I would like to coordinate writing a press release to announce the arrival of Apache Flex 4.10, assuming it is ready for release. IMO, our project’s release notes [1] are very impressive. But, I’m not a developer & I do need some help generating the content and giving context to highlights in the RELEASE_NOTES that describes a difference or improvement from former versions.
Is anyone able to tell me how each of these bug fixes, additions, and improvements made the new v 4.10 a better SDK for businesses to use? • What business problems can a business manager solve with v 4.10 that weren't possible to solve with v 4.9.1? • Are you able to point to a company who needs the features & fixes that v 4.10 provides? • Who can give a testimonial about the improvements this version will make for their business? Saves money? Makes money? Saves time? Makes the firm more competitive in the marketplace? • Do any of the new enhancements in v 4.10 enable Flex SDK users to do something more easily or quickly for SDK users than those who choose other frameworks to develop custom software? • Does anyone know if ecosystem partners [2] for previous versions of Flex plan to support Apache Flex v 4.10? • It might also be helpful if anyone knows general demographic information about the Apache Flex Developer ecosystem. How many people remain active (commenting / contributing) on this Apache Flex Dev mailing list? What countries have at least one developer who contributed to a bug fix or code enhancement to this v 4.10? Anyone have an idea of how to estimate the number of worldwide Flex SDK users continue using Flex to build powerful enterprise applications? Here is a link to the previous press release we did earlier this year [3].
