ZPE 1.14.8, already shaping up to be the best release in ZPE history, is getting even better: this time, it's getting the newly completed Python, PHP and the new JavaScript transpilers built in.
The main reason behind this is to provide ZPEX with the ability to use transpilers.
One big benefit is that these are very lightweight, so they add very few additional storage requirements to the ZPE JAR or the ZPEX binary.
And, best of all, I'm going to continue to maintain and update the plugins, which can overwrite the built-in transpilers (and actually, when updates come to the plugins, they'll also come to the release version of ZPE, since ZPE itself just bundles the actual plugins).
There is one breaking change in ZPE 1.14.8, and one that I should have broken years ago:
If you're working in an object, and you reference a property of the object in a function just by using its name (e.g. $begin), ZPE will no longer treat this as an object property, just a local variable. You must explicitly reference it with this, (e.g. this->$begin).
