Read more about this release in this post and on the download page.

I'm going to be presenting SWX Beta 1 at the Multi-Mania conference in Belgium in a couple of hours and I will be writing more about this important release in the coming days.

Update: Here are the release notes for the Beta 1 release:

What's new in Beta 1.0 (released 2007-5-25)

This is a major release, taking SWX from Alpha to Beta stage.

• Added Full API. This API gives you an abstract interface (you don't have to do movie clip loading by hand), callbacks and timeouts and queued calls.
• Added LoadManager and ExternalAsset classes (part of the Full API). You can use these to load any external asset in queue.
• Refactored gateway and compiler code.
• SWX gateway now performs error checking and returns errors.
• Removed error reporting code from SWX Twitter API as this is now handled by the gateway.
• API Change: The arguments property is now args to be consistent with the Full API.
• Added Full API and No API versions of most Flash samples.
• Updated the SWX start page with the latest code example from my blog.
• Added cancelAllCalls() method to the SWX class and cancelAllLoads() method to the LoadManager class. These clear out the queue of waiting SWX calls and movie loads, respectively.
• Added an additional method of allowing cross-domain data exchanges that doesn't require the main SWF to grant access to the SWX data SWF.
