Software update: Adobe AIR 1.5.2

Adobe Integrated Runtime is a cross-platform runtime environment for developing so-called ‘rich internet applications’ that can be offered as a desktop application. These applications can use Adobe Flash, Adobe Flex, HTML and Ajax and the local system resources such as the file system to store data, unlike rich internet applications that run in the internet browser. For an overview of various applications that have been developed using Adobe AIR, we refer you to the Adobe AIR marketplace. The developers have released a new version of AIR with 1.5.2 as the version number this time. The announcement of this release looks like this:

Adobe AIR 1.5.2 Now Available

We are pleased to announce that Adobe AIR 1.5.2 is now available for download. Adobe AIR 1.5.2 is a minor update that includes bug fixes related to reliability, compatibility and security. For additional details on changes from the previous release (AIR 1.5.1) including bug fixes, API changes and known issues, please see the Adobe AIR 1.5.2 developer release notes.

In addition, I encourage developers building AIR applications to read the article “Overview of the Flash Player 10.0.32 Security Update” on the Adobe Developer Connection website. This article describes some of the security-related enhancements related to both Flash Player 10.0.32 (also just released) and Adobe AIR 1.5.2.

What are we up to next? We are continuing to work hard on the next major release of Adobe AIR and we’re looking forward to sharing more details including teaser demos soon. If you have feedback on AIR 1.5.2 or in general, please let us know by dropping us a note directly using our feedback form or on the Adobe AIR discussion forum. We greatly appreciate hearing feedback from the community!
