Apache Flex is an application framework for easily building Flash-based
applications for mobile devices, the browser and desktop.
+On the 31th of December, 2011, the Apache Software Foundation has accepted the
+Flex SDK into incubation. Apache Flex is now a community project managed by
+Apache (ASF).

Please see the incubator proposal [here][1]
+##Latest Apache Flex News (June 2012):
-##Apache Flex Re-branding Initiative (Logo Contest - complete)
+ - The Apache Flex Project has received the entire Flex Framework. This
includes all components that were completed in Adobeâs 4.6.0 release and a
few others. Essentially if you take the existing compiler to the frameworks
code, you would get what amounts to the current Adobe release.
-On the 31th of December, 2011, the Apache Software Foundation has accepted the
-Flex SDK into incubation. Apache Flex is now a community project managed by
-Apache (ASF). The migration from Adobe to Apache involves a re-branding,
-and we have came to a decision through a joint vote with PPMC members and
-the community at large.
+ - The Apache Flex Project has received the âmxmlc Flex Compilerâ. This
means we can now make changes to the existing compiler that shipped with
Adobeâs 4.6.0. This will allow us to make bug-fixes and small optimizations
while we wait for the new âFalconâ compiler.
+
+ - The testing framework that Adobe used known as Mustela has been donated.
This will allow us to make changes to the compiler and framework while still
maintaining compatibility with the previous versions. There are a series of
tests that still need to be written, but at least the framework is there.
+
+ - The Apache Flex team has created a set of build scripts so that anybody
can easily build their own copy of the framework. Apache ANT scripts will be
officially supported, but other developers have offered to make build scripts
for Maven.
+
+ - Pre-compiled builds have been created [and posted][1]. They are not the
'official' 4.8.0 version yet, but they are getting close. You can download
them and put them in your Flash Builder or IntelliJ SDKs directory and see how
they look with your existing projects today. This is a parity release to the
current Adobe 4.6.0 release.
-See the logo contest's page with results [here][2].
+ - Apache committers have begun donating various components to the framework,
including an FXGImage component, some collections classes, some major work
around validation, busy indicators for non-mobile components, and some
navigators. These components have not been integrated into the trunk (the main
project), but you should expect to see some of them in the future.
-Congratulations to the winner, Adrian Knopik of Fuse Collective, for his
[logo][3]
-submitted by Tomasz MaciÄ
g.
+ - Lots of work is happening around localization and internationalization. A
bunch of new locales have been submitted with more on the way.
-Congratulations to the runner up, Julien Brehier, for his [logo proposal][4].
+ - A team has formed to build what amounts to an automated installer for
Apache Flex SDK. This is an AIR application that will allow a user to do a
single-click install of the SDK, and integrate it into Flash Builder 4.6.0 (and
possibly other IDEs).
