AmFast 0.3.0 Released!

The latest version of AmFast is out. In addition to the changes listed below, the documentation has been updated, and there are several new examples.

remoting

• Producer/Consumer messaging via HTTP polling.
• Channels and ChannelSets allow resources to be exposed in multiple ways.
• Built in Channels for CherryPy, Twisted Web, and straight-up WSGI.
• Easy to configure authentication for NetConnection and RemoteObject.
• Connection objects hold session attributes tied to Flex client id.
• Customizable Endpoints to encode/decode messages with external encoding/decoding libraries.
• PyAmfEndpoint to encode/decode messages with pure Python, with no C compiler dependencies.

encode/decode

• Read and write to file-like-objects or strings (using strings is much faster).
• Automatic type conversion.
• amfast.class_def.as_types.AsProxy and amfast.class_def.as_types.AsNoProxy allow overriding 'use_collections' and 'use_proxies' settings for a individual objects.
• readExternal and writeExternal methods of the IEXTERNALIZABLE interface accept different parameters to make custom encodings easier.
• amfast.encoder.Encoder and amfast.decoder.Decoder: Wrappers around amfast.encode and amfast.decode, so you don't need to pass the same arguments every time you encode or decode.
