HI Tom,

Thanks so much for this update! It's good to hear that it is on the
list of things to be adressed at all, can't remember hearing that
before in such a firm way.

Can Adobe give an idea of when the next release might happen that just
might contain Unicode support? I know it's difficult to say, but e.g.
this could mean the difference between starting a huge project
converting either a complete project to Flash, or just the text input
files (which is in itself hardly any less effort). By huge I mean
about 6 months worth of work.

Are we talking weeks, month, end of year, early next years, summer
2007? Or are any timings still undecided!

Thanks, Tom!

Nik

Well, very similar to Macromedia, Adobe doesn't allow "firm commitment"
to release features this far ahead of the next major release so I cannot
say yes/no for sure on any specific feature. What I can tell you is that
Unicode support (along with general text improvements) are about as high
on my list as you can get (ok, they sit there right next to thoughts of
a 3D update, UB Mac and Windows Vista support). My main goal when
thinking about future releases is about solidifying the product that's
there today and not chasing swanky new media types, a huge part of that
is becoming a current, modern application with Unicode support.
