Hi folks, After the -1 bloodbath of the first VOTE, we are trying again :-)
This is the first official release of the InstallApacheFlex AIR application. The official Apache distribution is the source kit which can contains only source. The source distributions for Windows and Mac are available here: http://people.apache.org/~bigosmallm/installapacheflex_RC2/ We are have binary distributions as a convenience for the respective platforms, available here: http://people.apache.org/~bigosmallm/installapacheflex_RC2/binaries/ Along with the installer, we are releasing the 'badge installer' that can be embedded in our site as well as third-party websites. Here is a preview: http://incubator.apache.org/flex/installer.html Here are the list of things fixed after the feedback received from the first vote: 1. Removed mention of AS3CoreLib library in the NOTICE 2. Cleaned up the LICENCE by removing unncessary stuff 3. Removed ./src/assets/fonts/open-sans/Apache License Version 2.txt and merged the font license details into the LICENCE file. 4. Removed IDE specific files - .project, etc. from the source distribution 5. Removed unnecessary variables in build.properties file that were referencing the apache.org site. 6. Created the following JIRA issues describing: a. Procedure for signing the InstallApacheFlex releases: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-33186 b. Explanation of how the preferred mirror urls are used when downloading Apache artifacts: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-33187 7. Fixed problem which cause installation to be aborted after attempting to download the swfobject files. 8.
