Flash Player 10. This version brings a lot of improvements to the Linux platform:
* optimized sound sound API and sound buffer
* windowless overlay mode now working (Firefox 3 required)
* new embedding modes (
explained by the developer Tinic Uro)

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.
Download it and copy the binaries as root to "/usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree". Shutdown your browswer and restart it, open the url "about:plugins" to make sure it's available.

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.
