Flash Player - Forward, Backward, Platform Compatibility
Nice article about Flash Players forward, backward, and platform compatibility and how it makes life so much easier for developers.
Smaller changes which caused some problems pointed out in the comments, such as IE7 detection, introduction of the sandbox and the crossdomain.xml policy file, POST data in Safari 1 and no native scrollwheel support on OS X..., are all the network, browser, or ui layers around Flash Player.
Current schedule for releasing the final version of Flash Player 9 for Linux is early 2007.
A a beta version [will be released] in advance of the final version. However, it will be a beta in the classical software engineering sense-- i.e., a version that we believe to be largely bug-free and submitted to the users in the hopes that the last of the bugs will be found and reported. by Mike Melanson
