Hi, community! Thank you so much for your continued support of Feathers, the open source user interface component library for Starling Framework. I truly couldn't do it without your excellent feedback over the years. Today, I'm proud to present the official release of Feathers 3.5.0.

Feathers UI 3.5.0

Download Feathers UI 3.5.0. This release includes the following new features:
- A new isSwipeToPopEnabled property on StackScreenNavigator. Setting this property to true will enable a swipe gesture to return to the previous screen, similar to native iOS apps.
- Animated Effects. Create effect functions using the Move, Resize, Fade, Iris, Wipe, Sequence, and Parallel classes. Pass them to some new effect APIs that are available on all components, including showEffect, hideEffect, moveEffect, resizeEffect, focusInEffect, focusOutEffect, addedEffect, and removeFromParentWithEffect(). The List component also includes new addItemWithEffect() and removeItemWithEffect() methods.
For complete details, please take a look at the Feathers UI release notes.

Feathers 3.5.0 minimum requirements:
- Adobe AIR 29.0 or newer for mobile and desktop apps
- Adobe Flash Player 19.0 or newer for web browser apps
- Starling Framework 2.3
Feathers SDK 3.5.0

If you previously installed the Feathers SDK Manager, you will find that Feathers SDK 3.5.0 has been added to the list of releases. This version of the SDK includes all of the changes in Feathers UI mentioned above, along with the ability to define view states in MXML. For complete details, please take a look at the Feathers SDK release notes.

I look forward to receiving your feedback. Thank you for developing with Feathers!

Happy coding,
Josh Tynjala

Nice Josh,

I am tempted to put this in Drum Pad Beats but I just released it so I don't know if that is a good idea yet.

I will definitely be trying the states in pretty complicated scenarios and the move, resize, add effect API.

I just couldn't try this stuff in beta since I was getting ready for a release.

Wow, especially that new "Effects" API seems extremely useful — and smart! Congratulations on the release, Josh!

Hi Josh! Thanks so much for Feathers UI v3.5.0 it looks great! I am just starting with feathers but I have fallen in love with it.

However I have a doubt... How can I use the Animated Effects with the Alert.show() static method?

Thanks in advanced.

I think Alert.alertFactory is the answer to my question.
However I have not been able to manage the effect when the Alert dissapears after I touch a button

Josh hi. Please comment 2 questions.

1. Can effects be used to smooth change list's dataprovider items. For example wiith changing some filter i have to change all items to another. I tried to remove all data with removeItemWithEffect if it's renderer exists and just remove data if not and than add all new items with addItemWithEffect. But i didn't get success results (my list's length just up and up without deleting items). So can you add some additional explanation on that? Maybe we can't remove and add items immediate. Maybe we need some delay.

2. About resize effect. Does it affects on renderer's count created. Cause it's count depends on visibility zone so with resize effect from 0 height it can create all list's children.

Thanks and best Regards!

@donricardo Setting the addedEffect in the alertFactory seems like the best way to play an effect when the alert is show.

It doesn't seem possible to play an effect when closing the alert right now. I think I may need to add some kind of way to prevent the alert from automatically removing itself when the buttons are triggered so that you can call removeFromParentWithEffect() instead.
