Apache Royale is a new implementation of the principles of Apache Flex but designed for JavaScript runtimes instead of Adobe Flash/AIR runtimes. Apache Royale is designed to improve developer productivity in creating applications for wherever Javascript runs, including browsers as well as Apache Cordova applications, Node, etc.
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
- Apache Royale 0.9.2 was released on March 16 2018.
- Apache Royale 0.9.3 in progress.
- No releases this quarter although 0.9.2 was released between the report and the board meeting. Releases have been stalled by a combination of factors. One is that someone volunteered to be the RM and had not released Royale before and ran into configuration issues. Another is that so many new files were added that the Maven SCM plugin would not work correctly. Another is that there is a disagreement about the organization of files in the release. There has been a lot of work done to reslove this disagreement and it looks like we are close to resolving it. It looks like the Maven plugin has been fixed so hopefully we will release soon.
- Lots of progress on a new default look (component set) for Royale apps.
- Lots of progress on migrating a large Flex app to Royale. A new "Flex Emulation" component set is being worked on to ease migrations.
- New names are showing up on the mailing list asking about Royale.
- The owner of an ActionScript code base that doesn't use Flex is attempting to use the Royale Compiler to cross compile his code to JavaScript.
- Alina Kazi was added as committer on April 26 2018.
- No new PMC Members yet
- Two new contributors being watched to be committers.
