hi
will it support as2 client api ?
when it will be released ?
thanks
SmartFoxServer 2X
The SFS2X protocol is binary, largely more efficient than text and definitely more efficient than RTMP, which is proprietary. So no need for multi protocols.

Will actionscript still be supported for server-side extensions? If so, does that mean it will be AS3, and if so, will it have AS3's speed boost compared to the AS2 extensions made for SF 1.x?
I realize that Java extensions are the way to go for ultimate speed and power, but I'm wondering if AS is still supported for quick prototyping, or for projects that are too small to justify the hassle and expense of Java coding.

I'm also wondering, if the compression of messages mentioned here:

provides any additional protection against port sniffers? I imagine that the decompression algorithm is common and not a secret, but maybe it would make it just a little bit harder for a casual hacker to examine messages?

Sorry, no more Actionscript on the server side. Python will remain because it integrates much better with Java.
Of course you will still be free to add the Rhino interpreter (as well as Ruby or any other JVM scripting language) in your extension and use your favorite language for prototyping.
Honestly I think that when you'll play with the new Java framework and deployment system you won't even think to go back to Actionscript
So many things have been improved and the main one is Java itself which since version 5 and 6 has become a much nicer language

Well yes quite a lot. The protocol is not text anymore, even when in clear it's quite a pain to decode. When compressed is pure nonsense.
We have a long a in-depth discussion on a possible encryption feature, which probably won't provide so many benefits as it may sound, but still nice to have --> viewtopic.php?t=7839

So, with the Rhino interpreter, you can write in javascript, yes? And that's very similar to the javascript/as1 extensions? Would the old javascript/as1 extensions from sf1.x work in sf2.x if Rhino is working?
I'm asking because my java skills are not great, my main way of working was to make my extensions in as1 them translate to java.
