Another Article about RIA … and OpenLaszlo at theServerSide.com

I just read a new article at theServiceSide.com about RIA … they also refer directly to OpenLaszlo.

The Article is based on an article of Glen Lipka Blog. He gives a List and short description about the different Frameworks. Don’t know if its just a list or a ranking based on the opinition of the author. I think most of the devs/readers do not recognise yet that they can render in both runtimes, DHTML and SWF. But its good to see that the discussion about it has started.

OpenMeetings 0.5.2 released

The Release 0.5.2 is a development snapshot

Fixed Issues/new Features:

  • a Pointer Tool, also non Moderators can click on the Whiteboard and everybody will see that.
  • removed the annoying bandwidth warning in the Screen-Sharing Client
  • Screen Sharing Client does stop broadcasting screens to all users if the user leaves the room
  • new Toolbars
  • new translation (Hungarian)
  • new Property Inspector
  • some minor issues like removed browser feature, disabled recording button, changed window resizer
  • a new Servlet for Direct-Login/Invoking SOAP Methods without using SOAP see MethodGateway

this will be the last release of OpenMeetings based on OpenLaszlo 4.0.x.
For the next version we will switch at least to OpenLaszlo 4.1.1.
See the new tree in the SVN:
http://openmeetings.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/openmeetings_lps411/

The Moodle Plugins (and all others usign the SOAP-Gateway should still work)
The recorder-buttons, browser-feature are disabled cause they need some rework. To enable the recorded you will have to build the client from source.

OpenLaszlo running in Chrome faster then in Firefox3?

as the first Application to test with the new Google Browser Chrome I choose the OpenLaszlo Demo Applications (LzPix, Calendar, Amazon, Component Sampler) in latest OpenLaszlo-Trunk. First of all I do not see any real difference from the Look And Feel. I had the feeling that Firefox 3 is slightly faster on my Windows machine. But it could be just my subjective feeling.

After all its very nice to see that Chrome seems to be fully compatible to OpenLaszlo generated JavaScript! An in depth comparison / benchmark of Chrome and Firefox3 (and also other browsers) to see which one is best for OpenLaszlo in DHTML runtime would be a great little project.
