Okay, so 0 = false, so it makes sense that !0 = true. but also 1 = true, so that saved 1 byte.

Since there’s no .readyState attribute > 4, instead of .readyState == 4, you can do .readyState>3

the big one was ActiveX, which was originally

x=new(this.ActiveXObject?ActiveXObject:XMLHttpRequest)('Microsoft.XMLHTTP')

I noticed how this.activeXObject was repeated unnecessarily. So i added a new variable y

y=this.ActiveXObject

then I did:

y=this.ActiveXObject;x=new(y?y:XMLHttpRequest)('Microsoft.XMLHTTP')

thanks to dynamic languages, I could use x, and just reset it to something else (saving a variable declaration!)

x=this.ActiveXObject;x=new(x?x:XMLHttpRequest)('Microsoft.XMLHTTP')

Now I just need to find a way to shrink

x.setRequestHeader('Content-type','application/x-www-form-urlencoded')

Um… I got vX Ajax 1 byte smaller.

*I think you can’t get any smaller than this… For real…

Okay, so one day i felt crazy and changed everything by 1 decimal place because i don’t want this to seem misleadingly good. I mean, if it hits a 1.0 release, then some people would think it’s almost as good as Flash 1 (futuresplash animator) which it it isn’t even near yet.

So it should be 1.5 but now it’s 0.15 :D

Read more to find out the whole list, a summary of it would be axml2, UI polishing, save space, nicer code (but still hideous), css, users, tweening, finish partially completed ideas etc.

What’s done so far

• Redesigned Register UI
• Save Lots of code
• New Save/Open file format (around 5x faster, and 10 times smaller)
• Relocating stuff
• interactive tutorials
• Backwards Compat Mode
• for the first time it’s gonna be a legitimate GPLv2 project (I’m gonna include the gpl.txt file for once)
• replaced wz_tooltips with native ext.js ones
• Change save file to computer architecture
• change organization of Save/Open buttons in file menu (submenus)
• optimized stuff
• fixed bugs
• No more save/open window (now, single-purpose dialog alerts, much better)
• Progress bars
• User friendly upload error message (yay!)
• relocate css
• delete lot’s of stuff from user-management
• REAL SUPPORT FOR LINES/ELLIPSES, lines didn’t work for tweening, ellipses didn’t work for tweening or flash, and ALL suffered from a programming error causing line-widths to be messed up.
• FastMode …and more to come
