Bleeding-Edge Release
You can always grab the "in-development" version of our code. Things may not work, nor may tests pass. Use at your own risk.
We use
Git
for version control. You can
browse our repository
in your web browser. The development of the Flex SDK is done on 'branches/develop', while releases are cut from the 'trunk'.

Verify the integrity of the files
Apache relies on 3rd party mirrors to distribute their software. Because these releases are hosted on servers that are not under our control, we strongly recommend that you verify the integrity of the binaries or source code before you install it using the PGP or MD5 signatures listed next to the downloads. This involves a few extra steps, but it will verify that you are getting a true Apache release.
The PGP signatures can be verified using PGP or GPG. First download the
KEYS
as well as the asc signature file for the relevant distribution. Make sure you get these files as linked from this page (rather than a mirror) to insure the integrity of the files.
% pgpk -a KEYS
% pgpv apache-flex-sdk-4.16.1-src.tar.gz.asc
or
% pgp -ka KEYS
% pgp apache-flex-sdk-4.16.1-src.tar.gz.asc
or
gpg
--
import
KEYS
gpg
--
verify
apache
flex
sdk
4.16
src
tar
gz
asc
Alternatively, you can verify the MD5 signature on the files. A unix/Mac program called
md5
or
md5sum
is included in many unix distributions. It is also available as part of
GNU Textutils
. Windows users can get binary md5 programs from
here
here
, or
here
. An MD5 signature consists of 32 hex characters, and a SHA1 signature consists of 40 hex characters. Ensure your generated signature string matches the signature string published in the files above.
Apache Flex® is a highly productive, open source application framework for building and maintaining expressive web applications that deploy consistently on all major browsers, desktops and devices (including smartphones, tablets and tv). It provides a modern, standards-based language and programming model that supports common design patterns suitable for developers from many backgrounds. Flex applications can be deployed with Adobe® AIR™ on desktop and mobile, including native Android™, iOS™, Windows®, macOS®, and Linux applications.
We have two mailing lists, one for SDK developers, and one for SDK users.
