Apache Flex 4.12 RC1
Hi,
I've just made a RC1 of Apache Flex 4.12.0. It can be found here in a hour or two (how long it take to upload) . [1] Once it's uploaded I change the installer script so it so also get it.
I'm not going to call a VOTE to make this an official release but just want to make sure everything is correct before we make the first real release candidate and VOTE on that.
Can you please:
- Check that file are signed correctly
- Check that you compile the SDK from the source release
- Review the README and RELEASE_NOTES. Is everything up to date?
- Check that the config files are correct
- Check that you can add the SDK in your IDE of choice
- Check that an existing project your are working can use the SDK
- That there are no known regression issues with previous version of the SDK
The more feedback we get the better this release will be.
There's a couple of outstanding things:
- The README does still need some updating
- What versions of the Flash Player / AIR do we want to test this SDK on? Can someone check what versions of we are currently testing against.
- This RC was compiled with Java 7 - is that going to cause any issue for people still using Java 6?
Thanks,
Justin

Just a heads up on Pootle. I know it creates .properties files. I use it
for my own projects. The biggest pitfall I ran into was hooking it up to
mysql. I missed setting the db type to utf8_bin, and it took me hours of
debugging to find that was the problem. Other than that one caveat, it was
a easy setup.
The really nice thing about it is, it detects new translations, as well as
updated ones. And gives nice progress reports for each locale. It's the
system that Mozilla uses for all it's projects.

I've built our medium-scale Flex app using just the command line from
the Ant-based installer on Ubuntu, no issues.
I'm just updated the README on the release4.12.0 branch now.
After the release I'll tweak the installer page on the web site and the
Wiki article it points to

TomChi said he'd do it. He usually does his emails on the dev list while

Re: Apache Flex 4.12 RC1

Well, I've checked in enough stuff to the Installer that don't think I
have anything else on my list. It would be nice if folks could translate
a few more locales. Maybe I'll give pootle a shot. And hopefully Om will
have a chance to make icons for FlexJS and Falcon. But technically those
don't have to hold up an SDK release.
Some of what I checked in was install script and properties files changes
in the flex-sdk repo so to truly try them out we have to cut another SDK
RC. You can try them out from the nightly though if you build a new
Installer. Unless someone objects, I'll try to cut an Installer RC
tomorrow, just to get that process started. Do I have to use a special
cert for an Installer RC?
And, for the record, the new installer will not show you RC and nightly
builds unless you right-click and choose to see them.
I'd say the Poll about Linux installer is essentially done and we should
make the appropriate changes to the flex-sdk README before cutting the
next RC.
Thoughts?

Hi,
I've just made a RC1 of Apache Flex 4.12.0. It can be found here in a hour or two (how long it take to upload) . [1] Once it's uploaded I change the installer script so it so also get it.
I'm not going to call a VOTE to make this an official release but just want to make sure everything is correct before we make the first real release candidate and VOTE on that.
Can you please:
- Check that file are signed correctly
- Check that you compile the SDK from the source release
- Review the README and RELEASE_NOTES. Is everything up to date?
- Check that the config files are correct
- Check that you can add the SDK in your IDE of choice
- Check that an existing project your are working can use the SDK
- That there are no known regression issues with previous version of the SDK
The more feedback we get the better this release will be.
There's a couple of outstanding things:
- The README does still need some updating
- What versions of the Flash Player / AIR do we want to test this SDK on? Can someone check what versions of we are currently testing against.
- This RC was compiled with Java 7 - is that going to cause any issue for people still using Java 6?

Any changes in release need to be merged back into develop as there where our tests run. IMO our branching is a little pointless, as we only test develop (not the release branch) and have a trunk/master than never been tested and no one builds from.
Changes to TLF don't require merging as such.
Thanks,
Justin

I checked in the bug fixes I was working on. Are you going to do a big
merge at the end or should we merge each change to release4.12.0 to
develop as we go? I'm done for tonight so I'll merge in the morning if
that's the plan.
I'll take a crack at the README and RELEASE_NOTES tomorrow as well.
Also tomorrow, I'll start a series of discussions about the new installer.

Well, given the 'mess' I made of things today, that statement no longer is
true :-) But in 2 full runs from now, the 13/4 combo will get it's turn.

I've updated Jenkins and it's plugins on the Mustella VM, added the new
player versions to the runs and upgraded the logging from jenkins.sh.
The first run of the 'main' suite will be against FP 13 (beta) and the new
AIR 4 (beta).

Have the mustella tests been run on these? I think they have for 12.0 but not sure for 13.0.

A few notes about the README:
"Apache Flex 4.11 is a follow up release to Apache Flex 4.10. "
Should be "Apache Flex 4.12 is a follow up release to Apache Flex 4.11. "
"Building Apache Flex 4.11"
Should be "Building Apache Flex 4.12"
Do we still need Pixel Bender to build the SDK? I thought we are getting
the compiled binary files as part of the build process?
*Install Prerequisites > Section *6)*
We have download urls from 11.2.swc to 11.9.swc. We may want add download

Need to add note about support for 12.0 and 13.0beta

Hi
I feel there's an ambiguity in the release notes, known issues...
*Adobe Flash Builder Integration**
**
**Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 and Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 both contain a bug
where, **
**when generating the .mxml file for a new project that uses Apache Flex
4.10.0 **
**and Spark Application, Flash Builder will incorrectly insert the
attribute:**
**
** layout="absolute"**
**
**This results in a compile error in the new project. The remedy is to
simply**
**remove the errant attribute.**
*
Shouldn't it be "...uses Apache Flex 4.10.0 *or later*" or if it only
affects 4.10, remove the note?
