Hi all,
Many many times without any update or new release I know :( , but there is one at last !
More than a simple Fever update, I'm proud to announce the new FeverIOC extension here( welcome to the Inversion Of Context world ! )

Some people will say "What ! An update on AS2 version but no AS3 version yet ?"
Yes sorry, I d'ont have enough free time to starts AS3 version of frameworks, but it is on my long todo list ;)
I work everyday with this the Actionscript 2 version, so many bug fixes is done and some new features appears.

Let's discover now...

new fever.data.libs.SecureConfigLoader class:
- Extends Pixlib ConfigLoader to allow loading of crypted file.
  - Use the new fever.data.libs.SecureXMLToObject class ( extends XMLToObject )
  - And the new fever.data.libs.FileDecrypter strategy class definition
    
    1.   var oC : FileDecrypter = new FileDecrypter( RC4.getProcess(), 'encryptionKey' );
    2.
    3.   var cLoader : SecureConfigLoader = new SecureConfigLoader( oC );
    4.   cLoader.addEventListener( SecureConfigLoader.onLoadInitEVENT, this, _onLoad );
    5.   cLoader.load( 'crypted.xml' );
  - An application will coming soon to crypt / decrypt our configuration file more easily.

new fever.utils.BitmapSaver
- Use Partick Minault AMFPHP service to save a BitmapData as PNG file on serveur side.
- Inspired by Patrick AS2 class but rebuild for a full Pixlib support.
  
  1.    private function _save(  ) : Void
  2.    {
  3.      //Just sample to get a BitmapData instance
  4.      var shoot : ScreenShot = new ScreenShot( Fever.stage.root, true );
  5.      shoot.update();
  6.
  7.      var saver : BitmapSaver = new BitmapSaver( 'http://myServ.com/amf/gateway.php', 'BitmapDataSaver' );
  8.      saver.addEventListener( BitmapSaver.onStartEVENT, this, _onStartExport );
  9.      saver.addEventListener( BitmapSaver.onCompleteEVENT, this, _onComplete );
  10.     saver.addEventListener( BitmapSaver.onErrorEVENT, this, _onError );
  11.
  12.     saver.save( shoot.getData(), BitmapSaver.DEPTH_24, 'monImage' );
  13.   }
  14.
  15.   private function _onStartExport( event : IEvent ) : Void
  16.   {
  17.     FeverDebug.DEBUG( 'On Start' );
  18.   }
  19.
  20.   private function _onComplete( event : IEvent ) : Void
  21.   {
  22.     FeverDebug.DEBUG( 'On Complete' );
  23.   }
  24.
  25.   private function _onError( event : IEvent ) : Void
  26.   {
  27.     FeverDebug.DEBUG( 'Error' );
  28.   }
new fever.utils.TimelineProxy class
- enable to redirect FLA Timeline event dispatching to the FeverController FrontControl

new fever.display.effects package
- Allows to switch between differents Tween strategy
  - fever.display.effects.MSTweenStrategy
  - fever.display.effects.FPSTweenStrategy
  - fever.display.effects.RTTweenStrategy ( Kairos )
- Use fever.display.effects.TweenEngine#setTweenEngine() method to define which strategy to use
  
  1.  var engine : TweenEngine = TweenEngine.getInstance();
  2.  engine.setTweenEngine( RTTweenStrategy.getInstance() );
  3.
  4.  var tween : ITween = engine.getBasicTween( ... );
  5.  tween.start();

That's all for the new Fever features.

Now, I'm proud to announce a new Fever extension named FeverIOC.
Anyone already know about PixIOC Framework ? Of course ! if not take a look here and your world vision will change ;)

FeverIOC extends Francis's library to add Fever features for a plugin entity ( external configuration, localistion, ... ).
More, a Plugin Manager System will be release as part of the FeverIOC ( as abstract plugin implementation ) to allow you to manage plugins loading, registration, activation, and more.
Stay tuned if the I.O.C world is yours ;)
You can take a look at the first public release here : http://as2fever.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/feverIOC/
It is the first release on my public SVN ( don't be hard with me please ), samples, explanations and documentations will be available really soon ;)
