Old news for some, but welcome news none-the-least, especially for those that are making the switch to Linux and Ubuntu. Read an interview here with Mike Melanson, the lead engineer on the project. Big news I guess, cause with the whole Macromedia/Adobe hand over and Flash 8x player, Linux got overlooked and there was fear that that would be it for Flash on Linux.
So never fear… the future is bright. And some of the things the new player can do… very neat. Just the other day, over at the Adobe Labs they released some new functionality in the beta release, including full screen Flash, no chrome, nothing. Interesting eh?
