.0
There was a bit of unfinished business for this release:
1. Class documentation. It was decided that reviewing and updating will
be an on-going task with incremental improvements rather than a concrete
task that can be considerd to be finished.
2. Unit tests. Only a small fraction of the classes have unit tests. The
integration tests with real-world flash fiels were considered to be
sufficiently powerful to allow the the code to be released. As with the
class documentation, unit tests will be added on a incremental basis.
3. Code refactoring of ImageFilter and bugs when getting the image pixel
data from BMPDecoder and PNGDecoder. This code is not widely used so
fixing these is going to be deferred - probably to 3.0.1 for the bug
fixes and 3.1 for the code refactoring.
So what's next ?
The main effort over the past weeks (excluding vacation) was on getting
Translate SWF 3.0 out of the door. Progress is good but it is probably
going to take a few more weeks yet. I plan on updating the Transform
roadmap over the next few days to map out what is going into the next
few releases. I have not set a date for these since it is going to
depend on what bugs get reported in the coming days: serious bugs means
releases very soon, otherwise the focus is on Translate.
Regards,
Stuart
