Apache Flex 4.12 release

Hi,

We probably have enough fixes and enough time has passed to make a new release. There are three regression issues that I can see that would need to be fixed before we can do this.

Two relate to datagids and tabbing - anyone how any idea what changed to cause these issues?
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-33934
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-33941

The other was introduced by Alex's fix for usesDiscretionaryHyphens
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-33985

Alex any chance you could look at this issue again or change usesDiscretionaryHyphens default to false.

Thanks,
Justin

I am more apt to work on a regression than other SDK bugs.  But everyone
gets to choose what they work on.

However, you are definitely doing the right thing by making noise for bugs
you want fixed.  If you can, add it to FLEX-33952 it will also help keep
it in front of our faces.

Are regression bugs on a higher priority than other bugs? Just asking
because I found one for the numeric stepper.  But it is a regression since
4.6.  Just throwing it up there incase it was missed.

I'm still not sure there anything that effects end users, Java 7 can use Java 6 compiled jars right? Do we know if say the Java 7 compiled mxmlc is any fasters etc? I wouldn't expect any huge differences.

DataGrid had a change to restore focus to the DG under certain
circumstances.  Looks like it had some side effects.

I'll find some time to look at these this coming week.

I'd like to get another release of the installer out and hopefully make it
the final one before or at the same time as 4.12.  There are some open
issues we need to resolve first.

Also, we need to decide whether we are going to release both Java 6 and
Java 7 binaries.  And if only Java 6, are we going to hit that comparator
issue more often as more folks move the Java 7?
