Adobe says they will have the Flex 4.5 source code available next month. We could start using their preview release now, or wait until May for the official release. I tend to want to wait for the official release, since I don't know of any pressing need to support Flash 11 or Flash 12 right away.
The release notes I found for Flash player 11 list only some graphics upgrades: New Features Key new capabilities in the Flash Player 11,0,0,58 Incubator include: - “Molehill” 3D GPU Accelerated APIs – A new set of low-level, GPU-accelerated 3D APIs that enable advanced 3D experiences across devices through the Adobe® Flash® Platform runtimes. - Cubic Bezier Curves – Using the cubicCurveTo drawing API, developers can easily create cubic beziers without custom ActionScript code required. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Deepa Subramaniam <[email protected]> Date: Mon, Apr 18, 2011 at 2:53 PM Subject: RE: Flex Hero open source tree? To: Henry Minsky <[email protected]> Hi Henry - We don't yet have the Flex 4.5 SVN branch reflecting the 4.5 soure code. That will happen when we ship in May 2011. Till then, you can access the SDK source by joining the Flex and FlashBuilder 4.5 pre-release program with this URL: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/flexprerelease Cheers, ds ________________________________________ From: Henry Minsky [[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, April 16, 2011 1:22 PM To: Deepa Subramaniam Subject: Flex Hero open source tree? Hello Deepa, I am working on integrating the flex open source compiler with the OpenLaszlo system. We maintain a compiler which compiles an application in our source language down to either Javascript (for HTML5 runtime applications) or to actionscript 3 (when targeting Flash as the runtime). We have been using the Flex 4 compiler jar files in order to invoke the Flex compiler on our generated code. We have been using Flex 4.1 Update 4.1.0.16076 (Thu June 30, 2010 ) which we checked out from http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/flex/sdk/trunk last year. We are interested in working with the new Flex 4.5 Hero release, to take advantage of the new RSL and TLF features. I am trying to figure out where the open source tree is for flex 4.5. Is that still at http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/flex/sdk/trunk or is there a new location that is distinct from the 4.1 tree? Thanks very much! -- Henry Minsky Software Architect [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> -- Henry Minsky Software Architect [email protected]
