Please comment on the draft below which tries to implement feedback on the first draft. I'm thinking we should wait to see if Om can find a way to publish the artifacts via NPM or find a non-mirrored URL for the NPM package before we finalize instructions about NPM and send out the announcement.
Thoughts? -Alex ----------- The Apache Royale community is pleased to announce the release of Apache Royale 0.9.0. Apache Royale is a new project that took over the work on what was being called FlexJS, a next-generation of the Apache Flex SDK that enables developers to use MXML and ActionScript to generated HTML/JS/CSS so applications can run natively in browsers. The cross-compiled code can also be used in Apache Cordova (Adobe PhoneGap) mobile applications. (Apache Flex is a highly productive, open source application framework for building and maintaining expressive applications that deploy on Adobe Flash and Adobe AIR to provide a consistent experience on all major browsers, desktops and devices.) This release should be considered ‘beta' quality. The purpose of this release is to gather feedback about the features and implementation strategies, and to recruit new contributors. We hope to grow the code base into an SDK and tool chain that delivers the highest productivity when developing applications that can run on many platforms. Beta releases may not handle production needs. Please file bugs at: https://github.com/apache/royale-asjs/issues If you happen to know it is a compiler issue, please use: https://github.com/apache/royale-compiler/issues For questions about how to use Royale, send email to us...@royale.apache.org.
