Default Flash Player version (build.properties)
Hi,
I'm pretty sure this has been discussed before, but I can't find the thread...
In 'build.properties' the property 'playerglobal.version' is set to
11.1, making it the de facto default for the SDK. Isn't it time to
update that to 11.7, the current long-term support version?

I agree. Let's not change the default yet. Folks who want the latest
version can always do so in the Installer setup.
Thanks,

As far as I'm aware security patches are still being release for older Android versions and Linux versions.

Although if I read this blog right, isn't 10.x no longer supported at
all then ?

How about something like...
----------------------------------------
It is recommended that users update to the latest Adobe Flash Player. Newer versions of Adobe Flash player address security vulnerabilities, fix bugs/issues, increase stability, and implement new features.

However not everyone has the luxury of being able to update to the very latest Flash Player version - especially in a locked downed corporate environment.
With the new installer people can select the version so I think we have all bases covered.

If it were anything more than a minor update I would say always use the latest stable flash player. I mean for security reasons alone. Although I am interested in what hardware acceleration changes they've made.

Hi,
I say we stick to 11.1 this version, as we shouldn't force people to upgrade FP. Most people will install via the installer where they can select the version now so it's probably not a big issue.
Going forward 11.7 is the version that will be security fixes so there a reason to make that the default at some point.

Well, I guess we can choose the default many ways.
The lowest version the SDK will compile to ?
The lowest version supported by Adobe across all our platforms ?
The newest version supported by Adobe across all our platforms ?
The latest and greatest released version ?
There's up and down sides to both. I'd argue it should be the lowest
version number we support that Adobe provide updates for; though I'm not
sure if that's 11.1 or .2

No, I suggested 11.7 as default. Now, I'm not a native speaker and the
subtleties of the English language escape me sometimes, but I think
there is a difference?
