Swfdec 0.7.2 has been released

"Finally, only 3 months late, here is the first release of Swfdec's unstable 0.7 series.

Swfdec is a decoder/renderer for Adobe Flash animations. It is provided as a library and a set of tools, like the Mozilla browser plugin.

MD5: 7624b5642c947fb054273f091a1d970c

The most visible new thing in Swfdec is the ability to enter text in text fields and the fact that pushing the fullscreen button on Youtube will give you a full screen video. But most work was spent on the debugging framework and script interpretation conformance. See the NEWS file for more details.

MD5: 3bc6a49357b4b8b478ce3dfb4f007f18

The mozilla plugin saw some long-requested features. It now remembers which files the user clicked on to play them and autoplays them the next time. Also, it is the first plugin to support windowless mode on Linux, so all stacking problems should now be a thing of the past. However, the windowless mode is not yet perfect and can cause problems with Mozilla-based browsers. We are working on it.

Even though this is a development release, Swfdec still follows the no-crashes-allowed policy. Should you still succeed in finding a crasher, please immediately file a bug at https://bugs.freedesktop.org.

Blurb:
=====
Swfdec is the library for decoding and rendering Flash animations. It is still in heavy development. The intended audience are developers or people using it for pretested Flash animations (think embedded here). If you use it on unknown content, expect it to have issues and don't be surprised if it crashes. If you encounter such a crash however, make sure to file a bug immediately.

PySwfdec is a wrapper which exposes the Swfdec API to the python world. It is fairly complete; most of the API are covered.

The documentation is a work in progress, needs quite a lot of work in order to cover 100% of the API, anyway help will be greatly appreciated.

Like the GTK+ library, PyGTK and Swfdec itself PySwfdec is licensed under the GNU LGPL, so is suitable for use in both free software and proprietary applications."
