Lightspark 0.7.0 released

Lightspark 0.7.0 has been released, includ­ing sev­eral months of improve­ments and bug fixes.

Ver­sion 0.7.0:

* Sup­port LZMA com­pressed SWFs [Requires liblzma]
* Improved Bitmap­Data sup­port
* Improved Action­Script com­pat­i­bil­ity
* Improved vir­tual machine per­for­mance and mem­ory con­sump­tion
* Improved XML sup­port
* Exper­i­men­tal sup­port for byte­code opti­miza­tion at run­time
* Improved Exter­nal­In­ter­face (browser inte­gra­tion) sup­port
* Improved per­for­mance of JPEG load­ing
* Sup­port for XML­Socket
* Com­pletely redesigned and improved mask­ing support

You can grab a copy of the sources from launch­pad as usual.

I would also like to ask for infor­ma­tion on a spe­cific prob­lem the project is fac­ing. We are encoun­ter­ing more sites that tries to load library code in the form of SWZ files, which seems to be undoc­u­mented (prob­a­bly obfuscated/encrypted) flash files. Any infor­ma­tion on how to parse/load them is appreciated.
