Apache Flex 4.10 release

Hi,

About time we got this release out the door! If there's no one that going to step forward and fix some of the outstanding issue we'll should just release with out them, what we currently have in the develop branch is significantly better than the 4.9 release so lets get it out there so people can use it.

To start the process off I've updated the README and RELEASE_NOTE (a little more work is required) and created a release branch "release4.10.0", who's willing to help out?

Thanks,
Justin

Well, in addition to that excellent reason (and a "good" reason for me
to attend me some of those), I seem to be having a bad coding day.
Basically nothing I've done today is working :-(

Justin, please go ahead and publish your files.

Thanks,

Hi,

>> Erik is working on getting the Mac binaries as we speak.

I have one compiled if you're having any issues and can submit that.

Only reason we might consider it it that I think the web of trust with my Apache digital signature is little larger (having gone to 2 ApacheCon/key signing parties).

If there any easy way to get multiple people to sign a release?

For flex-utilities, we cut releases directly from the develop branch (since
it is low traffic)  We will create a tag once we settle on a golden RC.

Is anyone trying to build the Linux version (remembering to target AIR 
2.6) ?
I didn't get a chance to try this myself last night, hopefully will get 
to try again later though. I should now switch to the release branch 
from develop for the flex-utilities project, right ?

Thanks for the note, Laurent.  I think once Justin pushes a new build of
the Mac installer .dmg file (hopefully in a few hours), this issue should
be fixed.

the installer
  - installed ok.
  - installed the 4.10.0 SDK RC plenty fine.

compiled one of our bread & butter apps (big & complex) w/the 4.10.0 SDK, worked 
fine. ran a few quick tests against the app, looked a-ok. i'll do more testing 
in the morning. but i'm a happy camper so far.

Quick update:  I have added the ability to interactively select the Flex
version from the Installer.  Now we can select nightly build from the
Apache build server as well.  Plus a few all-round bug fixes.

The Installer 2.6 RC1 is up on the dist site (source + windows binaries)
 Erik is working on getting the Mac binaries as we speak.

I am heading off to sleep now, Erik will take over from here :-)

Hi,

I've stuck a OSX compiled installer to help test out the 4.10 release here:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/flex/installer/2.6/rc1/binaries/

It uses the config file from here (which points at the Apache Flex 4.10.0 RC1 release) 
http://flex.apache.org/installer/sdk-installer-config-3.0-rc1.xml

Hope that helps a few people test it out a little more.

Anyone create a windows one for me and put it in the same spot? I mage a single line change to point at the rc1 config file.

private var configOverride:String = "http://flex.apache.org/installer/sdk-installer-config-3.0-rc1.xml";

Justin

I hear you.  Even I cant install the SDK without the Installer :-) The
Installer will be ready shortly.  Erik and I will be putting up an RC1
soon.

i hate to say it but for someone like me having an installer to setup the SDK 
for testing would make it much easier. worked myself into a tizzy trying to get 
my dev environment squared away (JDK vs plain JRE, 32 vs 64 bit JDKs, figuring 
out that i needed ant & getting it installed, blah blah blah--and its still not 
quite right, trying again in the morning).

what's probably simple & obvious to you guys, isn't to me. while i'm glad i'm 
being forced to learn this, i imagine you'd get more/faster help testing SDK 
releases if they were released w/big O's installer.

Mind that the build machine is offline, so the latest 'nightly' is of
about 4 days ago and is from the 'develop' branch.

Does it make sense that when (if?) the build machine comes back online
I create an RC job that builds from the 'release4.10.0' branch -
nightly and/or when a commit happens?

I tried installer 2.6.0 rc1 and installed Flex SDK 4.10.0 RC1 with AIR 
SDK 3.7 and playerglobal 11.7. I see no problems with code highlighting

In order to do that, that's what is needed to be done on the Installer as I 
see it:

- Check the machine on which the SDK will be installed has Java and Maven 
installed and show an option of installing a Mavenized version.
- Ask the user if he wants a local or remote deployment (for remote, he need 
to have its maven settings xml ready and be granted)
- Either compile the Mavenizer/Deployer on the client or have a released 
version ready to download.
- Harmonized the Installer directory structure of the downloaded stuffs with 
the one used by the Mavenizer in order to be able to mavenize the SDK on 
it's computer.
- Launch the Mavenizer/Deployer accordingly.

It's not a 5mn work.

At the moment, you can do all of that with the Mavenizer/Deployer, the 
source directory of the SDKs (Air/Flex) is particular to this tool, look 
closely at the readme.

Do you think it's possible to add a feature to the SDK Installer so that it
can also deploy FDK into Sonatype Nexus server? Thanks. -Gary

Hi,

Yep fixed.

Adobe is taking its time in getting out AIR 3.8, it's normally released the same time as Flash Player, 11.8 was released a week ago now.

We need to look into that - please report back.

Justin,

On Win7, x64, JDK 1.7

Things you already know :
 - RAT runs fine
 - checkin tests run fine
 - Mustella runs fine

My tests :
 - My mobile apps compile and test fine.
 - A few spot-checks of previously known bugs are now corrected
 - Desktop apps compile fine.

Failures :
 - IDE scripts are missing (I see you just committed those to the repo)
 - IDE scripts in the repo are not pointing to the correct URL for the AIR
SDK for Windows (I get a 404 error on that URL).
 - IntelliJ is giving me an invalid namespace error for this build
(binaries).  I'm trying to track that down to see what is causing it.

I still need to pick over the readme and release notes... I ran out of time
last night.

-Nick

I believe so but as I said I don't use Maven, others on the list do use it and can get it working with Apache Flex.

Thanks,

I would have to say this is the worst hit for Flex popularity, Is it
possible to get around it or to make it easier?

The short answer is no,  it's not in a publicly assessable repository due to 3rd party license restrictions.

However you can use the mavenizer tool to use it inhouse. For more info about that read at the bottom of this page.

(I don't use maven so there other people on the list that can give you a more detailed answer if you need).

Re: Apache Flex 4.10 release

I've added some code to the VM's Jenkins script: there is now a loop
running that alternates between a full suite (main, AIR and mobile)
run with FP 11.1 and AIR 3.7 and one that runs with FP 11.7 and AIR
3.7.

All combinations and sequences are now possible, let me know if you
want this set up differently.

I'm working on getting the VM cycle through the various version
combinations. So, first run, it'll test 11.1 and 3.7, for all suites
and the next run it'll do 11.8 and 3.8, then back to 11.1 and 3.7 etc.
etc.

Everyone: please let me 'have' the VM today so I can set this up, thanks.

Can we have both baseline for 11.1 and 11.8 at the same time I'm sure sure it's set up like that?

First step is to see how many tests fail I guess - if it only a few and only bitmap failure then that might be good enough for the release?

Re: Apache Flex 4.10 release

Justin,

I'm here and have some time. If you don't have any pressing stuff that
you need help with, I'll be adding functionality to the Mustella VM
that will allow it to test all suites against both the baseline (11.1
and 3.7) and bleeding edge (11.8 and 3.8). Alex tells me that the
latter will require some fixing of failing bitmap comparisons, but
we'll deal with that when it's all set up.

Thanks for the link.

Btw, i'm concerned about accidentally importing the wrong component and 
spending hours trying to work out why it isn't acting correctly (the 
experimental Callout is not compatible with the existing one) rather 
than the size increase.

Some nice sdk changes - i can see a few of those being very handy (eg: 
ButtonBar button disabling). Can you put up a link to the outstanding 
issues? (probably for 100th time, sorry)

Are the experimental components included in the sdk by default? Either 
via standard build.xml or the installer? I ask because i notice that 
experimental component "spark.components.CallOut" has a similar name to 
the existing mobile component "spark.components.Callout" (same for 
CallOutButton and CallOutPosition classes). I can see that causing no 
end of problems with uncertain typists.
