OpenLaszlo 3.0 Announced

Posted by timothy on from the what-happened-to-sesame? dept.

gse writes "The friendly folks at Laszlo Systems (of which I am one) have just announced the release of OpenLaszlo 3.0. Cool new features in this release: SOLO deployment (compile standalone .swf applications that don't need a proxy server), dynamically loadable libraries, a drawing API, and a bunch of optimizations. Info and downloads are at openlaszlo.org. (OpenLaszlo has been covered before on Slashdot.)"

    Doh. Sorry about that.

    Laszlo is a platform for creating rich internet applications. It competes directly with (and pre-dates) Macromedia Flex. We open-sourced it last fall.

    OpenLaszlo targets the Flash player as its runtime; that decision was made due to Flash's ubiquity. But there's nothing to stop it from being retargeted to Java, .NET, XUL, whatever.
