Hi,

It does but it won’t currently default to the required one for the installer.

Probably best to add to README and currently most people following those 
instructions would be unable to compile the installer.

See under "How to build the installer using ANT”, adding which version of Flex 
SDK is required and/or stating that the FLEX SDK also needs AIR 4.0 would help.

The steps under "How to set up the project for working with Adobe Flash Builder 
4.7” and "How to set up the project for working with JetBrains IDEA 12+" are 
also probably a little broken as they don’t mention the new libraries, but I’ve 
not tried following those instructions.

In order to vote +1 you need to be able to compile the application from source 
following the given instructions, the instructions have room for improvements.

The previous RC didn’t compile so I (and I presume others) were unable to test 
this.

In order to be a valid release it need to follow this ([1]), note the "compile 
it as provided”, if I can’t compile as provided I not able to vote +1.

"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 meets the requirements of 
the ASF policy on releases."

Thanks,
