Adobe Flash on Linux moves forward |
|
|
A few years ago Adobe announced the company would no longer actively develop its traditional NPAPI Flash plugin for Linux. At the time, the NPAPI plugin was scheduled to receive security updates only on Linux through until the year 2017. People who wanted to use more modern versions of Flash, versions newer than 11.2, would need to run a web browser which supported the PPAPI Flash plugin. This was a problem for some users as the PPAPI plugin was supported by a limited number of browsers on Linux. Adobe has changed its mind and the NPAPI Flash plugin will move forward, receiving most of the same features as the PPAPI version of the plugin. The Adobe blog has more information: "Today 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. In the past, we communicated that NPAPI Linux releases would stop in 2017. This is no longer the case and once we have performed sufficient testing and received community feedback, we will release both NPAPI and PPAPI Linux builds with their major version numbers in sync and on a regular basis."
