| Apache Flex 4.9.0 |
| ================= |
| |
| This is first release after the Apache Flex 4.8.0 parity release. |
| |
| The official Apache distribution is the source kit which can contain only source. |
| Because of this, and various licensing constraints, there must be a few differences. |
| |
| ====> Please see the README, especially the "Install Prerequisites" section. <==== |
| |
| Differences from Apache Flex 4.8.0: |
| - New locales for Apache Flex including Australian, British, Canadian, Greek, Switzerland (German) and Portuguese |
| - Apache Flex SDK can be compiled for any version of the Flash Player from 10.2 to 11.5 |
| - New PostCodeFormatter and PostCodeValidator classes for international postcode formatting and validation |
| - New VectorList and VectorCollection classes for lists and collections of vectors |
| - New version of the TLF (Text Layout Framework), the TLF 3.0.33 source code is now included as it is now part |
| of the Apache Flex donation. |
| - Can use Java 7 to compile SDK (see README for instructions) |
| - Many improvements and updates to Mustella tests |
| - An SDK installer has also been created and is the recommended way of installing the Apache Flex SDK in an IDE. |
| For more information see http://flex.apache.org/installer.html |

| |
| Differences from Adobe Flex 4.6.0: |
| |
| - BlazeDS integration is an optional feature (Adobe license) |
| - Adobe embedded font support is an optional feature |
| |
| - the lib directory has been restructured |
| -- lib (jars built from source) |
| -- external (other Apache jars or ones with compatible licenses) |
| -- optional (optional jars with incompatible licenses) |
| |
| - the default linkage is -static-link-runtime-shared-libraries=true |
| |
| - there are no longer Adobe signed RSLs (swz files) in frameworks/rsls |
| - the frameworks/rsls directory contains unsigned RSL for libraries we build |
| |
| - the frameworks/osmf src is not included which means there is not an osmf RSL. |
| |
| - the ASDoc in the asdoc package no longer has active links for Adobe Flash, |
| Adobe Air, the Open Source Media Framework (OSMF) or Text Layout Format (TLF). |
| We hope to correct this in a future release. |
