Board Report 2022 9

DESCRIPTION

Apache Royale implements the principles of Apache Flex to support development of applications designed for JavaScript instead of Adobe Flash/AIR runtimes. Apache Royale improves developer productivity in creating applications to run wherever JavaScript runs, including on browsers, in Apache Cordova applications, on Node, and on other platforms.

ACTIVITY

We are seeing constant activity related to emulation components and good usage of Jewel modules by some Royale users. We have had problems with updating our website for some time, but one of the PMC members moved it to a system, based in Pelican, recommended by Infra. We have gained new control over the website, as we no longer have to edit in an external WordPress system. We have updated the links to released versions of Royale so that the latest version, 0.9.9, appears.
