Macromedia has released version 1.5 of Flex. Flex 1.5 improvement include improved data display and visualization, more versatile skinning and styling, additional new deployment platforms, and enhanced performance.
Charting components: The charting components were available to beta customers with Flex 1.0, and are now entirely integrated in the programming model.
New List Components (HorizontalList and TileList). In addition to the List component, you can now use HorizontalList and TileList to scroll through a data set. HorizontalList and TileList provide much better performance compared to the Repeater approach used in 1.0, especially when manipulating large data sets.
New stylable properties. There is now a lot more you can do with styles to customize the look-and-feel of your application.
Runtime Shared Libraries (RSL): You can now package classes and assets in runtime libraries that can be shared accross applications.
Integration with Central: You can now build Central applications using Flex.
Many performance and usability improvements.
Support for additional platforms: Oracle 10g, IBM AIX for Websphere 5, Fujitsu Interstage 6.
