Hey all, First want to say thanks for the great detailed instructions for building the SDK source, well done!
I think now we are at a point where we need to make a decision on the versioning numbers. There are already tweets (and blogs probably) talking about the source code for the SDK, and because there is no decision on the versioning I've already seen a couple of different people use different numbers. Before this starts getting confusing to users, and before everyone starts using the source in the "temp" location, let's make a decision so all the guides being written and shared are accurate. PROPOSAL: Here's what I propose for the versioning scheme: 4.6.x - I really think we need to reserve these numbers for Adobe to patch the last release they put out. There's bound to be some security hole or critical bug that pops up and 4.6.0 will need patching. 4.7.0 - This should be the first Apache Flex version. Continuing with the current scheme would be less confusing to long time Flex users. It also sends a message of stability, vital in enterprise software. This version should be pretty much identical to what Adobe donated with 4.6.0. 4.7.x - These versions should apply bug fixes and improvements that do not introduce API breakages, do not add significant new features, components, or Spark architecture changes. 5.0.x - This version would be our first real baby. Here we are free to update, change architectures, add components, etc. This would be where the real fun begins. I don't really like the proposal to use years, I prefer continuing with what we already have going. Like I stated, it feels more stable for the SDK, and like they say: if it ain't broke, don't fix it! Thoughts? Do we need a vote for versioning scheme? -omar
