Widget encryption has been removed as a requirement. Authors are free to encrypt packages using whatever means they have at their disposal, but they will need to be decrypted before they can be run on a widget engine. We make no requirement on widget engines to support encryption (even if the packaging format supports it). -- Marcos Caceres http://datadriven.com.au
