Already a new release, fixing a bug and picking up an important bugfix release in EvaProperties:

• Fix: AbstractResponse.htmlErrorPage has a fallback title in case the status code is null.
• Changed dependency to eva-properties to version 0.5.5 since it contains an important bugfix.
• The eva.config directory is now configurable through the plugin configuration. Defaults to "${basedir}/src/main/config".

Recently I discovered that the SimpleBlogPlugin is not working with Trac 0.11, which I'm using since last week. Therefore I had to install the much cooler FullBlogPlugin, which I'm writing this blog post with.

Unfortunately, the old blog posts could not be migrated, so I had to copy over each post into the new blog. So if anyone is wondering why all the blog entries are within the same hour: this is the reason.

But why are there those EvaScript blog posts?
Well, I thought it might be easier to follow the project if the news channel for EvaServer and EvaScript are the same. The projects are decoupled in the code, but they are not used independently (not yet, at least).
Therefore I have created quite a mess in the blog, 'cause I cannot change the date of a post and now there are all EvaServer posts below all EvaScript posts.

Anyway, I hope you like the blog as much as I already do and I'm sure you already discovered the "New Comment" button ;-)

Cheers

New in this version:

• All modules now have the same version as the parent pom.
• HostPluginManager does not hold a static instance of the generic plugin anymore and corrected TestCase base classes accordingly.
• Added HostObject.construct(...) overrides with no parameters, one parameter and two parameters.
• Removed unnecessary and buggy implementations of indexOf and lastIndexOf in HostList.
• More JavaDoc.

This release improves the performance of script evaluation dramatically.

There is a new JSExecution class controlling the execution context of a JSGlobal object. There can me more than one instance of JSExecution controlling the same JSGlobal object. EvaScript should be thread save now. However, using EvaScript that way is experimental at the moment.

Enjoy! Max

This one contains a couple of smaller improvements and bugfixes.

EvaScript does now support Safari 3 Mobile (AKA Safari on iPhone / iPod touch).

Happy downloading!

Sorry for not blogging about the last few releases. Bussy times. 0.9.10 is a big release. A lot of new features! Some parts of the API changed, so make sure to check out the release notes for 0.9.10 before migrating your projects!

0.9.10

• API CHANGED: input.Manager used the new listener model.
• API CHANGED: DTD URL is now http://evaserver.com/dtd/rof-1.0.dtd

Some documentation and code cleanup as well as minor bugfixes in this one.

According to the release of EvaScript 0.7.3, I have released EvaServer 0.9.3 which ships with the new EvaScript builds. Apart from the iPhone support that comes with the new Safari 3 mobile plugin, this also includes exciting features like variants. Variants allow you to override application settings depending on the client.

See changes report for more details.

Happy downloading!
