I've released version 2.18.1. As I had imagined in the previous release, I wasn't able to implement the support for function pointers for this release, but I have it pretty much planned out now so hopefully the actual implementation should be quite quick now. I was however able to implement the support for initialization lists for registered types. This means that the application can now register a template type with the exact same capabilities of the built-in array type, without the need for any modifications to the library. This also means that in the near future I will remove the built-in array type in favor of the add-on, just as was done with the string type a long time ago. Another feature that made it into this release is the support for property accessors for global properties, i.e. global functions with the prefixes get_ and set_ now act as property accessors. This is especially useful for those application properties that you want to expose, but that doesn't use an internal representation that you expose to AngelScript, e.g. char* strings. I also finally got around to implement the support for native calling conventions on Win64 that I've been putting off for so long. Now I just need the 64bit Mac OS X support and then all major platforms are supported. Hopefully someone with access to a 64bit Mac OS X would be willing to contribute that code. Even if the above feature are not of immediate intestest to you, you should really consider upgrading to this version. There were a few important bug fixes, and I also spent some time doing some optimizations that should hopefully have a noticeable impact on your application. Thanks to the following people for submitting bug reports and helping me fix them: Samuel E. Henley, Gibbon_99, Friggle, kk, Thy Reaper. Regards, Andreas

Due to the nature of my project I'm usually a release or two behind, but I really appreciate your hard work.
