Adobe AIR 1.0 : Thank You
mikechambers February 24th, 2008
Well, as I am sure everyone has seen, we have released Adobe AIR 1.0 (along with a ton of other updates, including Flex 3 and Flex Builder 3). I will post more about this tomorrow, but wanted to make a quick post here and thank everyone in the development community who has helped shape the runtime.
I don’t think there is another product that we have been so open about, from such an early stage. We began talking to developers about it nearly a year and a half ago, and released an alpha, and 3 betas to the public. All of this was to let you know what we were working on, but more importantly, to let you help point us in the right direction. So, from the entire AIR team, thank you.
You can find more on Adobe AIR 1.0 here.
Also, don’t forget, but if you are in Europe and want to learn more about Adobe AIR, then register for the free on AIR event here.
Congrats Mike to you and the team. Shipping a 1.0 product is no small feat and I’ve enjoyed watching how your crew has evangelized the technology over the last year.
Good luck on your march to 1.1/1.5/2.0…whatever is next :).

Awesome news and what a cool shirt!
So glad to see what AIR has become and the amazing support it has been given during the development process.
You guys deserve some much needed rest, awesome work!

Congrats Mike! I was blown away at Toronto on the AirBus tour and I think with the release of 1.0 that the general public will start seeing how amazing this platform is.
Wonderful news, congrats. Also, have there been any significant changes since beta 3, and if so, are they listed anywhere?

Any changes should be found in the release notes. Focus between release and beta 3 was on bug fixing and optimization, so there shouldnt be anything major in there.

FYI - It appears the new AIR installer breaks most of the AIR apps I have installed and no one, including the kuler app, have updated installers rolled out.
PS - how can I get some cool AIR logo stickers?
Wonderfull, looking forward to start the AIR development.
Have fun at the FITC.
I checked AIR 1.0 just now. My main headache is still here: AIR is based on 9.0.115 Flash Player, 9.0.115 can’t load external images more than 8191 pixels width.
That’s fun, 9.0.60 build can load 20000 pixels width images and more, but offline desktop application doesn’t… :)
Mike, maybe you can give some clue how to work with big images in AIR? Say, panoramas?
I really like AIR from the betas I’ve seen… now with the release it’s a goldmine! I think the amount of “traditional” (note the inverted commas) developers that will be learning the cross-over (if they’re not there already), will be phenomenal. All hail AIR! I can only forsee a great future! Micro-WHAT? this is can create the new Windows ;)
Nice, congrats on the release! I think the long-term “open-ness” of the development of AIR was a great move, as well as the onAIR tour, especially considering how that enabled tons and tons of early adopters to start developing AIR apps before release. Now, there’s already a pretty hefty selection of AIR apps out there, making for a very nice little portfolio of stuff to show off and say “this is what people have already made using our product”! Very cool. :)
