Under-the-hood improvements

If the Open Laszlo team seem quiet since shipping OL4 Beta 1, it's because we've got our heads together way under the hood of the language, runtime and tools. Henry Minsky has been working on RPC and (hooray!) the grid component. Frisco has been paving the way for CSS development in Legals by porting the CSS test suite to lzunit. Jim Grandy, our fearless leader, is continuing his work on the documentation tools, and bringing Phill Apley into the reference guide tools effort. Tucker is fixing event and initialization order, which corrects a lot of component issues. Max Carlson is going sicko crazy on a new tag that will delight and amaze you. The Doc Guy (tm) is hard at work on the information architecture of the whole Open Laszlo site, with an exciting new project in the planning stages. And the rest of us -- including the community! -- continue to work on filing reproducible bugs, improving build processes, and evangelizing Open Laszlo in our free time. I don't have a firm date for our next two releases (OL4 Beta 2 and OL4 Final), but I can say, they will represent some of the best architectural work I've ever seen.

    I realize this is off topic, but I can’t figure how to join this forum, so I’m going to ask the question here…

    Does anyone know what’s going on with the ideforlaszlo eclipse plugin? I have tried to get it and have not been successful. I’d appreciate any help anyone can provide.

    Thanks,
    Mark.
