About a month ago, the Flex team announced that nightly builds of the next version of Flex (code named Gumbo) were now available on the opensource Flex site. Along with early versions of the SDK, the team also posted a ton of other information, including specs and API docs.
Below is a listing of links and resources about Gumbo / Flex 4. Going through
these will quickly get your up to speed on what is being worked on in Flex 4,
and get your ready for playing around with the new builds.
