Yes, that is the plan. At the same time
the Mac release comes out we will be upgrading the Windows release with bug
fixes. Mac and Windows will be synchronized at that point moving forward. Hank has stated my position very nicely
with regard to the other points. Matt From: Who says they're not going to roll out
MacOS compatibility and bug fixes for Windows all in one package? Just
like when the ColdFusion team was doing MacOS work... it applied to the Windows
& Linux versions too. Shan From: Matt or anyone else at Adobe. I agree that the quality of Flex Builder 2
is good . . . . very good . . . . however . . . . I know nothing will probably change since
Adobe is the big software company, and I am only a single customer(Flex Builder 2 w/charting), but
this position disturbs me. It reminds me of the construction industry
when a contractor builds or remodels my house. I have paid for the work and I find problems but the
contractor is off working on another house and doesn't have the time or resources to fix the problems in a
timely manner. To be honest, I could care less about
a Mac version . . . . AND I know those wanting a Mac version could care less about a Windows version.
So please no bashing from the Mac side. It appears that Adobe has not allocated
enough resources to the development team where they can have 2 groups. As I recall, it was said
on this forum, soon after Flex 2 was released the development team received new Macs to begin work on a Mac
version. Why did Adobe not already have a plan and
resources in place. This type of thing is done all the time. While I do not expect that every single
bug be issued a "release patch", it would be very nice and
customer friendly to have a bug fix release plan in
place and implement that plan. Especially in the first 6-9 months of a major release. I haven't encountered a bug that I know
of. But when I do, I will probably have spent many hours or days thinking I did not write the code
right only to find out later is was a bug. Wasted time . . . . money. I have said this before, but I would not
have a single customer if I told them I could not fix the software they purchased because I was working on another
version. I really do not understand why large
software companies employ this type of bug fix and update plan. I only hope Adobe will rethink their
strategy and implementation of releasing bug fixes. My .02 or actually $ 749 for Flex Builder
2 w/charting. Thanks, Jack From: Are there specific bugs you’re looking to be addressed? Based
on direct feedback as well as observation from the various public forums we’ve
been pretty pleased with the quality of the release so we’ve held off on
rushing out an updater while we work on things like the Mac release of Flex
Builder. Doesn’t mean we’re not fixing bugs, but we’ve decided to try to
address more issues in a longer cycle rather than fewer issues quickly. From: Before I
dive headlong into my first full Flex 2 project, can anybody -- -- -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com
