If possible, please include a link to your application (or a sample app) and steps to repro.  We'd like to make sure we include this in all future testing so this does not occur again.  If you'd like to keep this private, please feel free to email me directly at ccampbel@adobe.com

Thanks you.  No new information to give out yet.  To get an idea of the data we're talking about here, is this primarily just user credentials that have been reset?

Hello AIR developers,

I want to thank you for your patience and again apologize to you for catching you off guard with this change.  Our team met today and our immediate plan is to roll the ELS changes back to the AIR 3.3 level. We are working on a timeline for when this update will be occur.  We are treating this with the highest priority and expect it will not take long.

For those interested, here’s how and why this change occurred.  Over the past year or two we’ve heard complaints about the reliability of our ELS implementation, especially on the Mac platform. We’ve known all along that we wanted to refactor this feature and remove dependence on third party libraries.  We undertook this restructuring during the 3.4 release schedule and finished without hearing any major complaints from our internal or prerelease users.  One assumption we made was that ELS data was treated like a volatile cache.  In the past we’ve given guidance on the usage of ELS in both blogs and our help documentation, suggesting that developers should not depend on ELS as permanent data storage because it “can be lost for a variety of reasons”. Our position on this hasn’t changed, but we acknowledge and understand that some applications have come to depend on this data and if at all possible, we should do our best to persist it.

Going forward, we will most likely reimplement our changes from 3.4, however when doing this we will also work to provide a way to automatically upgrade and persist your application's data.  We will also give plenty of advanced notice and make releases available on our labs.adobe.com site.  We want this change to improve your lives by adding improved stability and we look forward to working with you on this in the future.

Thanks,

Chris

The update mechanism should now be turned off, we're working on rolling back the ELS changes and it should be included in our next update.
