AngelScript 2.13.0 is here

The long wait is over. A new version of AngelScript is available. I've done a bit of clean-up and reorganization with this version, as a result some methods in the engine interface have been deprecated (remember that you can still use them, if you compile the library with AS_DEPRECATED defined) as they have been moved to more appropriate interfaces, i.e. asIScriptFunction and asIObjectType. The asIScriptEngine interface has become a monster over the time, and this restructuring will make the interfaces smaller and better organized, thus improve the useability of the library. In the next versions I plan on creating a new interface asIModule, which will hold the methods for accessing the script modules, e.g. enumerating functions and global variables. Besides the restructuring the new version also includes the new asBEHAVE_REF_CAST behaviour, that allows applications to register how an object handle of one type can be cast to a handle of another type. This is intended for those application registered classes that have a relationship through inheritance. So now polymorphing for registered types is also available. In upcoming versions I'll improve this, by having a asBEHAVE_REF_CAST_IMPLICIT as well, which will tell AngelScript that the cast can be made implicitly by the compiler where appropriate. I received an initial contribution for support for native calling conventions on 64bit platforms from niteice. I've been told that it is not fully working yet, but hopefully the community can help me test it and root out the final problems so that this support can finally be added to the library. And finally but not least, I've fixed quite a few bugs in the latest version. So if you've been having problems, this version is definitely worth checking out. Regards, Andreas

Cool !!!

Graceful !!!!

I had expected it for a long time.
A litter suggestion :

Could the AS project change Multi-Thread DLL to Multi-Thread ?
You're free to change the project settings the way you like. I can't possibly cover all combinations of settings that people may want. I'll have to stick with one, so that I can properly test it.
