from experience it's best to stick with a specific version of a library. Regression bugs will be introduced at some point, and having to figure out that it's because you have no control over a specific library is a giant PITA. Flex SDK 14.X for example has a terrible regression bug using TextLayoutFramework with large amounts of text and changing/decorating that text. In our case we color portions of text documents. Flex 14.X is completely unusable for us. Thank god the Apache Flex Installer allows us to specify exactly what flex sdk to use instead of just using the most updated. ~ JT

Since we already downloading it right now, it's as simple as just postponing the change. -Mark On Thu, Jul 30, 2015 at 1:26 PM, Alex Harui <aha...@adobe.com> wrote: > > > On 7/30/15, 10:06 AM, "Kessler CTR Mark J" <mark.kessler....@usmc.mil> > wrote: > > >So we have two schools of thought on it. > > > >Option 1.
