What to get & why: Flash Builder 4 (380mb) vs 4.0.0.14159 (138mb)

Mar 22, 2010 8:05 AM

Hello Everyone,

I'm excited to hear that FB4 is now officially out but I'm not sure if I should simply download the appropriate build# and go on with life?

Or should I bother uninstalling the beta and then installing the official FB4 all over again.

Pros? Cons? Anyone?

The 380MB download is the Flash Builder IDE. The 138MB download is just the SDK, no IDE.

I understand that fact but what's important for me to understand here is: Why would I spend time striping away the nicely setup IDE from beta2 when i can just point it to the SDK? I want your help to convince me and others like me that the newer IDE is better or at least well worth it.

Sure, I can try:

1) Beta 2 will eventually expire
2) Package rename refactoring
3) Many many bugs fixes since Beta 2. My personal Beta 2 favorites http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-21566 and https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-23179.
4) Item renderer / Skinning workflows
5) Did I mention bug fixes? Here's the list of bugs that have passed through my triage queue since October 2009 https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&jqlQ uery=priorityin%28%22A%2B%22%2CA%2CB%29ANDresolution%3DFixedANDcreated%3E%3D2009-10-05ANDcf%5B10100%5D%3DcurrentUser%28%29ORDERBYupdatedDESC%2CpriorityDESC%2CkeyDESC
