Following on from the news that Cairngorm has been moved to Adobe Open Source, it is my pleasure to announce that FlexUnit, the unit testing framework for Flex applications, now has a new home on Adobe Open Source. FlexUnit started its life almost 5 years ago, when I first wrote AS2Unit; at that time, it home was the iteration::two website. FlexUnit was borne from that project, and was released shortly after Flex 1.0 in March 2004.

So, Cairngorm has been on Adobe Open Source for over one week now, and I thought I'd summarize what's happened since. It has been interesting to watch the community response to my announcement. To Adobe Consulting, this was a move of an already open source project from Adobe Labs to Adobe Open Source, but while the response has been extremely positive, many of the reports read as if Cairngorm becoming open source was something new.

The Flex Scheduling Framework, previously on Adobe Labs, now has a new home, as part of the FlexLib project on Google Code. The Flex Scheduling Framework was borne out of Adobe Consulting engagements, as is not part of the Flex SDK. As such, maintenance and bug fixes were mainly community led, with Adobe Consulting staff members spending their own time to apply any fixes. The latest release on FlexLib includes a number of bug fixes when compared to the original version that appeared on Adobe Labs.
