We are pleased to announce that OpenLaszlo 4.0.5 is available. You can download the software here: http://www.openlaszlo.org/download.

OpenLaszlo 4.0.5 is the recommended platform for .swf development. With OpenLaszlo 4.0.5, there is no longer any reason to continue application development using OpenLaszlo 3.4. This release has been qualified the Laszlo Systems Quality Assurance team and users in the community. Over 100 improvements have been made since OpenLaszlo 4.0.3, including
fixes from community members and the OpenLaszlo team.

In addtion, OpenLaszlo 4.0.5 added a new feature: explicit replication, which enables data-driven replication as an explicit syntax tag in LZX. You can read more about it in the proposal on the wiki: http://wiki.openlaszlo.org/Explicit_Replication. There will be more detailed documentation in upcoming releases.

And, for those of you following the releases closely - What happened to version 4.0.4? We skipped a number. We don't like 404s.

Keep in mind that support for applications to DHTML remains at "beta" level; it will be fully supported with OL 4.1 (code name RingDing in Jira). You can see the latest and greatest by downloading the nightly builds of 4.x trunk at http://www.openlaszlo.org/download.

For every release, we rely on the OpenLaszlo community to help ensure the quality of the platform release and to participate in determining its future direction. We encourage you to report any problems, and to make suggestions for enhancements, through our JIRA bug tracking system.

Thank you all for your efforts towards making OpenLaszlo 4.0.5 our officially recommended SWF platform.
