As3corelib
I have just moved the as3corelib library over to GitHub (at the urging of Darron Schall). This should make the project a little easier to manage, and in particular, make it easier for developers to contribute patches, and for me to review and accept them.
All files, issues, source, and wiki pages have been moved from the old site to the new one. The old site is still up, but directs people to the new site, and will no longer be updated.
I have just posted a new release (.93) of as3corelib. The corelib project is an ActionScript 3 Library that contains a number of classes and utilities for working with ActionScript? 3.
You can view a complete list of changes in the change list (items 75 - 106).
You can download the updated SWC and source from the project’s download page.
Thanks to Christian Cantrell for helping build the release.
I am at FITC Amsterdam this week, where I had a talk on Desktop Development with Adobe AIR. One of the things I showed was how to get notifications when new volumes / drives are added / removed to a machine. This could be useful if for example, you application needs to know when a new CD Rom or USB drive has been added or removed to the user’s system.
Darron Schall has just checked in some changes and bug fixes to the JSON support in as3corelib. Among other things, Darron has added a strict mode which allows you to specify how strict of a conformance to the JSON spec you want the library to follow.
You can read all of the details over on Darron’s blog. As Darron notes, these are not in the build yet, so if you want to play around with the changes, you have to grab the source.
