Future news
The official stance is "first we weed out the bugs, then we do an English release", use the Russian community as beta testers. The news roundup is NOT a good place to announce a release. That's why it's zero publicity until the 3.0 bug-free release.
- A new INSTEAD 2.5-alpha release is open for testing. After the successful test it would become the 3.0 release. You can download the Windows, Caanoo, WinCE, Symbian and Linux packages from here and the Android version is here. The 3.0 version will have a new Lua stack and a tiny core for blind-accessible interpreters (
instead-tiny, also see Plainstead project). The English documentation is planned for 3.0 release. - INSTEAD-JS was updated, too. Now it has INSTEAD 3 support and can play games from ZIP archives (user-provided or online-hosted). Some features (for example, custom fonts, OGG sounds) are not supported in IE.
