Release Notes for OpenLaszlo 4.0.7

OpenLaszlo 4.0.7 is a bugfix release with a few changes since OpenLaszlo 4.0.6. If you are using a version before 4.0.5, we recommending upgrading to 4.0.7. 4.0.7 is the recommended release for swf development! Support for applications to DHTML remains at "beta" level; it will be fully supported with OL 4.1. This release has been tested by users world wide and vetted by the Laszlo Systems Quality Assurance team.

For every release, we rely on the OpenLaszlo community to help ensure the quality of the platform release and to determine its future direction. To propose or participate in discussion of new features, see the wiki. We encourage you to report any problems, and to make suggestions for enhancements, through our JIRA bug tracking system.

Please see the OpenLaszlo 4.0 Release Notes for an overview of significant changes since 3.x.

New Features in 4.0.7

Improved Bug Report Support in Debugger: The `bugReport` method of the Debugger can be used to create a report suitable for copy/pasting into a bug report. To use it, enable backtraces and debugging, then inspect the error message that you believe reveals a bug, then invoke `Debug.bugReport()` in the debugger. Copy and paste the output of that call into your bug report.

This process is described in more detail in the Debugging chapter of the OpenLaszlo Developer's Guide.
