Re: [flexcoders] Flash 8.5 Release -- Vote of Confidence

Hi Tony,

In the past they have almost always hit their deadlines within a few weeks and oftentimes are a week or so early.

There may be more bugs than they'd like, or less documentation than they'd like, but things should release pretty close to on-time.

They rightly tend to be even more conservative about timelines for the player. The fact that they are in a public beta of the player now makes me feel like they will certainly be on time with this.

However I have no inside info on this and if they end up way off, don't sue me. There are no absolute guarantees.

I actually wouldn't do a 6 week project at this point as you could have a key bug show up in the authoring tool that isn't fixed or isn't fixed until the 11th hour, but I think the player will come out close to whenever they say it will.

Hey, this wasn't a troll! ;-)  No one has any insight or opinion on this…?  Let me add that I'm extremely pleased with beta 2 and at this point I've pretty much made up my mind to use it for the project, but if Flash 8.5 ends up being significantly late (eg, later than July), I will probably be roasted over coals…. So … if anyone has any reason to believe that I'm being way too optimistic (foolish), I'd really like to hear sooner than later.

Subject: [flexcoders] Flash 8.5 Release -- Vote of Confidence

 

I'm starting a new short-term project (6 weeks) for which we would like to use Flex 2. Realizing that it's risky to bank on it, I'm curious as to how many people feel confident that Adobe will actually release Flash 8.5 in June.  We are simply not going to use Flex 1.5 any more, so the alternative is to not use Flex at all if 8.5 won't be available by June….

 

Thanks,

 

Tony
