Hi, This is vote for the 0.8.0 release of Apache FlexJS.
The release candidate can be found here; https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/flex/flexjs/0.8.0/rc1/ Before voting please review the section,'What are the ASF requirements on approving a release?', at: http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html#approving-a-release At a minimum you would be expected to check that: - MD5 and signed packages are correct - README, RELEASE_NOTES, NOTICE and LICENSE files are all fine - That the build script completes successfully - That you can compile and cross-compile a simple example using the SDK. The source package is set up the same way as the repo. This means that the results of the build are not the same as an IDE-compatible SDK. The compiled source package can be used in combination with the FalconJX source package to compile some of the sample applications. The most convenient way to use the binary package is to install it via Ant or the Installer. To use an Installer you must use InstallApacheFlex version 3.1 or later. You can get InstallApacheFlex here: http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi?path=/flex/installer/3.1/binaries/ Please vote to approve this release: +1 Approve the release -1 Veto the release (please provide specific comments to why) This vote will be open for 72 hours or until a result can be called. The vote passes if there is: - At least 3 +1 votes from the PMC - More positive votes than negative votes Remember that this is a 'beta-quality' release so I expect there will be many bugs found. IMO the goal is not to try to find and fix bugs in the RC, but to make sure we have the packaging right, and enough functionality that folks will have some success trying to use it. People who are not in PMC are also encouraged to test out the release and vote, although their votes will not be binding, they can influence how the PMC votes. When voting please indicate what OS, IDE, Flash Player version and AIR version you tested with. For your convenience, there is an ant script that automates the common steps to validate a release. Instead of individually downloading the package and signature files, unzipping, etc, you can instead: 1) create an empty folder, 2) download into that folder this file: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/flex/flexjs/0.8.0/rc1/ApproveFlexJS. xml 3) run the script: ant -e -f ApproveFlexJS.xml -Drelease.version=0.8.0 -Drc=1 You are not required to use this script, and more testing of the packages and build results are always encouraged. Please put all discussion about this release in the DISCUSSION thread not this VOTE thread. Thanks, Alex Harui
