Board Report 2017 10

Apache Royale is a new implementation of the principles of Apache Flex but designed for JavaScript runtimes instead of Adobe Flash/AIR runtimes.
Apache Royale is designed to improve developer productivity in creating applications for wherever Javascript runs, including browsers as well as Apache Cordova applications, Node, etc.

Apache Royale was approved as a new TLP in the September meeting. Royale took over responsibility for the code related to what was known as Apache FlexJS from the Apache Flex community. This is our first report.
