[Justin Mclean <ju...@classsoftware.com>]

Hi,

This is a  Apache Flex 4.16 release candidate 1. Please see the
RELEASE_NOTES and the README.

The release candidate can be found here;
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/flex/sdk/4.16.0/rc1/ <https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/flex/sdk/4.16.0/rc1/>

Before voting please review the section,"What are the ASF requirements on
approving a release?", at:
http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html#approving-a-release <http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html#approving-a-release>

At a minimum you would be expected to check that:
- MD5 and signed packages are correct
- README, RELEASE_NOTES, NOTICE and LICENSE files are all fine
- That you can compile from source package
- That the SDK can be used in your IDE of choice
- That the SDK can be used to make a mobile, desktop and browser
application

Please vote to approve this release:
+1 Approve the release
-1 Don’t approve the release (please provide specific comments to why)

This vote will be open for 72 hours or until a result can be called.

The vote passes if there is:
- At least 3 +1 votes from the PMC
- More positive votes than negative votes

If you find an issue with the release that's a "show stopper" please don't
hold off voting -1. If someone votes -1 please continue testing we want to
try and catch as many issues as we can and cut down on the number of
release candidates. Remember existing voters can change their vote during
the voting process.

People who are not in PMC are also encouraged to test out the release and
vote, although their votes will not be binding, they can influence how the
PMC votes.

When voting please indicate what OS, IDE, Flash Player version and AIR
version you tested the SDK with.

Please put all discussion about this release in the DISCUSSION thread not
this VOTE thread.

Thanks,
Justin

Hi.

Thanks for voting but it we’re already working on the next RC.

> I see a very noticeable show-stopper bug with the all (spark) DropDownLists.

Yep it’s been noticed and has been fixed in the 4.16 release branch.

There are however a couple of other potential regression issue that need to be looked into before we can make a new RC.

> Also, minor: In README it doesn't say we support AIR 24. Do we not?

It’s in the RELEASE_NOTES, but thanks for pointing it out.

Thanks,
Justin

-1
md5 ok, but when I compile our application (currently deployed with
4.15) I see a very noticeable show-stopper bug with the all (spark)
DropDownLists. Please see this screenshot [1] for the differences
(same codebase, just different SDKs). The show-stopping part of the
bug is that when I select anything from the list, the label either
becomes "1" (no matter what I've chosen" or remains empty.

Also, minor: In README it doesn't say we support AIR 24. Do we not?

(We can continue the discussion of this bug in the discuss thread)
