If you missed yesterday’s webcast, here’s your chance to pick it up via recording on Vimeo. In this webcast, Marshall covers everything that’s new in 0.8:
- New Windows Installer: MSI packaging provides a more stable and more robust installation experience.
- Transparent windows: Microsoft Windows apps look fantastic with customizable opacity.
- Improved font rendering: cleaner, crisper native fonts for Windows
- New support for 64-bit Linux: run Titanium apps without 32-bit emulation
- MySQL support for PHP: embed this popular database in your app.
- Improved proxy support: better access behind proxies
- Upgrades to newer Webkit: update to the recent release keeps Titanium on the leading edge for desktop app development.
Attention: Windows Developers: To upgrade to 0.8 on windows you need to re-install Titanium. Click here to get the latest bits. On Linux and Mac OS, update to 0.8 from within Titanium Developer.

Woot, looking forward to using that Windows installer!
What’s new in the webkit upgrade? If not a list of features, can we have a before-and-after version number so we can look up the changes ourselves?
That’s actually a surprisingly difficult question to answer. One big change is that Windows and Linux now support CSS shadows.

Some of the highlights in the webkit bump are a new native JSON parser (highlighted in the webcast), improved font rendering and CSS effects in Windows, and a host of other things I’m sure. For 0.7.0 we were on (roughly) r48160, and for 0.8.0 we’re now on r53022
The MSI is not working for me or my colleges. ISA will not allow Web Installs. I’m sure I’m not alone in this predicament. Do you have a full download?
Any chance you could post these videos to something other than Vimeo? I regularly watch such videos on my iPhone – but cannot watch Vimeo videos. This is very frustrating, and ultimately confuses me that you use this service as you promote the iPhone platform so much.
Appreciate all your work – just wanted to raise this point as it has been bugging me for a while now…
