JavaScript 1.5 has some interesting features, such as better array manipulation and search. It is already supported by some browsers (FireFox is one) but not by Servoy. When could we have support for JavaScript 1.5 in Servoy? Is it in the works or is it still far away?
i’ve read that the Mozilla Rhino project released a rc1 version supporting JS 1.5. So let’s keep our fingers crossed and maybe it will make it into 3.1 or so
I’m sorry: in my post I referred to JavaScript 1.5, in fact that should have read 1.6. I didn’t know Servoy engine for JS is based on Rhino. And, as far as I know, released versions of Rhino don’t fully support JS 1.6.
I see that there is a Rhino 1.6R3 download. Wouldn’t that be the JS1.6 version ?
Servoy uses Rhino to implement JavaScript. Currently, the version Servoy uses is an older version with some fixes done by Servoy.
Hopefully in 3.1 Servoy will merge the latest Rhino version into their application, because this will also give you XML support in JavaScript!
