I just read today about the release announcement of gnash 8.8 . The article also reminded me of this other flash rewrite taking place named lightspark. I think the latest version is supposed to be working with youtube at this point. However, I haven’t yet verified this myself. I was just thinking, that at some point in the future, we would like to have flash support, but perhaps this new program will be more worthwhile than trying to work on gnash. I heard at some point in the past that gnash was supposed to be some really sloppy code, hence the interest in this new project. Anyhow, I will post a few interesting links.
