Flex 4 beta (codename: Gumbo) has been released, I just finished to read about the new major release. These are the main news:
- Improved compiler performance
- New skinning and component architecture (named Spark)
- Added suppurt to FXG (learn more about FXG)
- New states model
- ASDoc tool has been improved and is now possible to use ASDoc tags in mxml documents
- CSS has been improved to support descendant and id selectors (finally the previous missing “cascading part” of CSS has been provided!)
- Backwards compatibility with Flex 3
The new sdk is available on Adobe Labs
