                      Gnash 0.8.10 Released!

 Gnash 0.8.10 has just been released. Gnash is the GNU Flash player, a
free/libre SWF movie player, with all the source code released under
GPLv3 or later. Gnash is available as both a standalone player and
also as a browser plugin for Firefox (and all other Gecko based
browsers), Chromium and Konqueror. Currently Gnash has been ported to
most GNU/Linus distros, embedded GNU/Linux, *BSD, non x86 architectures
- ARM, MIPS, PowerPC, and even 64 bit processors. And yes, Gnash plays
Youtube.

   and noise() implemented.

 * OpenVG renderer added.
 * Improved framebuffer GUI and touchscreen support.

   generated by the evil TechSmit Camtasia tool (#34625).
