Version 3.7 of both the ArcGIS API for Flex and ArcGIS Viewer for Flex was released on Tuesday November 25th, 2014. This release was focused on user enhancement requests and bug fixes for both the Viewer and API, as well as adding support for OAuth using Portal for ArcGIS 10.3.
This release of ArcGIS API for Flex is significant in that it is the last planned release of this technology. While technical support will be available through June of 2016, maintenance will be discontinued. Customers should begin exploring web solutions that are based on ArcGIS API for JavaScript. More information regarding this can be found in this Support blog post.
