[Laszlo-announce] OpenLaszlo 4.2.0.1 Released Today

[Amy Muntz]

Hi,

We are pleased to announce that OpenLaszlo 4.2.0.1 is available now.

OpenLaszlo 4.2.0.1 is the next fully-qualified release since OpenLaszlo 
4.2, and is the recommended platform for all application development in 
the SWF8, SWF9, and DHTML runtimes. This release addresses critical 
user-reported bugs primarily in the swf9 runtime, but also in DHTML.

For those of you who have already upgraded your applications to 
OpenLaszlo 4.2, no further work is needed. You should just start using 
OpenLaszlo 4.2.0.1, which you can download at 
http://www.openlaszlo.org/download.

For those of you who have 4.0.x or 4.1.1 applications, we strongly 
suggest that you refer to this wiki page: 
http://wiki.openlaszlo.org/Runtime_Differences. This page discusses the 
changes required by SWF9 and also provides a methodology for upgrading 
your application. It is very important that you run the automated 
conversion scripts in the recommended order, should you choose to take 
advantage of them.

The 4.2.0.1 release includes almost 30 major bug fixes since 4.2; you 
can view the details using the OpenLaszlo JIRA bug tracking system 
(http://www.openlaszlo.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?mode=hide&requestId=10880).

As always, we appreciate your involvement and OpenLaszlo reaps the 
benefit of your expertise and committment. We'd like to especially thank 
the following folks out there in the community who helped make this 
release by suggesting improvements, filing bugs, creating test cases, 
and contributing fixes: Andre Bargull, Sebastian Wagner, Ammar Sh. 
Tazami, Justin Clift, Mohammad ZeinEddin, Michael Jessup, and Nasser 
Najjar.

Thanks!
Amy Muntz
