---------- Apache Flex is an application framework for easily building Flash-based applications for mobile devices, the browser and desktop. RELEASES -Apache Flex Installer 3.2.0 was also released on 6/23/15. -Apache Flex BlazeDS 4.7.1 was released on 8/6/15. -Apache Flex SDK 4.14.1 was released on 3/30/15. -Apache Flex Tour De Flex Component Explorer 1.2 was released on 11/28/14. -Apache Flex Tool API 1.0.0 was released on 11/20/14 -Apache Flex Squiggly 1.1 was released on 10/26/14 -Apache FlexJS 0.0.2 was released on 7/17/14. -Apache Flex FalconJX 0.0.2 was released on 7/17/14. ACTIVITY The past three months saw continued activity related to FlexJS, a version of Flex that is independent from the Adobe Flash Platform. Some interesting new features were added, such as integration with the IntelliJ IDE and the ability to write low-level JavaScript applications in ActionScript. Stabilizing the code for release has taken longer than expected, but I expect the vote to start in September. Another distraction was responding to a CVE that resulted in the BlazeDS 4.7.1 release. Meanwhile, there is activity around various bug fixes to other Apache Flex releases and better Maven integration. COMMUNITY -Joseph Labrecque was added as a committer. -A vote is about to start on a new PMC member. -Latest analytics include a little less than 2000 hits per day on the website during the work week (less on weekends). -There were more than 6000 installs of Apache Flex 4.14.1 since its release about two months ago. -Almost 60,000 people have run the Tour De Flex application. Tour De Flex is a set of examples folks use to learn how to develop Flex applications. TRADEMARKS -We discovered that yet another apacheflex.com site has been created. The last time (September 2013) it was resolved easily, but I guess someone else grabbed and is now using it. An email was sent, but no response. What should we do next?
