Adobe AIR 1.5.1 released
Robert Christensen wrote on the official Adobe AIR Team Blog about the release of the Adobe AIR version 1.5.1 with a relatively minor update that includes a number of bug fixes. In this new version of Adobe AIR, two new APIs, Capabilities.cpuArchitecture and InvokeEvent.reason have been introduced.
The Capabilities.cpuArchitecture which returns the processor architecture of the machine, as a string. And the other InvokeEvent.reason which indicates if the application was launched manually by the user or automatically at login. The InvokeEventReason class (in the flash.desktop package) defines the two possible string values for the InvokeEvent.reason property. InvokeEventReason.LOGIN defines the login case; InvokeEventReason.STANDARD defines the standard case.
If you want to take advantage of these new AIR 1.5.1 APIs, you need to update application descriptor to use the 1.5.1 namespace. If you do not need to use these new APIs, you do not need to update your application descriptor. Your application will be able to run with AIR 1.5.1 when the user updates the version of the runtime installed on their system.
In this new version of Adobe AIR, some other bugs are also fixed. have a look at some of the bug fixes.
