MTASC 1.10 Released

This has been a big week for releases.

Hopefully I'll have time to give this a spin over the weekend. But here are some notes from Nicolas on the MTASC mailing list:

There is quite a lot of changes in this version, since 1.09 was released now
2 months ago.
I try to fix bugs but all all minor problems that where making users unhappy
or unconfortable.
I hope this release will open a new peaceful era when I don't have so much
things to fix :)

Incompatibilities :

Some things have been broke between 1.09 and 1.10, mostly syntax which is a
bit more strict in 1.10, and interfaces which are almost like MMC interfaces
now. The following things can also break your code, but should be easy to
change :
- deprecated keywords cannot be used
- "TRACE" should be replaced with "trace"
- escape sequences in strings have to be correct

Here is the list of all changes :
- fixed small problem with class case and import wildcards
- added exclude wildcards and exclude without file
- changed TRACE in "trace"
- added AS keywords as real keywords (including deprecated ones)
- fixed parsing of objects and array declarations and parameters lists
- fixed escape sequences in strings and added unicode escape sequences.
- fixed && and || precedence.
- fixed duplicate public/static/private qualifiers.
- fixed for...in variable forced as String
- no more private and static fields in interfaces
- implemented field cannot be private
- better error when same file referenced several times.
- delete now returns Boolean
- fixed getVersion() in TopLevel
- fixed problem in class replace when not -keep and -mx
- changed -main : now in DoAction and not InitAction
- fixed stack corruption in new var(expr).
- fixed break with several stacked for..in
- disabled variables in interfaces
- added error message when several classes in same file
- changed switch implementation
- fixed typing of ?:
- fixed stack problem with "for"
- separate directory and "add" keyword hack for Flash8

The Wait Is Over

Studio 8 is now shipping. You can also download the new version of the Flash Player, and Free Trials. Perhaps more importantly for OSFlash developers, the Flash 8 ActionScript Language reference has been posted.

What does this all mean for the future of my Flash Beta 8 Docs? Well, it doesn't hurt to keep them up there. And I will update them in the future if I devise helpful examples for certain Classes. But obviously Macromedia's docs should be the first place you go for info.
