I'm very happy to announce that the new release of
HippoHX is ready to
download. There are a bunch of changes on the API, bug fixes but specially the first version of the GUI is ready. That means you don't have to figure out the hhx format or how to call the packager, the GUI will do all that for you automatically.
Another big thing is that, as you might have guessed from
previous posts, there's now an auto-generated on-line documentation of
HipoHX's client API. I finally went for ASDoc, I'll comment the reasons in another post.
Next version will heavily focus on fixing bugs, improving the GUI (mr
Karp has a lot to do), finishing
haXe video integration so you can record audio/video from your apps out of the box, and whatever comes from the people using it.
HippoHX is starting to look to what it should: GUI + API for SWHX and I'm happy for that. I'm also happy because working in HippoHX is forcing me to look to a million different things such as Flex, AS3, ASDoc, haXe and even bash scripting (check out my
make file, although I'm planning to change it already) and that was one of the initial ideas too: use HippoHX as an excuse to learn.
Just for the record, working alone on a project like this takes a huge, huge amount of time, it really does. Maybe it's because I'm not the smartest guy on Earth, but it's amazing the amount of stuff to do.
Anyway, if you are a Flash developer and have a SWF you want to make a desktop application go get the latest download and start finding bugs : )
Cheers!
