SWX Alpha 0.2.0 Release

SWX Alpha version 0.2.0 is now available for download.

SWX 0.2.0 is another huge release and brings with it cross-domain data exchange as well as an API change.

For a comprehensive review of this release, see this blog post on aralbalkan.com.

Please read the release notes below for a full list of changes in this version.

  • API change: Prepare.forPhp() has been replaced with SWX.prepare(). See the updated introductory blog post on SWX for usage examples.
  • You can now do cross-domain data exchanges with SWX. If you want to disallow cross-domain access to your data, set the allowDomain paramater to false in the swx_config.php file (php/swx_config.php).
  • Added PowerPC support. Should now work on older (bi-endian) Macs.
  • The SWX analyzer now also works across domains. This means that once open, it will display data loading from any domain, local or remote.
  • GET support was broken on SWX gateway. This has now been fixed.
  • SWX now uses JSON instead of PHON when serializing arguments sent from the client to the server.
  • Fixed setVariable (bytecode) bug and removed respective workaround in SWFCompiler class.
  • Tested with PHP versions 4.4.2, 4.4.4, 5.1.4, 5.1.6, 5.2.1. Confirmed to *not* work with the PHP 4.3 branch (this branch and earlier versions are not supported.)

    Sorry if the idea is silly, but since the data is sent in a swf, would it be feasible to include png files (or other assets) in the results, so, say, if I have a list of text data and images I could retrieve it all with one request, one progress bar displaying accurate feedback, etc. I imagine it wouldn’t be possible to have symbols with linkage ids, it wouldn’t work outside the loaded swf (or maybe it would with a helper method inside each swf? - I’m just dreaming), but then we could have instances on first frame. How crazy is that?
