DXCanvas 2.0

image I released an update for DXCanvas yesterday. This new version is in sync with the latest Canvas specifications. Error handling has been overhauled and is now closer to the spec (some things still aren’t the same as we are not running inside a browser and thus do not have access to a real DOM tree).

The Canvas Controller widget has received a lot of updates and can now run the Canvas test suite and generate a test report. We now pass 92.1% of the tests.

The source code has also been moved to a public repository on Google Code.

You can get DXCanvas from here or from Wincustomize.
