Fantom

Its been too long since we posted an official build!

The biggest feature in this build is the new yaml APIs developed by a new contributor Kiera.

Also please note the deprecation of concurrent::Future.state which now conflicts with Java 19's version of Future.state (use Future.status now).

Lots of other new convenience methods and enhancements listed in changelog below.

New Graphics API

We have added a new graphics::Graphics API for rendering 2D graphics. It is pretty similar to the old gfx::Graphics used by the FWT engine. This build includes two implementation of this API:

• JavaScript canvas implementation accessed via dom::Elem.renderCanvas
• Java2D implementation for desktop applications

You can run the testGraphics pod to see both implementations side-by-side. Note on OS X you must remove the -XstartOnFirstThread option from the bin/fanlaunch script.

We have posted a new build for download.

Per discussion in topic 2798, the official build zips will no longer contain any tests. And we are recommending that pods posted to public repositories are compiled with the stripTest flag.

Crypto

We are introducing a brand new crypto API which includes:

This is mostly a much needed maintenance build.

But there are a few small language features...

New build is posted and online docs updated.

Java Support

The previous build 1.0.69 was compiled to target Java 1.5+, but in this build we are targeting 1.7+ or higher. So you will need to run with at least Java 1.7 now (we recommend Java 1.8). Hopefully this should not be a problem since 1.6 is over a decade old now. We'll probably upgrade to require 1.8+ sometime in 2018.

Also note that Java FFI is not going to work with 1.9 because they reworked jars and classpath for project Jigsaw. That will be a significant development effort to fix. In the meantime you will need to use JDK 1.8 when compiling Fantom code which uses Java FFI.
