If you are particularly hawk-eyed you may have noticed that we released a new sdk.zip, 1.18b, for the Maps API for Flash today. This release has no significant changes compared to 1.18. You may wonder why we bothered, but we felt it would be a good idea to perform a complete test of the new release process before we use it for a meaningful update. It seems to have gone smoothly, so we can now move on to building a maintenance release that contains concrete fixes, which we hope to push next week.
Apologies again for the delay, Thor.
