Announcing ASTRA 1.1.1

Last month, we released version 1.1 of the Yahoo! ASTRA libraries for Flash and Flex. Since then, we’ve received a ton of great feedback that has led to some important bug fixes and improvements. No critical bugs were encountered, but we’ve committed a reasonable number of changes to make a maintenance release worthwhile. Please drop by the Yahoo! Flash Developer Center to pick up ASTRA 1.1.1.

Being a maintenance release, there are no new components to introduce in ASTRA 1.1.1. Instead, take a look at the list of bug fixes and enhancements straight from the release notes:

AlertManager (Flash)

• Bug fix: Alert dialog lost focus if the user selected the text and then hit the tab key.

Charts (Flash)

• Improved animation and invalidation of markers.
• Bug fix: Setting axis maximum less than the value of an origin-based marker (column, bar) hides the marker.
• Bug fix: With large data sets, line charts are displayed offset from the left, which hides some data on the right
• Bug fix: Axis displays improperly when all items have the same value.
• Bug fix: Infinite loop when calculating minimum and maximum values in some cases.
• Bug fix: PieChart displays the wrong category when values are primitive and equal.

MenuBar (Flash)

• Bug fix: Selected menubar button lost focus if it was toggled very quickly with keyboard shortcuts.
• Bug fix: Skin conflicts between Menu and MenuBar.

TabBar (Flash)

• Bug fix: Styles like textFormat are not passed through to tabs.
• Bug fix: focusIndex setter tries to access buttons before they are created.

AutoCompleteManager (Flex)

• New events
• Added API for adjusting minimum disk space requirements
• Bug fix: caret bug when changing selection of completion dropdown
• Bug fix: itemToLabel bug on certain types of entries
• Bug fix: loopSelection quirkiness

All users are encouraged to upgrade. Packages for the ASTRA Flash components and the ASTRA Flex components are available for download immediately on the Yahoo! Flash Developer Center.
