[DRAFT][ANNOUNCE] Apache Royale 0.9.6 released!

[Piotr Zarzycki <pi...@gmail.com>]

Hi Guys,

Below draft of our announcement. I made also draft of the release on
GitHub. [1] I will wait 48h before I send it to announce. I think there is
one more place where I need to update in whimsy - can someone remember me
where it was ?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Apache Royale community is pleased to announce the release of Apache
Royale 0.9.6.

The Apache Royale project is developing a next-generation of the Apache
Flex SDK. Royale has the goal of allowing applications developed in MXML
and ActionScript to not only run in the Flash/AIR runtimes, but also to run
natively in the browser without Flash, on mobile devices as a
PhoneGap/Cordova application, and in embedded JS environments such as
Chromium Embedded Framework. Royale has the potential to allow your MXML
and ActionScript code to run in even more places than Flash currently does.

This release should be considered ‘beta' quality. The purpose of this
release is to gather feedback about the features and implementation
strategies, and to recruit new contributors. We hope to grow the code base
into an SDK and tool chain that delivers the highest productivity when
developing applications that can run on many platforms. Beta releases may
not handle production needs.
