Software-update: Adobe Flash Player 9.0.31.0

Met behulp van Adobe Flash Player is het mogelijk om Flash-content - voornamelijk swf-bestanden - te bekijken en af te spelen op de computer. Populaire videosites zoals Youtube en Google Video maken onder meer gebruik van Flash om bezoekers video's af te laten spelen binnen de standalone Flash Player. Adobe heeft dan eindelijk een stable release uitgebracht voor Linux x86 en voorzien van 9.0.31.0 als het versienummer. De lijst met veranderingen ziet er als volgt uit:

Fixes and improvements in Flash Player 9.0.31.0

Flash Player 9.0.31.0 for Linux includes all of the features from Flash Player 9.0.28.0 except for windowless mode and full-screen mode.

Flash Player 9.0.31.0 currently only supports the Firefox, Mozilla, and SeaMonkey browsers using GTK2. Instability issues are expected in all other, non-supported browsers, such as Opera, Konqueror, Netscape, Galeon.

Only ALSA is supported for microphone input and speaker output, and only Video4Linux v1 is supported for camera input.

Fixed in this version:

• Prior audio/video synchronization issues have been resolved.
• User can't type or delete when cursor is outside of the area of the running SWF.
• Flash content does not print symbols at less that 100% alpha.
• Motion Status remains the same even when motion is demonstrated for the Camera.

Known issues:

• Full-screen mode and windowless mode are not yet available for the Linux player.
• Express Install is an unsupported feature due to the variety of Linux platforms, each handling the Adobe Flash Player plug-in installation in different ways.
• SSL support is available only when users install flashsupport.c. More information on SSL support can be found at Additional Interface Support for Linux.
• Modal dialogs displayed by Flash Player stay in front of browser windows but do not prevent interaction with the browser as they should. (191331)
• When hovering over Flash content on a web page, the mouse scroll-wheel does not work. Workaround: Hover over the HTML content on the web page. (188976)
• On certain SUSE 9.2 installations using the standalone player only, trying to Open a browser from the standalone player with SeaMonkey open will cause the player to hang. (193383)
