    and again no 64 bit support
    this is getting tiresome

    however, since they released the spec I hope that the OSS implementation quickly catches up.

      This is one of the things that annoys me the most with closed source software: their authors/companies rarely communicate about touchy subjects pertaining to their product. No news on a 64-bit port.

      There are a lot of jerks in the Free Software world, but at least they tell you to shove your enhancement request you know where.

        Relax...this is a prerelease. Perhaps if they are prodded enough, they'll release a 64 bit version

          With all the complaining that's been going on over at http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/, you can be sure the blog's author would have mentionned it.

            I highly doubt it. A beta program is supposed to be feature-complete and just looking for bugs, so I wouldn't know why they wouldn't want to put a 64-bit Linux version out there for testing if they had one.

            Looks like we're all going to have to keep using nspluginwrapper. Well, at least it's better than having to use a browser chroot like you do for the JRE plugin.

              Have you tried OpenJDK? http://openjdk.java.net/

                The penguin.swf post mentions performance improvements and the release notes say it won't work with compiz.

                Anybody tried it with nspluginwrapper? I couldn't get 9.0.124 to work with it properly, still using 9.0.115.

                  Gnash is the only viable alternative for me. Not much works though.

                    As for me FP10 crashes FF like every few pages o_O back to the 9 ;-)
