We are excited to announce that the snapshot release of the OpenLaszlo Legals project is available! The snapshot represents the current state of the Legals project, the goal of which is to make OpenLaszlo a true multi-runtime environment by supporting DHTML, in addition to SWF. See the OpenLaszlo Legals page for more information.

With this snapshot, you can:

• Compile and run the LZPIX demo application for both SWF and DHTML with FireFox 1.5 or higher
• Download binary builds of the Legals software for all supported platforms (Linux/Unix, MacOS X, Windows XP)
• Access the source code using Subversion, such that you can build and use Legals for simple apps

You will find that most existing OpenLaszlo applications targeted for SWF and built in Legals will function reasonably well. As expected in a preview, there are some new bugs resulting from the significant architecture changes underway to support DHTML. You will also find that there is already a significant amount of functionality for DHTML that is supported. See the Release Notes, available from the OpenLaszlo Download page for specific information. Please keep in mind that the APIs used in Legals will change. We do not guarantee compatibility between this snapshot and the final Legals release.

This is your chance to see what is going on in the project and to get involved! We encourage you to try out this snapshot and report bugs that you find using JIRA. Specific details, as to whether something works in DHTML -vs- SWF is very helpful.

Join the community by getting involved in fixing problems, or supporting functionality in DHTML. See Become a Contributor for information on getting involved.
