Hi, As being official now, I would like to keep you informed about what I did in the last weeks: I have managed to get the testsuite to run 100% with the 4.5 sdk. All of the problems in the suite were related to Adobe adding a huge degeneration in the SDK and some bugs in third party software being resolved, which in return broke workarounds to those bugs in the testsuite.
Currently there is one major issue though related to ASDoc. In the newer SDK versions the ASDoc library shipped by Adobe has degeneated dramatically. As soon as there is an "@" sign in the comment, the output is completely runied. This is due to the fact, that Adobe doesn't escape any of the potentially dangerous entities and they build the output using StringBuilder and are not using a single XML api for generating output (What a shame). The only solution I can see for this is to rewrite the ASDoc lib and forcefully reference that new version in future Flexmojos version. This rewrite however is completely the responsability of Apache now. Hopefully they will be fixing this some time soon. Just wanted you to know, that this is not a Flexmojos issue and we can currenltly only manually escape the special chars. In parallel I am setting up a Continuous Integration server (Linux on an EC2 instance) that will take care of building and running all the tests. Hopefully Flexmojos trunk will stay stable with a 100% green testsuite from now on. Unfortunately I am having some trouble with running the Flashplayer on this headless instance. So if anyone here could help me with this, I would be really glad to have this off my table ;-) I have started migrating the content of the old confluence to the new one and am refactoring the structure of the site. Hopefully it will be easier to find the desired information this way. Also I will try to update the documentation to Flexmojos 5.1 so I have to validate all of it's content. Additionally I will be merging in the tutorials I created in my own confluence under http://dev.c-ware.de/confluence/ (Also updating that to 5.1). Creating multiple versions for all the old versions would be insanely large task, so I will eventually create some diff-like documentations for the old versions. As Velo I too am dedicating my time and resources (The EC2 instance doesn't come for free) to this project, because I believe it's a dam good piece of software.
