Just a small announcement,

Daily builds are now available for dmdscript, with alot of added libraries.
http://www.akbkhome.com/blog.php/View/152/GtkDjs_daily_builds_added_libraries_and_much_more.html

This also includes major fixes to the core engine including
- Proper Javascript scoping support.
- Library binding support in core.
- Warning support
- Proper error reporting - file/line number etc.
  *** (Backtraces maybe comming soon...)
- Beginnings of ECMAscript4 support (class keyword!)

Bindings include (in various states of support)
- Gtk
- Libsoup (HTTP)
- Mysql
- Fastcgi
- GtkSourceView
- Glade
- Phobos (File/Path)
- Cario
- Dom (via gdome+libxml2)


It would be nice if Walter would re-licence this as LGPL... (but it's 
all GPL at present as per the original code)

Regards
Alan

The fact that Walter has released DMDScript as GPL does not mean that 
all the stuff you connect to it has to be GPL. It merely means that you 
have to distribute the whole as GPL so long as they're being compiled 
together. You can rip out a portion which is not GPL and use it under 
whatever license it's under - e.g. if you licensed your Gtk binding 
under LGPL, and somebody ported it to a different ECMAScript engine, 
they could then use it as LGPL.
