This announcement by Adobe is certainly a step in the right direction. But
what large parts of the community needs is a bit more:
* Short-term: Ongoing maintenance of ASV3, where ASV is updated to support
new versions of IE, Windows, Firefox, Safari, and maybe a Linux version is
finally made available. Best case scenario would be if Adobe supplied those
updates as part of an ASV 3.0.4/etc or something like that. Next best would
be if Adobe donated ASV to an open source project so the community could
take care of itself.
* Long-term: A cross-browser solution that allows content to be developed
in conformance with the W3C/SVG standard. This would be solved if IE added
SVG support comparable to its competitors, but also could be solved via a
new browser plugin. (Incidentally, neither the Flash format nor WPF/E are
open standards. Those options are for people who don't care about standards
conformance.)

Re: [svg-developers] Adobe extends

Hi, I could not find the new date when the download would end.
I dont know if this announce has to do with the release of WPF/E
plugin but
it might not be enough.
Unless Adobe seriously commits himnself to SVG and
ASV (which would be easy considering all the efforts already done) .
It is likely that a large portion (if not all) of the SVG dev. community
depending on ASV for their business will shift to MS WPF/E rather
than flash.
