XAMJ 0.91 Is Out - Open Source XAML Alternative

XAMJ is an XML language designed as an open-source, Java-based alternative to 
Microsoft's .NET-based XAML, plus as a way to address many of the shortcomings of 
HTML/Javascript. Warrior is the prototype browser for XAMJ. This release focuses on 
improvements in deployability, reliability and completeness.

The list of changes follows:

- Windows: Now adding .xamj file mapping during installation of Warrior. This allows 
Windows users to double-click .xamj files directly (works just as if it were an interpreted 
language, even though it's compiled -- we just need to add caching to make it fast.) Note, 
however, that clicking on .xamj links in Internet Explorer causes the .xamj file to be 
downloaded by IE, then passed to Warrior as a file, which will break relative URLs 
contained in the .xamj file. We might have to add another kind of file, such as .xamjlnk 
that contains the actual .xamj URL, to allow effective linking from IE and other browsers. If 
anyone knows a better way to achieve this, please email info AT xamjwg DOT org.

- Changed mime-type to application/x-xamj+xml.

- Fixed issue with split-box orientation.

- Fixed issue with tree-node sizing after icon added.

- Fixed issue with on-demand content loading not repainting sometimes.

- Added support for widget elements radio-button, check-box, toggle-button, radio-
button-menu-item, check-box-menu-item, and button-group.

- Added support for document-disposition element below head, whose text value may be 
frame, window, or auto. The default is frame, which causes the document to be rendered 
in the Warrior frame. Use window for standalone applications. The auto value means that it 
depends on how it's invoked.

- Warrior now runs in Mac OS X after fixing compiler bootclasspath. (Thanks to Carlos 
Solorzano for reporting the issue and helping test changes.)

- Added vbox and hbox abbreviations, like XUL.

- Added validation of element parent types.

- Changed tab attribute title to text.

- Fixed issue with on-click event in nested markup elements.

- Fixed issue with output stream not getting closed in download dialog.

  If anyone tries out XAMJ let us know what you think.
