My former peeps over at Yahoo just released 10 more components, 3 Flash and 5 Flex components. The also fixed some of the bugs that the community reported in the existing components.
For the Flash world Astra now contains an AlertManager, an AudioPlayback component, and a MenuBar component that works with the existing Menu component released in Astra 1.0.
For the Flex folk the kind gents on the Yahoo Flash Platform team have created an AutoCompleteManager, a few different ColorPickers, an IPV4AddressInput, a TimeInput component, and a TimeStepper component.
Nice work guys, and now that I am not part of the team and a user of Astra I say thank you for all your hard work.

Well this will probably be my last posting that announces something my team (Yahoo! Flash Platform) at Yahoo has launched. From now on it will be my former team as I am leaving to work for Disney on Friday. This week we launched three very exciting things. The new Yahoo! Flash Platform blog (http://www.yswfblog.com), the new and improved Yahoo! Flash Development Center (http://developer.yahoo.com/flash) and our new Astra Flash Components. The Astra Library is our collection of Flash and Flex components, libraries and toolkits. In this inaugural release, ASTRA contains five UI components that complement the existing set provided with Flash CS3. The new UI components are: Tree, Menu, TabBar, AutoComplete, and Charts. ASTRA is open-source under the BSD license, and follows an approach similar to the very popular YUI Library. Keep an eye on the ASTRA library, I know first hand that there are some very cool things to come.
