OpenLaszlo 4.2 Beta 2 follows OpenLaszlo 4.2 Beta as the next build from the trunk
development branch. The primary goal of this release is to provide beta-level support for SWF9
features as indicated below.

Release 4.2b2 highlights include:

• Significant progress on the Laszlo Debugger. It works well in SWF9 for inserting print statements into code for inspection. There is also a new debug tag
  <debug persist="true">, which will keep the debugger window size and position across reloads. Please note that backtrace is not working yet.

• A working Laszlo Profiler in both SWF8 and DHTML

• Improvements to mouse events (onmouseover, mousedown, mouseup) to reduce excess sending of events and to fix edge cases

• A number of bug fixes for the dataselectionmanager

• Significant bug fixes to components (datagrid, comboboxes, floating lists)

• Updated video extensions to current syntax for operation in SWF9

• Audio working in SWF9

• Support for the accessibility APIs

• Support for Japanese characters in the Dev Console

• Laszlo Explorer now runs in SWF9

• FLVs work in SWF9

• Playback controls work for SWF9 animations

• Sample applications: Amazon, Calendar, YouTube, LzPix, and Components Sampler all running in SWF9

OpenLaszlo 4.2 Beta 2 is not a fully-qualified release. It has had limited testing for
specific features. This release is intended as a platform for initial porting and testing of
SWF9 applications.
