AngelScript 1.8.0c (2004/07/19)

Andreas Jonsson · 2004-07-28T08:36:50

I've finally decided to release version 1.8.0. Lot's of things have been done for this version. Let's see if I can give a summary of them here: There is no longer a built in bstr type. Instead the application needs to register its own type. This change was made to add flexibility in how strings are passed between script and application and vice versa. For those who have come acustomed to the bstr type I've made a small library for registering that type with complete compatibility. It is now possible to overload compound assignment operators as well. Scripts can now be compiled into separate modules, each with their own namespace. This is especially useful if you have two scripts with the same interface but different implementations, e.g. AI routines for different types of entities. The STDCALL calling convention is now supported as well, which means that Win32 API functions can be registered directly with the library. It is now possible to enumerate and access global variables declared in the scripts. This could for example be used for saving script states. The interface for registering functions and methods have changed slightly in preparation of improvements coming in version 1.8.1. Other changes you'll find in the change log as usual. I'll spend the following days updating the articles to conform to the new version. PS. I decided to postpone the switch-case implementation for the next version.

Thanks. I'll look into this. I'm sure it shouldn't be too difficult to start using.

I personally like Subversion (http://subversion.tigris.org/) better than CVS. SourceForge doesn't support it though, which'd mean you'd need to provide a server.
