+<p>The Apache Flex team is currently testing a release candidate for Apache Flex 4.8.0. Apache Flex 4.8.0 will be a "parity" release with Adobe Flex 4.6.0. We are essentially testing our processes to make sure we can produce a build that allows you to continue to use all the cool features of the Flex Framework, under the new Apache license. Future builds will implement bug fixes, new features and new components. <a href="http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/flex/trunk/README?view=co">Check out the README on our SVN</a> to see how to grab this new testing build yourself.</p>

+<p>Trademark issues have been largely cleared up. The Flex trademark is just waiting on some procedural dance to happen before all the trademark issues have been resolved.</p>

+<p>Our bug-tracking / issue-tracking system (JIRA) now has all of issues from the Adobe bug tracker. This will allow us to continue to work on any issues you may have reported to Adobe as of January 30th, 2012.</p>

+<li>
+<p>Issue attachments to include SDK, DMV, and Automation bugs up until about January 30, 2012.</p>

+<p>The Mustella test suite has been donated and a few tests have been written (check-in tests as well as a few component tests). More tests are forthcoming but we now have the ability to do some limited testing for bad code. Adobe has been running our trunk code against their tests (including those that they cannot legally donate) and has been reporting the results to us.</p>

+<p>For those of you that wish to compile the compiler, framework code, etc., the ANT-based compiles have re-engineered to make it extremely easy for you to get started. Check out the README file and the related env.properties.template file for the information required to get started.</p>

+<p>A group of contributors are working to make it easy to download and compile the framework to be used with many of the major IDEs (including Flash Builder and IntelliJ). They are using an AIR/Flex application that will download all the required components for you and set them up in the proper directory so you donât have to track down all the required pieces and parts. <a href="http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/flex/utilities/InstallApacheFlex/">Check it out here</a></p>

It will take place in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA on October 22 â 23, during the week that Adobe MAX 2012 was supposed to occur. 360|MIN is a barcamp-style gathering that will feature many of the contributors from Apache Flex.<br />

<p>The Apache Flex Project has received the entire Flex Framework. This includes all components that were completed in Adobeâs 4.6.0 release and a few others. Essentially if you take the existing compiler to the frameworks code, you would get what amounts to the current Adobe release.</p>

<p>Apache committers have begun donating various components to the framework, including an FXGImage component, some collections classes, some major work around validation, busy indicators for non-mobile components, and some navigators. These components have not been integrated into the trunk (the main project), but you should expect to see some of them in the future.</p>
