Flash Player 10.1 Beta 3 Developer Prerelease Available
Adobe released the developer prerelease of the Adobe Flash player 10.1 (Beta 3). Adobe mentioned that:
This is a developer prerelease version of the Adobe® Flash® Player 10.1 software for Windows, Macintosh and Linux. It is being made available for developers to test their content to ensure new features function as expected, existing content plays back correctly, and there are no compatibility issues. Consumers can try the beta release of Flash Player 10.1 to preview hardware acceleration of video on supported Windows PCs and x86-based netbooks. The Flash Player 10.1 prerelease is available in all supported languages; however, the prerelease installers are only in English and we can only accept feedback in English at this time.
I have just downloaded the prerelease and tested with my latest upcoming project on MAC OS X 10.6.2 & Safari.
There seems to be a huge performance improvement but further tests will prove if it is really true or not.
I will be doing a couple of performance tests, especially with animations and see what happens.
