Dear Diary :lol:

here we will post news about the development of the next version of the WebPlayer. So far everything went smooth. But there is still a lot of work.

I have coded a new drawing library. Now it is very easy to draw nearly everything with actionscript. There are still a lot of tweaks to do.

I improved the drawing library. It is now possible to draw holes inside objects. This wasn't possible before. Furthermore we did some mockups of the new design of the WebPlayer. We will post a screenshot soon.

Here you can see an early mockup of the new design. It's drawn with our new library. The colors may change before release.

We are making good progress. But there is still enough on our todo list. I have made a screenshot of the latest version in the trunk.

Since this morning the heart of the player is beating. The CoreController class seems to be almost free of bugs.

Here is one more screenshot of the latest svn version. There were much more changes done (especially by panther) than you can see in the screenshot

. I can't do much coding until mid July in cause of my diploma examinations.

Long time no type. We are still working on the WebPlayer and we want to release a new test version soon. I also played around with the design. The latest trunk version looks like the attachment below.

Panther has developed a nice new testpage which makes it much more easier for us to test the WebPlayer behaviour under certain circumstances.

I also fixed a small bug in Steve's nice Delegate.as class. The class didn't compile with mtasc 1.13!

Code:

Today we added support for the xspf playlist format and fixed some bugs.
We are approaching beta status. :wink:

Finally remote control is possible now.
We just need to fix some minor bugs until next release. :lol:

Our new test page is also available online now! If you want to play with the new WebPlayer go to http://test.vanadium.webminster.org an press the Go button.

This player will not work on your homepage!

After our website upgrade we finally had some time to work on the WebPlayer again. We already have many ideas for version 3.0. But for now we have a new beta version of the 2.5 series.

Hi, thanks for the new beta! Will you please create a 2.5b3 tag in SVN?

Thanks! -Ross
