[VOTE] Release Apache Flex 4.8.0 - RC3 - build number 1359417 (and Flex has been trademark signed off by Adobe for donation to Apache)

Hi,

This is a parity release with Adobe Flex 4.6.0.

The Adobe donation of the Flex trademark was signed off by Adobe on July 4th - Independence Day!  Now is the time to download this kit, test it out and vote on it's release.  I'd like to get a minimum of 10 positive votes but more would be great.

The official Apache distribution is the source kit which can contain only source.
Because of this requirement, and various licensing constraints, there are a few differences.

Please see the RELEASE_NOTES and the README.

Distributions:
http://people.apache.org/~cframpton/ApacheFlexRC/release_candidate_3/<http://people.apache.org/~cframpton/ApacheFlexRC/release_candidate_2/>

Fixes from Release Candidate 2 (build 1358354):
fix copylocale for both the bin and source packages
makeApacheFlexForFlashBuilder now assumes it is in the Flex SDK and doesn't download it (source kit must be built first)

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

Please vote to approve this release:

[ ] +1 Approve the release
[ ] -1 Veto the release (please provide specific comments)

This vote will be open for at least 72 hours.

Carol

Carlos,

There are some descriptor files that need to be created for Flash Builder
to "see" the SDK, yet are not created during the compile process.
(flex-sdk-description.xml I believe?).

You need to either create these by hand, or use the
makeApacheFlexForFlashBuilder tool that has been talked about in these
threads to create the file for you.

Hi Carol,

yesterday I test RC2 and I get a "build successful" from ant in
construction. Then I tried to add in Flash Builder flex sdks dialog. But Fb
reported me that the sdk was not a flex sdk. Is something normal? have you
or someone test the SDK with  some tool? maybe some of the fixes in RC3
will make this work?

thanks in advance for your help

Best,

Carlos

The compile went off without a hitch.  My apps compiled, and the AIR 3.3
apps I've been pushing out seem to be good as well.  Functional Tests
showing everything I'm testing for is within tolerance of being the same as
4.6.0,

Great job!

Hi,

Minor issue I think. There's a duplication of the asDocs zip file in the root directory and the docs directory.

Congrats on the Flex has been trademark signed off! I never thought that would happen :-)

Did you follow the steps in the "Using the Binary Distribution" in the
README?
You must download the thirdparty dependencies.  At a minimum you need TLF
(textLayout.swc) and OSMF (osmf.swc).

I spent several hours on this one.  Yesterday, I could get into situations
were I didn't get content assist.  I thought I had the case narrowed down
and then when I went to test one last time content assist was working.
This morning I created a new workspace and tried sdks that I built for
FlashBuilder from both the flex source kit and the flex binary kit.  I got
content assist in both cases.  I tried the same with the FB7 pre-release I
have and I also got content assist in both cases.  If you can come up with
a scenario that I can reproduce then I can look into it but at this point
I haven't found anything to fix.

Hi,

I downloaded the RC3 binary and  compiled a mobile app, couple of things
cropped up.

* Missing textLayout.swc ... I had to pull in the swc from the Adobe 4.6
sdk to compile as we use the flashx. textLayout package.
* Flash builder fails to recognise flash.* packages for the purposes of
IDE help / auto completion .. though they must be there as it compiles
fine.
* For some reason I get lots of ... "warning: incompatible embedded font
'Helvetica' specified for spark.components::Label (Label70) . This
component requires that the embedded font be declared with
embedAsCFF=true." ... and which messes with the fonts,  which I don't
get when using 4.6.

But otherwise it compiled and ran... happy days.

All this done with Air 3.3 and with ANEs.

Jason :)

I haven't noticed the same, but I have been compiling all my mobile apps
against AIR 3.3 due to some issues I ran across with 3.1 in regards to some
critical ANEs I've been using...

Carol and Alex,

Will it still work with the build tools if we made this a CS5.5 style FLA instead? If so, that version is basically a zip file which could be provided exploded and zipped/renamed during the build.

We can make this clearer on the website when we post the builds as well.
 We can also put the notes about the required external dependencies that
are required so that people note those when they download the build.

I would argue it should be run against the package in case the build script
packages something it shouldn't.  Also, I thought we could release subsets
of the source tree.  Once we put in the mustella tests, there could be more
FLA files in the tree that we wouldn't put in the package that would be used
to test integration with Flash Pro.

I think this should point to a standalone debugger (aka Projector Content
Debugger).  I have mine pointing to the one in an Adobe Flex SDK I have.  I
think it is a zip file on the Adobe site and you can put it somewhere.

The reason I ran it against the package is that not all the source is in
the package, or at least when I started, not all the source was in the
package because not all the source was "source".  I think we've clean
everything up now so we could just do an svn export and put everything in
the zip/tar.  That is something I would change for next time.

I understand the frustration.  We'll have to see if we can get better at
it.  Many of us have several versions for development so we know exactly
where they are.

Yes, very ugly.  Because we have changes in the old version of Batik and
Velocity it isn't easy to upgrade - that's the reason we had to fork them.

(1) I've checked the signatures and md5.

(2) I wanted to run the rat report from the src package but needed to change the build.xml:

I don't think the rat report should be run against a package - it should be run against the source tree directly.

The rat report then reports as expected.

There are good examples for some of this, but I really am having trouble finding where Adobe installed one components on my Mac.

So I cannot properly set env.FLASHPLAYER_DEBUGGER

I don't think a FLA can harm your system.  If you open it in Flash Pro, it
will just sit there.  I don't know of any way to have it execute a startup
script (which I don't think is necessarily true for an MS Word file).

I assume we aren't worried about an attack on folks who double-click to open
a file?

Now if you generate the SWF from the FLA file and run it, it could do some
damage, but I assume we expect someone to introspect the project before just
running it?

What I meant is: how can a user be assured that that FLA, as binary
file, won't harm their system or contain a trojan or something like
that. Any developer who knows the language can check such things on
source code, whereas it's much harder for binaries - so how about that
particular file?

All other options in Om's tool are about things not owned by Apache Flex.
Apache Flex owns this FLA.  The FLA is put into an add-on/plug-in for Flash
Pro by the build script.

I can imagine a future where we want to provide examples/templates for other
graphical tools to supply components and assets to Flex, like PhotoShop,
Illustrator and potentially other non-Adobe drawing tools.  Yes, we could
have these as extras outside the source distribution, but I would want them
to be in the main distribution so folks don't have to go through a second
step to get them.

For AOO and POI the included .DOC files are clearly test documents that are used by the test suites to confirm functionality. Users will need to trust that these are all suitable for that use. It is possible for POI (not sure about AOO) that some of these files may be examples of those that are badly formed and their purpose is to check security.

The purpose of the FLA is to show a user how to work in Flash Pro? If so, that's a bit different. Let's see if it really becomes an issue.

It is optional, only those wishing to create components for Flex via Flash

Maybe I don't understand what it means to validate.  If you open the FLA in
Flash Pro you can see what is in it.  How does one validate the .DOC files

AOO provides *.doc files in several test directories within its source release. No one has told us (with my AOO PPMC hat) that is wrong. They are all clearly test files.

Apache POI does the same as well. Again these are in clear test-data directories (with Apache POI PMC hat).

In both projects the *.doc files are optional and used for testing.

Quoting Bertrand - "If there's a reasonable way to
validate that particular fla, and it's only optional and not required
to use Apache Flex anyway, it can probably stay in the release IMO,
but Incubator PMC members might think differently."

Is there a reasonable way to for a user to validate this FLA?

You can open the file using Adobe Flash Pro as it is a project/source file.

In general, how does any project provide examples and libraries intended for
other applications?  Can Apache Open Office provide a MS Word .DOC file to
show that it can be handled by AOO?

The "Software Dependencies" section of the README is my attempt to
document this.
I identify each dependency and what license applies to each.

+1 for the RC3 release, see below for details of what I checked.

I haven't tried building, as an incubation mentor I don't care about
the technical quality of the release, I'll trust Flex PPMC members to
check that.

Open questions that do not affect my vote for this first release:

1) I understand Flex requires a number of external dependencies to
build, do we have an exact list somewhere to establish that the
licenses of all required and optional dependencies are compatible? The
requirements are slightly different for required and optional, see
http://apache.org/legal/resolved.html

2) I don't think my question about how
./frameworks/projects/flash-integration/FLA/ContentHolder.fla can be
proven harmless [1] has been answered.

Thanks for preparing the release!

Here's what I checked:
Checked only the *-src-* files, not what's under binaries or docs at
http://people.apache.org/~cframpton/ApacheFlexRC/release_candidate_3/

MD5 (apache-flex-sdk-4.8.0-incubating-src.tar.gz) =

MD5 (apache-flex-sdk-4.8.0-incubating-src.zip) =
0ad59abd7703fcbfc8a3ad9f51c9bd9e

Signatures and digests match, release manager(s) should get their key
signed at the next opportunity.

The contents of the .zip and .tar.gz archives are identical (with an
extra apache-flex-sdk-4.8.0-incubating-src path in the tar.gz file,
not a problem).

DISCLAIMER, LICENSE, NOTICE are present, contents look good to me.

The rat exclusions in build.xml look ok, rat report attached to
FLEX-33132 looks good to me.

That's correct, but I believe copylocale is modified to tolerate that in
RC3.

If you have the source package I think you need to build the "doc" tag to
get that directory created.

Try "ant doc" from the top-level or just from the airspark directory if
you want to see if it is created.

I downloaded both kits again to make really sure. There is no en_US folder
in airspark in any of them.

Are you sure you downloaded RC3 rather than RC2?  I had a bad link in my

Sorry to jump in late guys.

I downloaded the src package and ran ant main. This went well.

However, when running copylocale.bat en_US nl_BE it fails
with \frameworks\projects\airspark\bundles\en_US" does not exist

The en_US is indeed not in the zip that I downloaded.

-1 (binding) unless I'm missing something here.

Posted by Justin Mclean <ju...@classsoftware.com>.

Hi,

I downloaded/installed the SDK - this time using the IDE packager (from SVN) and was able to compile and run application for iPhone, iPad and Android with no issues.

It possible that the SDK I was using didn't have the AIR SDK as the URL were broken at some point. If I get some time I'll take a look over the weekend.

Thanks,
Justin

BTW The IDE packager compiles (to a dmg) installs and run fine on a Mac.

***Last call****.  Please install the kit, test it out, and report any
problems immediately.  I hope to wrap this up tomorrow which for me is EDT
(or UTC/GMT -4 hours).

So far we've gotten 3 +1 binding votes (Nick Kwiatkowski, Michael
Labriola, Peter Elst) and 5 non-binding +1 votes.  I'd love to see more
people voting.

Distribution:

http://people.apache.org/~cframpton/ApacheFlexRC/release_candidate_3/

Don't forget that you need to download the thirdparty-downloads to get a
complete Flex kit.  See the README

I'm not sure how the Distributions link came to look like it does but the
2nd part is incorrect.  Please make sure you are voting on Release
Candidate 3 not Release Candidate 2.

The correct link is:

http://people.apache.org/~cframpton/ApacheFlexRC/release_candidate_3/

A friendly reminder:

Before voting +1 PMC members are required to download the signed source
code package, compile it as provided, and test the resulting executable on
their own platform, along with also verifying that the package contains
the required contents
