I haven't kept strictly up to date, but it's my understanding that |
20 |
since then a new 64bit version has been released. And some new |
21 |
security problems, it's flash after all, and two more releases I |
22 |
think. So there's a "proper" 64-bit version out, if you consider |
23 |
flash/binary proper. |

On a related note, the alternative flash player lightspark has reached |
26 |
a "actually useful for youtube some of the time" status, and the |
27 |
current RC is supposed to improve this. Help me flattr the guys |
28 |
lightspark blog posts and you can soon ditch another binary package. |
