+
+The Apache Royale community is pleased to announce the release of **Apache
Royale 0.9.12**.
+
+The Apache Royale project is the next generation of the Apache Flex SDK. It
lets developers use **MXML** and **ActionScript 3** to generate **HTML/JS/CSS**
applications which can run natively in web browsers. The cross-compiled code
can also run on platforms like **Electron** or **Apache Cordova** to build
desktop or mobile applications.
+
+This release should be considered 'beta' quality, although _we're very close
to a 1.0 release_ and _we have many applications in production_ at this point.
The purpose of this release is to continue to gather feedback about Royale's
features and the project's 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, [...]
+
+## Changes in 0.9.12:
+
+### Apache Royale Framework 0.9.12
+
+- Basic
+ - Make shift click aware of the first selection in
`ListMultiSelectionMouseController`.
+ - Added `ReusableDataItemRendererFactoryForCollectionView` for reusable item
renderers.
+ - Fixed exception in `StyleInheritanceWithObserverBead` due to attempting to
set style inheritance on non-element (e.g. Text) descendant nodes under the
strand.
+ - `ContainerView` Checks the type on adding to strand and not on every
`contentView` access
+ - Optimized closing tree nodes.
+
+- Core
+ - Added `removeDynamicSelector` method. Removes a CSS selector dynamically
at runtime.
+ - Added support for native `PointerEvent`.
+ - Added `toDecimals` utility method.
+ - Fixed "click" not being converted to Royale `MouseEvent`.
+
+- Graphics
+ - Fixed `PathBuilder` using out of range radius values when drawing rounded
rectangles.
+
+- Icons
+ - Added `FontAwesome6IconType` with Font Awesome 6 icons.
+ - Added new icons to `MaterialIconType` and `FontAwesome5IconType`.
+
+- Jewel
+ - Added `RestrictRegExp` bead, which is essentially a copy of Restrict, but
with RegExp property.
+ - Added `RestrictValidator` for validation based on StringValidator
capabilities and RegExp pattern.
+ - Added ability to dynamically assign `itemRenderer` to `DataGridColumn`
+ - Added ability to extend and override `SnackbarView` in `Snackbar`.
+ - Added `ComboBoxListWidth` bead to set ComboBox List width.
+ - Fixed issue in `DateChooser` where next/previous buttons without text
setup property were sized incorrectly.
+ - Fixed font size alignment in `RadioButton`.
+
+- MXRoyaleBase
+ - Added missing `mx.messaging.Producer` to MXML manifest.
+ - Ensure that `SecureHTTPChannel`, `AMFChannel`, and `SecureAMFChannel` are
included in SWC.
+
+- MXRoyale
+ - Added event when tool tip changes.
+ - Fixed tooltip getting created twice.
+ - Fixed `Bitmap` class for embedding compatibility with Flex.
+
+- Network
+ - Added `execute()` method to `HttpRequestTask`.
+ - Fixed creation of loader in `HttpRequestTask`.
+ - Fixed `BinaryUploader` POST data sent to server.
+ - Made response headers accessible from `URLBinaryLoader` and `URLStream`.
+
+- XML
+ - Improve performance of getting descendants.
+ - Added index to XMLList prototype instead of instances to prevent GC
thrashing.
+
+- Fixed broken download locations for _playerglobal.swc_ and Adobe AIR SDK in
_InstallAdobeSDKs.xml_ script.
+- Compiler and command line tools now require Java 11 or newer to run.
+- Dozens of bugs reported, investigated, and squashed. For details of closed
bug reports see [GitHub Issues
list](https://github.com/apache/royale-asjs/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed).
+
+### Apache Royale Compiler 0.9.12
+
+- compiler: Added new `--infer-types` compiler option that allows the compiler
to automatically detect an appropriate type for both variables and function
signatures that have omitted their declared types. Type inference is based on
either the initializer or return values.
+- compiler: Abstract classes now support abstract getter and setter methods.
+- compiler: Added `--strict-flex-css` compiler option to optionally enable CSS
syntax limitations that match Flex.
+- compiler: Improved type checking for `&&` and `||` binary operators and `?:`
ternary operator.
+- compiler: Removed obsolete "AMD" and "Goog" JavaScript backends, and
finished some refactoring to make codebase easier to maintain.
+- compiler: Now requires Java 11 or newer to run. Previously required Java 8
minimum.
+- compiler: Updated various Java dependencies with security updates.
+- compiler: Fixed some Flex SDK integration tests that had been failing for a
while.
+- compiler: Fix parsing of `<arguments>` or `<request>` properties for
`RemoteObject`, `WebService`, or `HTTPService` tags in MXML.

+- compiler: Fix column position of string inside metadata.
+- compiler: Fix exception when an event attribute in MXML is missing `=` and
quotes.
+- compiler: Fix unnecessary warning when reading SWF data that contains
`EnableTelemetry` tag without a password.
+- compiler: Fix backslash as an escape character for `{` and `}` inside MXML
data binding.
+- compiler: Fix backslash characters being unescaped in property values when
emitting JavaScript.
+- compiler: Fix overflow exception caused by `uint` values that overflowed an
integer in the compiler.
+- compiler: Fix incorrect error or warning positions for CSS content inside
`<fx:Style>` tag.
+- compiler: Fix non-string values in an MXML array sometimes getting
incorrectly wrapped in quotes when emitting JavaScript.
+- compiler: Fix null exception for `<fx:Style>` tags that contain only
comments.
+- compiler: Fix exceptions for `<fx:Style>` tags and _defaults.css_ files that
contain invalid CSS.
+- compiler: Fix silently ignoring errors in some invalid CSS content, if it
appears at the end after valid content.
+- compiler: Fix crash when attempting to use `--remove-circulars=false` with a
release build.
+- compiler: Added CSS support for modern syntax without commas in `rgb` and
`rgba` functions.
+- compiler: Added CSS support for `radial-gradient`, `conic-gradient`, and
repeating gradient functions in JS.
+- compiler: Added CSS support for several translate, rotate, scale, skew, and
matrix transformation functions in JS.

and using `var` function in JS.
+- compiler: Fix crash when `[Style]` is of type `Object` and value is passed
in MXML.
+- compiler: Fix null pointer exception when omitting quoted `<fx:Style>` value
for `source` attribute.
+- compiler: Fix null pointer exception when omitting quoted `<fx:Binding>`
value for `source`, `destination`, and `twoWay` attributes.
+- compiler: Fix null pointer exception when omitting quoted `<fx:Vector>`
value for `fixed`, and `type` attributes.
+- compiler: Fix missing problem for invalid `twoWay` value for `<fx:Binding>`
tag.
+- compiler: Fix exception for unexpected attributes added to `<fx:Array>` and
`<fx:Vector>` tags.
+- compiler: Changed to better problem message when MXML `implements` attribute
is empty.
+- compiler: Fix exception when assigning to a property that has a getter, but
not a setter.
+- compiler: Fix exception when working with certain namespace expressions.
+- compiler: Fix configuration problems not being reported when compc options
are passed to mxmlc.
+- compiler: Fix source maps for fields and methods in the private namespace or
custom namespaces.
