Guys, apparently the AIR is no longer an Adobe priority. Tell the developers when you are planning to end AIR support ?

Updates and improvements are priority. Period.


You pay NOTHING for AIR, it is free.

If you think AIR is not worth it, please stop using AIR , stop blaming Adobe, and MOVE to other new-shiny-cool-tech out there.

    I am sure that many are ready to start paying if Starling and Feathers remain without support. This base must not stand still.

    I agree with what I wrote on emotions. But everyone understands that because of the cessation of funding of the main developers, for the first time since 2012, other minds will be gone.

        You're moving the goalpost. No one said Starling would die. You're the one making claims and having them disproved.

        Re-read the concerns here and try again man.

          Guess someone else needs to READ

          Also, updates != priority. Where are the blogs? Advertising?

            The correct information : Adobe has stopping financial support for Feathers-UI framework's maintainer NOT Adobe AIR
            link: https://forum.starling-framework.org/topic/the-future-of-feathers-ui

            so please READ carefully before posting HOAX like that!

              I see no hoax. The title of the thread specifically says they stopped supporting starling and feathers. As others have noted, Adobe's actions speak louder than their words and stopping support for frameworks keeping their technology alive, combined with slower releases and zero push on AIR has developers worried.

              If the writing on the wall is accurate, OP is asking Adobe to clarify plans on AIR so people are informed.

                Josh Tynjala is maintainer of Feathers NOT Starling
                I don't see words from Daniel Sperl - maintainer of Starling.


                "AIR is no longer an Adobe priority"                 --this is hoax
                Regular AIR updates clarify this

                  Yes, starling will work fine. The concern is AIR won't be updated to meet the changing demands of Apple and Google's app stores. In that scenario, I'd at least hope Adobe would open source it so we can continue to support it.

                    Starling will continue to work I'm sure, but it's mainly the overall message that this sends.  Most of the writing on the wall seems to point to AIR not having the brightest future, and this definitely drives that message home.  I've been hanging on for a while now, and have trying to not be the doom and gloom guy, but this seems pretty bad.  Heck, the Starling forum is one of the last, and possibly the most active AS3 forum to still exist.

                      Have you read something about that? For what it's worth, some of what Starling was good for is built into Adobe Animate now, though mainly for the benefit of HTML5 users. Also, not getting money from Adobe doesn't mean that Starling won't continue to work.

                        This means that we have lost the support of the main libraries of air. If adob decided not to spend money on it, how much will the air live? Millions of hours are invested in technology and it really works well.

                          I would like to hear some official word on this as well.  Things are really not looking good, and it'd be nice to at least officially hear it.
