Eskimo is now totally free
Good news everyone,
Last week was full of announcements. No need to linger, lots of articles were already posted about it. The important things is that Adobe is still engaged on Flex and that the community will take an important place on its evolution.
We believe that for mobile development, Flash and Flex are here to stay. Today it’s the best multi-Platform solution, the closest to native apps in terms of performance and features. So it is logical that Adobe announce that Air will be at the heart of their mobile strategy. To be convinced, just look to Adobe Touch Apps. Right now it will depend on us (developers of the Flash/Flex community) to improve it, to make great components and native extensions to keep Flex and Air at the top of mobile multi-Platform solutions.
Few weeks ago, we announced our pricing for Eskimo. Many of you provide us feedback. We understood that it was not exactly what you expected. Taking into account your feedback and the decision of Adobe to put Flex open sources, we decided to release Eskimo as a fully free library under LGPL license. It is our first action to collaborate to the growth of the open sourced Flex. We are really excited to participate to the future of Flex.
The 1.0 release will come beginning of December, after the release of Flex SDK 4.6 by Adobe. It comes with some optimisations, bug fixes and a new component, the breadcrumb.
Hope you enjoy it.
The eskimo team.
