Hi list,

I'm happy to announce that haXe 1.02 is now available for download from
the haXe Wiki on http://haxe.org

>From a language point of view, there is two new things :
  - extensions : http://haxe.org/ref#extensions
  - unsafe cast : http://haxe.org/ref#unsafe_cast

There is several new classes in the standard library :
  - haxe.unit standard unit testing framework
  - neko.zip package
        http://haxe.org/api/neko/zip/Compress
        http://haxe.org/api/neko/zip/Uncompress
        http://haxe.org/api/neko/zip/File
  - neko.db.Sqlite to access Sqlite database
        http://haxe.org/api/neko/db/Sqlite
	The database API is now standard so you can use either
        MySQL or Sqlite to access for SPOD for example
  - mod_neko works now for Apache2 server
        on windows distrib it's named mod_neko2.ndll

Backward incompatible changes :
  - you need to import js.Dom before using a JavaScript Dom type

Changes are the following :
  * fixed stack overflow when recursive class <: recursive signature
  * improved a bit commandline : allow several hxml arguments
  * added {> Class, fields... } types declarations
  * added cast without type (less dangerous than untyped)
  * no stage objects by default, added --flash-use-stage
  * added haxe.remoting.DelayedConnection
  * added -exclude
  * removed classpath from neko debug infos filenames
  * fixed bug in Neko empty Array.pop and Neko EReg.replace ""
  * fixed nodeValue for Neko XML comments, doctype, prolog
  * improved DocView : formating, signatures, files generation
  * added neko.zip package
  * fixed bug in neko.File binary flags
  * fixed problems when downloading big files using haxe.Http under Neko
  * neko.db.Connection and neko.db.ResultSet are now interfaces
  * added neko.db.Sqlite and neko sqlite ndll
  * mod_neko2.ndll for Apache2 in Windows distribution
  * fixed bug in static properties method resolution
  * change js.Dom : use cascading signatures and improved api
  * added haxe.unit Unit test framework

Enjoy !

Nicolas
