Subject: Making an new Apache Flex release

Hi,

Develop and trunk are drifting further apart and we have a fair number of bug 
fixes, support for newer version of AIR and FP, some new experimental 
components, so probably about time we started thinking about a release. The 
longer we leave it the harder it will be to make a release. So who can help me 
out here?

There a few things that need to be fixed up before we can make a release. Can 
anyone put up their hand to try and fix these?
- Get Jenkin/CI back up and working with Git - not essential but give up some 
confidence that things are still working.
- Fix build issues re TLF and move to Git
- Look into issue with list selection tesst failing (selection colour 
difference in bitmaps)
- Fix a few missing headers (dead simple!)
- Does anyone know what state the components in the experimental project are? I 
have no idea if any of these are in a releasable state or not.
- Make sure all mustella test run on OS, windows and mobile (now that mobile 
tests work) with flash player 11.1 and 11.7 and AIR 3.7
- What state are the mustella AIR tests in?
- Add linux as an officially supported platform for this release. 

Is there anything else we would like to see in a release?

Do we have any committers or non committers with Linux experience who would 
like to see this happen? There's is probably only a small amount of work 
required to officially supporting Linux.

There are also a number of critical and major JIRA issues that have been raised 
over the last few months (including some of the issues above) that it would be 
nice to try and fix before a release.

Here's the blocker and critical ones (12 issues):
https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?filter=12323979

And those plus major ones (158 issues):
https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?filter=12323978

Is any existing committer or non committer willing to help out and try and fix 
one or two of the above bugs? Almost all of this issues are unassigned.

Thanks,
Justin
