One of most feature requests of Linux users about Flash was a 64bit Flash Player,
Adobe make it now happend. This is the first 64bit Flash Player at all, a version for Mac OS X and Windows will follow later. But it isn't final yet, some functionality is still missing: camera, microphone, fullscreen via OpenGL.
The 64bit Flash Player isn't faster then the 32bit. For more performance
Tinic Uro, a Adobe Flash developer, recommended to disable the nspluginwrapper. Bugs of the 64bit Flash Player can be reported at
Adobe Bugs.

Envince and a lot of other PDF viewers are great for the daily usage. But working with PDF documents for prepress the best at all is always the Adobe PDF Reader. Due some security issues Adobe updated it now to
version 8.1.3.
The Adobe Reader is available in various languages as a Deb and RPM archive too, so its easy for you to install it. You can get it via the
Medibuntu Repository too.

Adobe published now the
final Flash Player 10. This version brings a lot of improvements to the Linux platform. Now the Linux Flash Player has the same features as on any other platform. For more details check out the
feature page.
Best of all Adobe provides now
a Deb archive for Ubuntu 8.04 but they use their own file structure and it seems there is no 64bit build again
To enjoy Flash Player 10 without smashing your Ubuntu:- extract the Deb archive (do not install it)
- extract the data.tar.gz
- copy as root the file "install_flash_player_10_linux/usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so" to "/usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree"

After a while nothing happens on
AIR for Linux now Adobe releases its rich media plattform AIR as a beta. This based an AIR 1.1 and has nearly the same features as AIR an Mac or Windows.
Adobe AIR for Linux runs under GNOME or KDE but for some features it requires a compositing manager like Compiz or simliar x server extensions.
Ubuntu is a supported distribution but they didn't offer Deb package - strange. All details about Adobe AIR for Linux beta can be found at the
release notes.

Adobe released today a
first beta of the Flash Player 10.
This version brings a lot more hardware acceleration to Flash and makes it more, more powerfull. Now raster images, video overlays and effects will be rendered with
OpenGL 2.0 directly on the graphics board.
With the new
Pixel Bender language it will be easy for designers to create own effects too. Best of all this beta is
released for Linux too.

Adobe did another step towards to Open Source. With the
Open Screen Project Adobe opens the
FLV/FLV4- and
SWF specification to everybody. Of course Adobe did this too push its
AIR and Flash technology against the M$'s Silverlight and Sun's JavaFX.

Adobe is working on an update for its Flash player 9 that will bring DRM to Flash. Since the popularity of Flash video and the support for H.264 the music and film industry like to get back control of the streamed content. This step could stop the development of
Gnash and
SWFdec, two alternatives to Adobes Flash player, too.

dark side of Adobe at the EFF.org.

Adobe releases the third update of the Flash plugin. This Update includes a lot of new features like support for H.264 video and the High Efficiency AAC (HE-AAC) audio codec. This pushes Flash to HD quality and allowing you to play back existing MP4, M4A, MOV, MP4V, 3GP, and 3G2 content. Many performance improvements were made too.
Installing the new version from the
Tar binary archive is easy, just copy the "libflashplayer.so" as root to "/usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree" (check the correct permissons).
