Adobe Releases Last Linux Version of Flash Player

Posted by timothy on from the end-of-the-line dept.

dartttt writes "Adobe has released Flash Player version 11.2 with many new features. This is the final Flash Player release for Linux platform and now onward there will be only security and bug fix updates. Last month Adobe announced that it is withdrawing Flash Player support for Linux platform. All the future newer Flash releases will be bundled with Google Chrome using its Pepper API and for everything else, 11.2 will be the last release."

    One of the top causes for my netbook's fan to become noisy.

    And nothing of value was lost.

    Am one of those guys who try to make a living out of flash games, and I can tell you that this isn't very good news for us. A couple of months ago, they withdrew flash support for mobile, and now for Linux.
    it's like Adobe wants the death of flash.

    Given the incredible breadth of Linux adoption on the desktop, I am sure that Adobe are quivering in their boots by now.
