Keeping Up With What’s Changing in Flex 4
October 23rd, 2008 by ryanstewart
I asked Matt what the best way to keep up with the changes in Flex 4 was (because there are many, many changes). I was hoping for some secret Adobe-only document that held the grand master plan. No dice. Instead what he sent, the SVN commit log, is completely public and really valuable. It’s a bit dry, but you can see a list of all the changes to the SDK and get an idea of the direction of things. There’s a ton of valuable info there and some people seem to have known about it for a while but I hadn’t seen it before.
You can get email notifications whenever something new is added, but unfortunately there is no RSS feed.
