Adobe released the new version of its Flash Player. Flash Player 10 top new features:
- Built-in support for 3D effects
- Custom filters and effects
- Advanced text support with flexible text layout engine
- Enhanced sound APIs for dynamic sound generation
- Enhanced drawing APIs
- Enhanced file upload and download APIs
- Enhanced hardware acceleration
- New vector data type and more…
It's a great news for the Flash community, isn't it?
The main security point of Flash Player 10 is clickjacking security - vulnerabilities of the previous versions could give a hacker access to a user's webcam and microphone. That's why users of Flash Player 9 and earlier are strongly recommended to install Adobe Flash Player 10
