Bug fixes :

fr.kapit.actionscript.lang.parsing.StringTokenizer
When using a string litteral as a delimiter, there is no need to protect (use a back slash) RegExp meta characters

Improvements :

documentation (as doc)

test cases
Reduces dependencies between classes. Using a single class should not pull the entire library.

fr.kapit.actionscript.asset
Added "functions" package : all the methods from AssetsUtil are now also available as stand alone functions

fr.kapit.actionscript.lang.array
Added "functions" package : all the methods from ArrayUtil are now also available as stand alone functions

fr.kapit.actionscript.lang.string
Added "functions" package : all the methods from StringUtil are now also available as stand alone functions

fr.kapit.actionscript.lang.date
Added "functions" package : some methods from DateUtil are now also available as stand alone functions

All event classes now overrides toString() using the formatToString() method

fr.kapit.actionscript.math.MathUtil
Added toFixed() method to truncate floating point values
Added nearlyEqual() method : fuzzy comparison method

fr.kapit.actionscript.math.Math2D
Added getBestFitRatio()
scaleBestFit() now returns Number value instead of integers

fr.kapit.actionscript.lang.array.ArrayUtil
Added distinctItems() method to remove duplicate array entries
Improved speed for indexOf() and lastIndexOf() by using unrolled loops

fr.kapit.actionscript.system.DisposeUtil
Added disposeBitmap(), disposeBitmapData() and disposeByteArray() method
Reworked the dispose() method to handle Array, updated documentation accordingly

fr.kapit.actionscript.net.command
Added IStreamLoaderCommand interface

fr.kapit.lang.actionscript.system.debug
Added formatToString() method (at package level) a quick way to obtain a string representation from an object

Breaking Changes:

fr.kapit.actionscript.asset package
Modified the IAssetLibrary interface : added generic getAs() method to replace getAsFont(), getAsMovieClip(), getAsSound(), getAsSprite() and getAsStyleSheet()

fr.kapit.actionscript.collections.maps package
Modified the IMap interface : getKey(), put(), and remove() now return Object instead of *
Modified the IMap interface : added hasKeyElementPair() method originally defined by the IRegistry interface
Removed HashMap and PersistentMap : the implementation was slow
Added SimpleMap and SimplePersistentMap to replace HashMap and PersistentMap

fr.kapit.actionscript.collections.maps.registry
Modified the IRegistry interface : removed hasKeyElementPair() , now defined by IMap
Removed BaseRegistry and BasePersistentRegistry : the implementation was slow
Added SimpleRegistry to replace BaseRegistry

event classes have been moved to "events" sub package
for instance "CommandEvent" has been moved from fr.kapit.actionscript.lang.command to fr.kapit.actionscript.lang.command.events

ArrayUtil moved to fr.kapit.actionscript.lang.array package

StringUtil moved to fr.kapit.actionscript.lang.string package

DateUtil and DateDifference moved to fr.kapit.actionscript.lang.date package

Modified the ICommand interface to return the command instance on execute() and cancel()
Updated all command classes implementing the ICommand interface

Removed fr.kapit.actionscript.net.localconnection package
was useless, need rework

Removed fr.kapit.actionscript.system.device.command package
was useless, need rework

Removed fr.kapit.actionscript.system.device.watchers classes

Removed fr.kapit.actionscript.external.BrowserInfos class
was useless

Removed fr.kapit.actionscript.lang.persistence.SharedObjectUtil class
was useless

fr.kapit.actionscript.math.Math2D
Renamed rotation() to slopeAngle()
Renamed pointsRotation() to pointsSlopeAngle()

fr.kapit.actionscript.lang.string.StringUtil
Removed deprecated asciiCodeToChar() method

fr.kapit.actionscript.lang.array.ArrayUtil
