InScript Release 184
InScript release 184 is a minor update only with two bug fixes and two
new features. Features: XMLHttpRequest now has a
overrideMimeType method, and HTMLImageElement knows
its position on screen (properties x and y).
Fixes: Array.prototype.join deals with Unicode characters
correctly, and \nnn in regexp character classes is evaluated as an octal
escape (and not as a back reference), i.e.
/He(l)[\1]o/.test("Hello")
yields false
now (in contrast to previous InScript releases), and
/He(l)[\001-\234]o/.test("Hello")
yields
true.
Both is explicitely forbidden according to the ECMAScript standard (a
SyntaxError should be thrown instead), but InScript's behavious now
matches Safari and Firefox (and not Perl, though back references in
character classes are really cool!).
