Flex Monkey Patches

OK…so I guess I kind of passed over these yesterday in my announcements. To me, the fact that there would be new releases timed with MAX was known and to anyone in the community there was probably a strong suspicion that there would at least be a new point release at MAX 2008. But in an effort to correct my oversight, here are links to the announcements by the product managers:

Matt Chotin (PM for Flex SDK) announces Flex Builder 3.0.2 and Flex SDK 3.2 (with support for AIR 1.5 and Flash Player 10).

Anil Channappa (PM for LCDS and BlazeDS) announces LCDS 2.6.1 and BlazeDS 3.2.

I kept meaning to post it to my blog and finally after getting a kick in the pants from Alex Harui and Jun Heider posting good blog entries on the same topic, here is my post.

Here is Alex’s blog post:

I think my content actually sits comfortably in between these two and as a trio they cover a lot of useful ground in making users more proficient with the Flex Builder profiler.
