formsPlayer Community Edition 1.5.4 beta now available

We'd like to invite developers to start using and testing the latest build of formsPlayer 1.5.4.

Version 1.5 is not quite complete, but is already much faster than 1.4, thanks to significant improvements in repeat handling, major changes to switch and case, faster loading of data into select and select1 controls when a form starts, and a move from MSXML 4 to MSXML 6 (which also improves memory usage).

We've also continued to implement more of XForms 1.1, so that authors have greater control over data submission, can use output to render images, and much more. A full test-suite is being prepared to both test and demonstrate the full range of available features, so you'll soon get a good idea of exactly what's available. And to make it easier to build tests for your own XForms applications we've also made some important improvements to our Selenium support.

Finally, there are a number of bug fixes, the most important being resolutions to a couple of crashes. They've been difficult to reproduce because they occurred in code that handles the asynchronous processing, but we think we have them nailed now. If you come across others that we haven't seen, we would really appreciate feedback.
