LSARC,
I am sponsoring this project for Leon Sha of the
JDS Desktop group in Beijing, China. I have set
the timeout for Wednesday, November 19th, 2008.
The case directory contains this proposal and
Flash Player 10 release notes in PDF format.
This project proposes to integrate the Adobe Flash
Player 10 release into a Patch release of Solaris.
The updated plugin contains several bug fixes as
well as a few new features. These changes are
backward compatible with previous versions.
Thanks,
John
