Gnash 0.8.4 released

Russ Nelson — 2008-10-14T00:09:57

The third beta release of Gnash has just been made at version 0.8.4. Gnash is a GPL'd SWF movie player and browser plugin for Firefox, Mozilla, and Konqueror. Gnash supports many SWF v7 features and ActionScript 2 classes. with growing support for SWF v8 and v9. Gnash also runs on many GNU/Linux distributions, embedded GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, non x86 processors, and 64 bit architectures. Ports to Darwin and Windows are in progress for a future release. The plugin works best with Firefox 1.0.4 or newer, and should work in any Mozilla based browser using NPAPI. There is also a standalone player for GNOME or KDE based desktops. Improvements since 0.8.3 release are: * Keep Adobe happy with our users and our users happy with us by changing "Flash player" into "SWF player" everywhere. Adobe claims "Flash" as a trademark and had asked a Linux distributor to fix it. * The popular SWF Twitter badge now renders correctly. * Fix parsing of urls containing multiple question marks * Fix support for movies embedding multiple sound streams * Support for loading PNG and GIF images added. * Improved rendering of SWF movies because of the less visible changes listed below. * Support for writing RGB/RGBA PNG images and JPEG images. * Works with Potlatch OpenStreetMap editor * New 'flvdumper' utility for analyzing FLV video files. * XPI packaging support for Mozilla & Firefox. See the NEWS file for more improvements. Gnash supports the majority of Flash opcodes up to SWF version 7, and a wide sampling of ActionScript 2 classes for SWF version 8.5. Flash version 9 and ActionScript 3 support is being worked on. All the core ones are implemented, and many of the newer ones work, but may be missing some of their methods. If the browser only displays a blank window, it is likely because of an unimplemented feature. All unimplemented opcodes and ActionScript classes and methods print a warning when using -v with gnash or gprocessor. Using gprocessor -v is a quick way to see why a movie isn't playing correctly. You can grab the Gnash sources from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gnash/0.8.4, or from Gnash Bzr from the branch .../gnas-0.8.4 . Binary packages for Debian or RPM based systems will be available from your GNU/Linux distribution, and from whatever BSD variant you are using. Experimental binary packages built by the Gnash team are also available at http://www.getgnash.org, along with source snapshots. Please report packaging bugs upstream to your distribution. If you think you have found a bug in Gnash, then you should file as complete a report as possible at https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=gnash. Patches are always preferred to bug reports, as this is a community project.

For bugs in the plugin, please also add the browser and it's version. Gnash does not support Firefox versions below 1.0.4.

The undefined symbols are coming from Totem, not Gnash. Bastiaan On Sun, 21 Sep 2008, Harald Weis wrote:

No, the missing instruction is a Valgrind bug. http://www.nabble.com/-Bug-135264--New:-dcbzl-instruction-missing-td6697340.html Bastiaan On Sat, 20 Sep 2008, Markus Gothe wrote:
