Has Adobe abandoned AIR Desktop?

Seems like nothing is added to AIR Desktop anymore. What's the future hold for AIR Desktop? Are we likely to start seeing less mobile work and more desktop additions? If so, when? This year?

AIR desktop seems to get updated each week, along with the mobile SDK. The most recent update fixed some graphical glitches, and AIR desktop got the video texture feature before it was on mobile.

As for a general road map, that's still on Chris Campbell's to do list I think!

We definitely haven't abandoned it!  We've added VideoTexture support for both Mac and Win in our latest beta and we've added a number of desktop features (stage3d, etc) in recent releases.  We've also started a 64-bit osx dev preview to get feedback from developers.

That said, the majority of AIR developers are targeting mobile devices.  While we strive for platform parity, if we do have to decide where to implement a feature first (for example, we can't get all platforms done in one release), we might target mobile first then do desktop second.
