The release is not perfect, but it’s a definite improvement and long overdue. I’m voting +1 to get the release out, and we should follow up with the issues that were discovered before the next release. More notes: * I was able to use the release to correctly build a complex app. * There are issues with URLs including http instead of https and references to royale.codeoscopic.com <http://royale.codeoscopic.com/>. I fixed this in the develop branch and I don’t think it’s significant enough to delay the release. * I fixed the small typo that Chris mention in the RELEASE notes in develop as well. * We should use an apache email address for the signature for the next release (should be me), but I did not see anywhere that it’s a requirement — just that there’s a valid signature. * I’ll have to pay attention to SNAPSHOT references when I do the next release. I’m going to need guidance on the best way to handle that. * I’m not sure what Chris’ issues were with references in the various meta files. I’d like to follow up on that before the next release. * I didn’t see an issue with RAT. Not sure what that was about. * The failure of ant clean is normal when clean is run twice. * Carlos: I think you added OpenSans. Can you add the reference to the NOTICE file in develop? > > Am 08.05.20, 13:28 schrieb "[email protected]" > <[email protected]>: > > Hi, > This is the vote for the 0.9.7 release of Apache Royale.
