Lightspark 0.4.8 released!


Just a quick note to announce that Lightspark 0.4.8 has been released! The main dif­fer­ence from the RC1 is that a nasty mem­ory allo­ca­tion bug has been fixed, greatly reduc­ing the amount of mem­ory used when play­ing video. This release of the free, high per­for­mance, flash player imple­men­ta­tion offi­cially sup­ports YouTube (as usual) and Vimeo (new entry!) You can find the code on Launch­pad. Test­ing and bug report­ing is extremely wel­come. You can also usu­ally find (friendly) sup­port on the #lightspark IRC chan­nel on FreeN­ode. As a last note, a regres­sion of the NVIDIA pro­pri­etary dri­ver forced me to start using nou­veau and, although I was fairly skep­tic, I’m pretty happy so far. This of course means lightspark will be finally devel­oped and tested throughly on a com­pletely free stack!

Update: I for­got to cherry pick one com­mit before the release and so 0.4.8 don’t actu­ally build. 0.4.8.1 fixes the issue. Sorry for the silly mis­take.

    It’s nice to hear that you are now using nou­veau :)
    Also, I’ve just sent a word to the Arch pack­agers for the new release.

    How does Lightspark han­dle Flash Cook­ies? Can I set it to only allow for this session?

    Flash cook­ies are not yet sup­ported. This, inci­den­tally, means that they can’t be used to track users. We’re work­ing hard to improve the cov­er­age of sup­ported fea­tures over time.

    Sure I under­stand. Your work is very much appre­ci­ated! Do you keep a list of planned fea­tures or fea­tures that would be nice to have?

    Our cur­rent plans are more appli­ca­tions ori­ented than fea­tures ori­ented, this means that we’re imple­ment­ing stuff when those are needed to sup­port our tar­get apps. Our next sup­ported appli­ca­tion will prob­a­bly be groove­shark or some­thing like that.

    Maybe you’ve not installed the right build pack­ages. That file should def­i­nitely exists with g++ 4.6. I’m not sure about what are the right pack­ages for fedora though. There may be some hints here: https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/lightspark/wiki/Building

    The Ubuntu PPA for mav­er­ick only includes an older 0.4.6 ver­sion, unforunately. Any chance you could get the recent ver­sion to build for mav­er­ick also?

    I’m afraid we don’t have to man­power to keep offi­cial com­pat­i­bil­ity with older dis­tros. More­over dur­ing lightspark devel­op­ment we often improve other libraries, espe­cially their thread safety and back­port­ing all of them would be too heavy.
