[Laszlo-dev] OpenLaszlo 4.6.1 is Available

[Amy Muntz]

We are pleased to announce the release of OpenLaslzo 4.6.1, which can be 
downloaded here: http://www.openlaszlo.org/download. OpenLaszlo 4.6.1 is 
a bug fix release, containing more than 50 fixes primarily in the area 
of mouse events, context menus, and text. These fixes resulted from an 
architectural simplification of the underlying event and text 
mechanisms, which has the dual effect of both simplifying and 
stabilizing the DHTML code base. In addition, there were significant 
data and replication fixes thanks to André Bargull.

OpenLaszlo 4.6.1 also contains two significant improvements from 
community contributors. Sebastian Wagner extended the output of RPC with 
Gson as the marshaller for JSON. More details are provided in Bug 
LPP-8437, including how to write your own marshaller and how to get the 
Gson Factory to set your custom marshalling options. Raju Bitter added 
support for rotation in DHTML using FireFox 3.5, and fixed the default 
rotation origin to be top left or 0% for DHTML. See BUG LPP-8362 for 
more details. A complete list of bugs fixed in this release can be 
viewed at: http://www.openlaszlo.org/jira/secur...equestId=11021

For those of you who have already upgraded your applications to 
OpenLaszlo 4.2 or higher, no further work is needed. You should just 
start using OpenLaszlo 4.6.1.

We would like to thank the entire OpenLaszlo community for submitting 
bug fixes and participating in discussions to help make OpenLaszlo a 
better platform. Special thanks to André Bargull and Raju Bitter for 
their continued and amazing support of the project. We'd also like to 
thank the incredible engineering team at G.ho.st, who have worked with 
us as a sponsor to bring SWF9 and many other improvements to the 
community. Special recognition is also due to community contributors: 
Chad Lancour, Rami Ojares, Philip Romanik, and Jason Gratt.
