What!?! Adobe releases beta version of Adobe Flash Player v23 for Linux
Wow, Adobe has decided to update its Flash Player for Linux. Previously, the NPAPI Flash plugin (which allows for use in browsers such as Firefox) was kept at v11.2 for several years now. But in a blog post, Adobe has announced "...we are updating the beta channel with Linux NPAPI Flash Player by moving it forward and in sync with the modern release branch (currently version 23). We have done this significant change to improve security and provide additional mitigation to the Linux community." Read the announcement at https://blogs.adobe.com/flashplayer/2016/08/beta-news-flash-player-npapi-for... and download Adobe Flash player beta at http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer.html Dev Anand
Yes, saw this yesterday. I suspect there may be significant security issues in the existing version, and some of the vendors selling Flash-based applications must have pushed for fixes...the move doesn't make any sense from the market angle. satish On Tue, Sep 6, 2016 at 9:44 AM, Dev Anand Teelucksingh <devtee@gmail.com> wrote:

Great news! At least someone cares about Linux users. We are 'left out' many times though many product vendors are beginning to give a lot of support to Linux. Thanks for sharing, Dev. Regards, Sarah Le mardi 6 septembre 2016, Dev Anand Teelucksingh <devtee@gmail.com> a écrit :

I agree, I have a full stack linux system and I have had previous challenges but now I have a reason to smile. Just like inkscape sorted out my graphic issues in linux which was a replacement for Adobe Suite. My prayer is that Adobe to develop a full system for linux as it has a powerful set of tool like Photoshop, Fireworks, Dreamweaver, etc ᐧ Daniel Nanghaka ALAC Sub-Committee on Outreach and Engagement – Co-chair from AFRALO ISOC Uganda Chapter Tel: +256 772 898298 On 6 September 2016 at 07:33, Sarah Kiden <skiden@gmail.com> wrote:
