** IMPORTANT **

** Use this beta version at your own risk! This beta is intended for users already familiar with the Phantom scripting language. New functions and function syntaxes are subject to change. Please read the readme.txt file included in the installation.

** This beta is DOS based, and will not work as an integrated part of PTD or Sidekick. Do not install it over existing versions of Phantom, Phantom Sidekick, or PTD. PTD and Sidekick will support v2.0 when the final version is released.

New Features

Phantom v2.0 is a complete rebuild of the Phantom engine. The overall syntax is much more forgiving and the engine is more robust. Below is a list of many of the key new features:

Real Time Console
Phantom can be run as a console application, accepting real time commands, as well as traditional script commands. This can be useful for trying out new script commands.
Variable Arrays
Variables can now be stored as multi-dimensional arrays.
Global Variables
Global Variables are now supported. All variables are global unless declared inside a function body.
In-line function declarations
Functions can now be declared inside a script, instead of being required to be in a separate file.
Scripts can be run from within scripts
Scripts in another file can now be run inside a script by using the 'include' keyword.
Bitmap Capture Window bitmap capturing is built-in.
New Data Types New data types are available, such as bitmap, and more data types are planned.
New Functions New functions are available, both specifically for windows automation and otherwise. Many more functions will also be added prior to the final release.
Debug Console In the BETA version, there is a debug console for debugging Phantom scripts.
Backwards Compatible Phantom v2.0 is designed to be backwards compatible.
