Tamarin:ScreamingMonkey

ScreamingMonkey is the project to add script-engine integration glue to Tamarin, so that it can handle

 <script type="application/ecmascript;version=4">

and

 <script type="application/javascript;version=2">

tags in other browsers, starting with IE (using ActiveScript interfaces).

Current Status

A functional implementation exists in the tamarin-central Mercurial repository (look for an axscript directory). A number of problems remain - some due to limitations in the Scripting Engine, others related to work that still needs to be done on Tamarin itself. The best thing is to download the binary and try it out!

A binary is available here - it is a typical Windows installer, including uninstaller, and includes the engine, a README and some test files (md5sum of installer is 3444f578a3a604e36022f77c41cb7137.) Although it should be considered an Alpha release, it works well enough for many purposes.

We are currently planning Stage 3 - see Tamarin:ScreamingMonkey:Planning notes for what remains.
