The nightly build is unstable by definition, but we do periodic releases that are more stable. The most recent release is 4.0.2, and we’re coming up on 4.0.3. The 4.0.2 release can be found here:

Performance expectations for the DHTML runtime are “pretty good” and “maybe a bit slower than Flash on the same machine.” The browser matters a lot, though; in particular, IE6 is way slower than anything else.
There is some performance data in http://svn.openlaszlo.org/test/performance/analysis sorted by build id. Later builds have higher numbers, and smaller results are faster.

To check for null pointers without causing a null pointer exception, do this…
if (”something” in this && this.something) {
…
}

Is the nightly build stable or we have to wait?

Thank you,

How does one check for null pointers correctly without the test itself causing a reference to a null pointer?

Thanks
