The Apache Royale community is pleased to announce the release of Apache Royale 0.9.8.
The Apache Royale project is the next generation of the Apache Flex SDK. It lets developers use MXML and ActionScript 3 to generate HTML/JS/CSS applications which can run natively in browsers. The cross-compiled code can also run on platforms like Electron or Apache Cordova (Adobe PhoneGap) to build mobile applications. This release should be considered ‘beta’ quality, although we’re very close to a 1.0 release and we have many applications in production at this point. The purpose of this release is to continue to gather feedback about Royale’s features and the project’s implementation strategies, and to recruit new contributors. We hope to grow the code base into an SDK and tool chain that delivers the highest productivity when developing applications that can run on many platforms. Beta releases, however, may not handle all production needs.
