Re: [DRAFT] Apache FlexJS 0.8.0 and Apache Flex FalconJX 0.8.0 Released

[Alex Harui]

Waiting for Josh to decide on the MXML Source Map issue.  I prefer
positivity, so I'd suggest rewording from:

- The -source-map compiler argument now also generates source maps for
scripts in MXML files.

To:


- The -source-map compiler argument now also generates source maps for
scripts in MXML files that can be used with VSCode and Chrome.

Assuming I understand the circumstances, of course.

Does anything more we need to make the announcement ?

It's more specific than that. It works in Chrome, but only if you launch
using the VSCode debugger. If I could make it work in Chrome's dev tools
without VSCode, I'd agree with your suggestion. However, I feel that most
people aren't going to be able to make this work.

Re: [DRAFT] Apache FlexJS 0.8.0 and Apache Flex FalconJX 0.8.0 Released

[Carlos Rovira]

What about to put a tail like ". (this feature only works on Chrome due to
a recently discover bug)", or something like that. We are at 0.8.0, the
software is still alpha/beta, so I think is more important to point
features than remove them due to some problems. Is a marketing thing for me
that could not be the same after 1.0

Re: [DRAFT] Apache FlexJS 0.8.0 and Apache Flex FalconJX 0.8.0 Released

[Josh Tynjala]

Yeah, manually renaming each of the .js.map files to .mxml.map would work.
Only for the MXML ones, though. The .js.map files for ActionScript classes
are referenced correctly.

Re: [DRAFT] Apache FlexJS 0.8.0 and Apache Flex FalconJX 0.8.0 Released

[Josh Tynjala]

We should remove the part about MXML source maps from the announcement (too
late for the release notes, unfortunately). As I was writing a new
tutorial, I found that they fail to work in critical situations. The source
map directive references the wrong file extension (the compiler emits
.mxml.map instead of .js.map). The built-in developer tools in Chrome and
Firefox can't find the source map file, since it has a different name.

Interestingly, source maps for MXML work correctly when launching
specifically in Chrome from VSCode, so I guess that must be where I tested
this feature. I'm not sure why this behaves differently than the developer
tools, but I assume that the Chrome debug extension for VSCode handles
source maps differently. Launching in Firefox from VSCode fails to find
source maps.

Anyway, sorry for the trouble! Hopefully, our release cycle will be shorter
this time so that the fix gets out there sooner rather than later.

I think the mirrors are mostly caught up.  I am going to switch over the
Installer and website now because there is someone on the users list
wanting to try FlexJS and I just updated the wiki to match how 0.8.0 will
work.

I will wait until I hear that you have the NPM ready before sending the
announcement.  I think only Olaf suggested any changes.  Anybody else?

I will get it done in the next 24 hours. Do we want to wait 3 days to
announce so that the mirrors can catch up?

Thanks,

The Apache Flex community is pleased to announce the release of Apache
FlexJS SDK 0.8.0 and Apache Flex FalconJX Compiler 0.8.0.

Apache Flex is a highly productive, open source application framework for
building and maintaining expressive applications that deploy consistently
on all major browsers, desktops and devices (including smartphones,
tablets and tv).

Apache FlexJS is a next-generation Flex SDK that enables developers to use
MXML and ActionScript to not only create SWFs but also cross-compile the
same MXML and ActionScript to HTML/JS/CSS so applications can run natively
in browsers.  The cross-compiled code can also be used in Apache Cordova
(Adobe PhoneGap) mobile applications.

Apache Flex FalconJX is a next-generation MXML and ActionScript
cross-compiler.  It extends the next-generation SWF compiler known as
Falcon.  Both are contained in the release package and are used by the
FlexJS package to compile SWFs or cross-compile to HTML/JS/CSS.

This is the sixth release of FlexJS and FalconJX.  It is ‘beta'
quality.  In this release, all of the compiler JARs and framework SWCs are
also available as Maven artifacts making FlexJS the only version of any
Flex
SDK to support Maven.  Maven can even be used to build the sources and
examples.  See the various pom.xml files included in the artifacts.

New capabilities in this release include:

- A new "Express" component set, which is designed for rapid application
development. It includes more beads by default than the "Basic" component
set to help you get started building FlexJS applications faster.
- The new "Material Design Lite" component set brings Google's Material
Design system to FlexJS.
- More complete Reflection implementation with access to static members,
kept metadata and method parameters
- Added cross-platform registerClassAlias/getAliasByClass/getClassByAlias
implementations (reflection package)
- Added support for interpreting XML literals as JSX by adding [JSX]
metadata to a function.
- The -source-map compiler argument now also generates source maps for
scripts in MXML files.



The purpose of this release is to gather feedback about the
features and implementation strategies, and recruit new contributors as we
grow these code bases into an SDK and tool chain that delivers the highest
productivity developing applications that can run in the most places.
These releases may not handle production needs.  Expect lots of bugs and
missing features.  Please file bugs at:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX/

For questions about how to use FlexJS and FalconJX, send email to
us...@flex.apache.org.  Please try to prefix the subject with [FlexJS] or
[FalconJX] so it is clear the questions refer to this release and not the
Flex SDK and MXMLC compiler.

For questions and feedback on the development of the source code in these
release, send email to dev@flex.apache.org.  Again, please prefix the
subject with [FlexJS] or [FalconJX].

Apache FlexJS and Apache Flex FalconJX are available in source and binary
form from the following download page:
http://flex.apache.org/download-flexjs.html

When downloading from a mirror site, please remember to verify the
downloads using signatures or MD5 hashes.

A simple way to try these releases is to use the
InstallApacheFlex 3.1 or 3.2 application which is available at the
following url:
http://flex.apache.org/installer.html

Choose Apache FlexJS 0.8.0 and it will create an Adobe Flash
Builder-compatible SDK that uses the Falcon and FalconJX compilers to
generate SWFs and HTML/JS/CSS output.  You can also use FDT as your IDE
for developing FlexJS applications.  Some folks have been successful
using IntelliJ, FlashDevelop as well.  Moonshine is also working on
FlexJS support.

Apache FlexJS 0.8.0 is also available as a npm package. On a system with
npm installed, users can easily install FlexJS with the command: "npm
install flexjs -g".

See the README or the FlexJS wiki for more information.  The FlexJS
section of the wiki is at the following

url:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLEX/FlexJS

Please try FlexJS and become involved in shaping the future of Flex.

>New capabilities in this release include: 
- Maybe it is worth to mention that the layout system was revised... or was
this rather a bug fix?

>You can also use...
- I think it's definitely worth to mention Josh's vscode extension here as a
powerful IDE.

Thanks,
Olaf
