Flash Player 10.3 contains several new features and enhancements:
Measuring video just got easier. With Flash Player 10.3 and Adobe® SiteCatalyst®, developers can implement video usage analytics for websites with as little as two lines of code.Analytics solution providers can use a set of new open APIs to easily implement consistent video analytics irrespective of implementation or delivery protocol.Media Measurement for Flash allows companies to get real-time, aggregated reporting of how their video content is distributed, what the audience reach is, and how much video is played.
Flash Player 10.3 enables developers to create real-time online collaboration experiences with high-quality audio, telephony, in-game voice chat, and group conferencing applications for desktop PCs. Developers can take advantage of acoustic echo cancellation, noise suppression, and voice activity detection. This feature is only be available for desktop OSes. End users will be able to experience higher quality audio facilitating smoother conversation flow, without using a headset.
Integration with browser privacy controls for managing local storage
Users now have a simpler way to clear local storage from the browser settings interface – similar to how users clear their browser cookies today. Flash Player 10.3 integrates control of local storage with the browser’s privacy settings in Mozilla Firefox 4, Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 and higher, Google Chrome 11 (Available in Chrome Dev Channel), and a future release of Apple Safari.
Flash Player 10.3 provides users with streamlined controls for managing their Flash Player privacy, security and storage settings. Windows, Mac, and Linux users can access the Flash Player Settings Manager directly from the Control Panels or System Preferences on their computers.
Flash Player 10.3 supports automatic notification of software updates on Mac OS, making it easier for Mac users to stay current with new capabilities in the latest version of Flash Player.
For more information about configuring auto-update notifications, refer to http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/167/16701594.html.
Developers can access new APIs in the Flash Player 10.3 by making manual changes to their existing SDK/tooling configuration. To learn more about the new APIs, read the online ActionScript 3 reference documentation. Adobe Flash Professional CS5.5, Flash Builder 4.5, and Flex SDK 4.5 will not be updated for the new runtime.

[FP-1569] AS3 Timeline: Child Sprite ADDED_TO_STAGE event is fired twice. (2300936)
Microsoft sql server patches. We have many dedicated testing clusters and many servers to test deploy our service release. Critical updates are given the highest priority and are deployed immediately.Users of SQL Azure never notice these updates because their service is never interrupted (except for established SQL connections as mentioned before) and the updates do not cause a change in the SQL Azure feature set like service updates. Data Loss from UpdatesThere is no risk for data or schema loss for either service updates or operating system updates.There is no need to backup your data before a scheduled service update.You trust us to keep your data safe and we take this trust very seriously.Long before updates are deployed into production, our dedicated testing team extensively tests the updates and their deployment. Service UpdatesService updates are patches, enhancements and bugs fixes applied directly to the SQL Azure platform running on top of Windows. Service updates enhance and provide additional features to the SQL Azure platform.

Audio/Video
Stage Video accelerated rendering is always available when wmode=direct and when Flash Player is in full screen mode, regardless of wmode. Stage Video acceleration may be available in other wmode settings but it is not guaranteed.
Adobe is aware of issues with specific GPU driver versions and has notified manufacturers of any issues discovered during testing. Adobe recommends updating to the latest GPU driver versions to take advantage of the new Stage Video capabilities and other accelerated rendering features.
H.264 Video Hardware acceleration is not available on some Mac platforms. Please Refer the Apple Developer Connection technote on which Mac configurations support Hardware decoding: (http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#technotes/tn2010/tn2267.html)
H.264 Hardware decoding on Linux is available as an experimental feature and has been tested on NVidia GT 330 and Broadcom BCM70015 GPUs. Users may choose to enable hardware decoding by adding EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1 in an mms.cfg configuration file. Users may experiance instability and crashes while watching hardware accelerated video. Please report any issues to http://bugs.adobe.com/flashplayer.

Mac users may run into rendering issues with certain live streams due to an incompatibility between the stream encoding and the hardware decoder. We are aware of this issue and are working with Apple to resolve it. Users may workaround the issue by pausing and then unpausing the live stream. Developers can work around this issue by forcing the video to be decoded in software - create two Video objects, attach the stream to the first, then stop it and attach the stream to the second Video object (2819870, 2818959, 2779420).

The Adobe Flash Player is a widely distributed proprietary multimedia and application player created by Macromedia and now developed and distributed by Adobe after its acquisition. Flash Player runs SWF files that can be created by the Adobe Flash authoring tool, by Adobe Flex or by a number of other Macromedia and third party tools. Adobe Flash, or simply Flash, refers to both a multimedia authoring program and the Adobe Flash Player, written and distributed by Adobe, that uses vector and raster graphics, a native scripting language called ActionScript and bidirectional streaming of video and audio. Strictly speaking, Adobe Flash is the authoring environment and Flash Player is the virtual machine used to run the Flash files, but in colloquial language these have become mixed: Flash can mean either the authoring environment, the player, or the application files. Flash Player has support for an embedded scripting language called ActionScript (AS), which is based on ECMAScript. Since its inception, ActionScript has matured from a script syntax without variables to one that supports object-oriented code, and may now be compared in capability to JavaScript (another ECMAScript-based scripting language).
Adobe Flash Player Features

- Create high-performance, real-time effects for cinematic experiences that quickly engage users.
