vertx-lang-typescript 1.0.0

I’m happy to announce the first stable version of vertx-lang-typescript. The library adds support for (the all-new) TypeScript 1.6 to (the also all-new) Vert.x 3.1 or higher.

The library registers a new factory for verticles written in TypeScript. Just add the library to your class path and you’re done. Files with a name ending in .ts will automatically be compiled to JavaScript when they are executed.

Type definitions for the Vert.x JavaScript API are also provided. Use them in your favourite TypeScript editor to get auto-completion, API documentation and meaningful error messages (see the following screencast).
