[VOTE] Apache Flex SDK 4.12.1 RC2

Hi,

This is a  Apache Flex 4.12.1 release candidate 2. Please see the
RELEASE_NOTES and the README.

There is a known bug in Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 and 4.7 that causes a
issue when creating new applications.
Adobe has provided a work around for FB 4.7 but not for 4.6.

The release candidate can be found here;
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/flex/sdk/4.12.1/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

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

When testing please check the md5 and asc files and make sure that the
source can be compiled.

Please vote to approve this release:
+1 Approve the release
-1 Veto 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,
Alex

Hi,

+1 (binding)

Signatures all good
LICENCE, NOTICE, README etc all good
Can compile from source (with a couple of minor issues - see discussion)
Can make release (also has some minor issues)
XML config files are correct (if you do a ant release rather than just an ant)
compc/mxmlc report correct versions (once made executable)
Tried out a large desktop project and no obvious issue.

Tested on OSX and in FB.

Thanks,
Justin

Win7 64 - FR - Java 1.6

Checked MD5 => OK

Manual build of SDK from source  => OK ( rsls are ok)

Tested SDK in FB 4.7 on large desktop Flex app => OK
Tested SDK in IDEA 13.1 on small mobile AIR app => OK

______

One minor issue in the release notes: 
FLEX-33948  Add touch behaviour to spark DropDownList classes
=> the ticket is still open.  implementation attempts were not satisfactory, and have not been committed.

Also, I find that the release notes do not describe accurately enough what's in the release (eg. extended queries), and going to JIRA to understand what was done isn't better.
I suggest that we add a page (either in the web site or in the wiki) to describe in detail the various features.
What do you think?
