Today version 0.3.0 of mobl was released. Mobl is a language for rapid development of mobile web applications using HTML5 technologies. Programs written in the mobl language are compiled to a combination of HTML, Javascript and CSS and can run on any webkit browser, specifically those on iOS and Android devices.

New in this version:

  • Styling support. Documentation is upcoming.
  • Configuration file support. Configuration settings are no longer put in the application file itself, but have instead been moved to the config.mobl file in the mobl project.

  • cond for conditionally showing content in user interfaces has been renamed to when, and also has an else clause. So, code like this:

    cond(show) {
  ...
}
cond(!show) {
  ...
}

    can now be rewritten to:

    when(show) {
  ...
} else {
  ...
}
