MTASC Version 1.12 Released

This is a minor release that addresses the following issues (according to the readme):

• prevented -keep with -header
• allowed dynamic static classes
• improved Flash8 shapes support
• allowed access to private variables inside local defined functions
• faster SWF parsing

Since MTASC is pretty much stable, this can be considered a non-critical update. For the most part I avoid dynamic classes and "local defined functions" (closures), so it doesn't sound like this will impact me too much. But faster SWF parsing is always welcome.

I continue to be blown away by what Nicolas Cannasse has achieved with MTASC. I've been working on a game for the last month using it exclusively, and it's worked like a charm. I only use the Flash IDE to put together the art. Obviously the situation will change a bit when Flex 2 comes out, but at the moment, there's no better platform for compiling code-intensive SWFs. Period. If you're a Flash coder and you haven't investigated MTASC yet, I would highly recommend paying a visit to mtasc.org.
