Lightspark’s news

Lightspark pro­gresses are never been so good. The last achieve­ment was to cor­rectly load, exe­cute and par­tially ren­der the YouTube player. As you may have seen YouTube has recently switched to Flash 10 and Action­Script 3.0 to serve some HD con­tent, while keep­ing the old AS2 based player for lower qual­ity videos. The old player is sup­ported by Gnash but, until now, there where no open source alter­na­tives to play newer, high def­i­n­i­tion con­tent. As Lightspark AS3 engine matures, that gap is almost closed. Stay tuned, as I’m plan­ning to release a new tech­nol­ogy demo very soon.

UPDATE: Demo tar­ball released on source­forge
