Stage 3D Accelerated Graphics Rendering (Player & AIR desktop + AIR for TV)
Stage 3D is a new architecture for hardware accelerated graphics rendering developed that provides a set of low-level APIs that enable advanced 2D and 3D rendering capabilities across screens and devices (desktop, mobile, and TV). Using Stage 3D, app and framework developers can now access high performance GPU hardware acceleration, enabling the creation of new classes of rich, interactive experiences. Note: Stage 3D for mobile versions of Flash Player & AIR will be enabled in a future releaseEnter your state here.
Flash Access Content Protection Support for Mobile
Flash Access content protection support is now available on mobile devices including Android powered smartphones and tablets. In addition, content protection is now supported on tablet devices powered by the BlackBerry® Tablet OS. Note: Flash Access for iOS is not supported at this time.
Flash Access Content Protection Enhancements
New Flash Access content protection features include key rotation support, V3 license chaining, domain support and enhanced output protection and device filtering.
Protected HTTP Dynamic Streaming (HDS)
Protected HTTP Dynamic Streaming (HDS) provides protection for streaming video across screens while eliminating the deployment complexity of a license server.
NetStream.dispose()
Similar to NetStream.close() except that it also clears up the last frame held up by NetStream to be displayed on the Video object. Use this instead of NetStream.close() if the NetStream is to be re-used for other streams later. It enforces garbage collection of the video frame and related decompressor objects. The video object will display a blank frame after the use of this method.
H.264/AVC Software Encoding for Cameras (desktop)
Stream high-quality video from your computer's camera with higher compression efficiency and industry stanard support, enabling both immersive real-time communications such as video chat/conferencing and live video broadcasts.
JPEG-XR support
Flash Player and AIR now include support for the JPEG-XR advanced image compression standard (International Standard ISO/IEC 29199-2). The computationally lightweight JPEG-XR format provides more efficient compression than JPEG, enables both lossy and lossless compression support, and adds support for alpha channel transparency.
Enhanced high resolution bitmap support
BitmapData objects are no longer limited to a maximum resolution of 16 megapixels (16,777,215 pixels), and maximum bitmap width/height is no longer limited to 8,191 pixels, enabling the development of apps that utilize very large bitmaps.
High efficiency SWF compression support
Developers can now take advantage of LZMA compression for their SWF files. LZMA compression can reduce SWF size by up to 40%, enabling users to benefit from richer experiences with shorter download times and reduced bandwidth consumption.
G.711 Audio Compression for Telephony
Support interoperability with legacy phone systems via the Flash Media Gateway (FMG) and other third-party clients (through the open RTMP protocol) without the need for transcoding.
Native JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) Support
Allows ActionScript developers to take advantage of high performance native parsing and generation of JSON-formatted data.
Garbage Collection Advice
Provides smoother, more responsive user experiences by allowing developers to provide hints to optimize garbage collection scheduling.
Cubic Bezier Curves
The cubicCurveTo drawing API allows developers to easily create complex cubic Beziers without requiring custom ActionScript code.
Secure Random Number Generator
Developers can now take advantage of cryptographically secure random number generation to build more secure algorithms and protocols.
Socket Progress Events
Improve management of data transfer using the Socket class by providing a new property to determine the number of bytes remaining in the write buffer and a new event for when data is being sent to the network layer. Using these new APIs, developers can build applications such as file transfer utilities that monitor socket progress and provide responsive feedback.
DisplayObjectContainer.removeChildren and MovieClip.isPlaying
DisplayObjectContainer now implements a removeChildren API allowing developers to quickly remove all of a container's children using a single API call. A new MovieClip.isPlaying property returns the MovieClip's current playing state.
New Features in Flash Player
Native 64-bit Support (Flash Player desktop) — Take advantage of native support for 64-bit operating systems and 64-bit web browsers on Linux, Mac OS, and Windows.
Asynchronous Bitmap Decoding (new for Flash Player) — Improve app responsiveness and deliver smoother animation by decoding images on initial load instead of on demand. Images are cached as needed.
TLS Secure Sockets Support (new for Flash Player) — Enables secure communications for client/server applications.

How to remove apps downloaded from 'Latest version of Adobe Flash Player' scam pages on Mac computers
What is 'Latest version of Adobe Flash Player'?
Displayed by various scam websites, 'Latest version of Adobe Flash Player' is a deceptive message employed to trick visitors into using a fake Adobe Flash Player installer, which actually installs a potentially unwanted application (PUA) such as, for example, a browser hijacker or adware-type app. These fake installers are commonly designed to install multiple PUAs. In some cases, they install malicious software including ransomware, Trojans, or other high-risk malware. In any case, never download or install software or files from these websites. Browsers usually open websites of this type due to PUAs that are already installed.
When opened, websites of this type display a pop-up window claiming that Adobe Flash Player is out of date and encouraging visitors to update it. The other pop-up windows states that Adobe Flash Player is out of date, but also does not include the latest security updates and cannot be used (until visitors download and install an updated version). Typically, these scam pages download a file called 'AdobeFlashPlayerInstaller.dmg'. This filename name might vary. Note that files downloaded from these pages do not install any new/legitimate versions of Adobe Flash Player - they simply install browser hijackers, adware or multiple PUAs. Typically, browser hijackers promote fake search engines by changing certain setting and collecting browsing related data such as geolocations, entered search queries, addresses of visited websites, IP addresses and other details. In some cases, PUAs can access and record personal information. Adware commonly tracks information and feeds users with intrusive ads, usually in the form of coupons, banners, pop-ups, surveys, and so on. People who click these ads are redirected to dubious web pages or cause download/installation of unwanted, potentially malicious software. Fake Adobe Flash Player installers can cause installation of ransomware - software that encrypts data. Typically, victims cannot use their files unless they pay a ransom to cyber criminals. Furthermore, rogue installers can infect systems with Trojans - these programs often install other malware, thereby causing chain infections. In summary, no software should be downloaded or installed through these scam websites.
| Name | Latest version of Adobe Flash Player pop-up |
| Threat Type | Phishing, Scam, Mac malware, Mac virus. |
| Fake Claim | Websites of this type claim that Adobe Flash Player is out of date. |
| Promoted Unwanted Applications | Browser hijackers, adware, Trojans, ransomware and other unwanted, potentially malicious software. |
| Symptoms | Your Mac becomes slower than normal, you see unwanted pop-up ads, you are redirected to dubious websites. |
| Distribution methods | Deceptive pop-up ads, free software installers (bundling), fake Flash Player installers, torrent file downloads. |
| Damage | Internet browser tracking (potential privacy issues), display of unwanted ads, redirects to dubious websites, loss of private information. |
| Malware Removal (Mac) | To eliminate possible malware infections, scan your Mac with legitimate antivirus software. Our security researchers recommend using Combo Cleaner. |
Other examples of similar pages include streamoverlyquickprogram[.]com, reliableultimatesafevideoplayers[.]info and biggerupdateforvideos[.]best. All suggest that there is a new version of Adobe Flash Player available and encourage visitors to download it from them. In fact, none download a legitimate Adobe Flash Player installer - they download a fake installer that installs unwanted, potentially malicious software. As mentioned, these scam websites are usually opened by PUAs that are installed on the browser and/or operating system.
How did potentially unwanted applications install on my computer?
In most cases PUAs are downloaded and installed when people intentionally (or unintentionally) click deceptive advertisements or download/install programs without changing settings that are available in the set-ups. Typically, developers distribute PUAs using a deceptive marketing method called 'bundling'. I.e., they include PUAs into various download/installation set-ups and present them as additional offers. Typically, these offers can be found in 'Advanced', 'Custom', and other settings of the set-ups. Unfortunately, many people leave these unchanged, thereby agreeing by default with offers to download or install additional (unwanted) applications. Clicking ads can cause download/installation of PUAs, since some ads execute rogue scripts (note that they cannot do this without being clicked).
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications
Software should be downloaded from official websites and using direct download links. Third party downloaders, installers, unofficial websites, Peer-to-Peer networks (e.g., torrent clients, eMule), and other such tools/channels should not be trusted - they are often monetized by promoting various unwanted applications. Furthermore, unwanted downloads and installations can be prevented by declining offers to download or install unwanted apps (these are often listed in 'Custom', 'Advanced' and other settings included in the set-ups). Do not click intrusive ads, especially if shown on dubious web pages - they can redirect people to untrusted web pages or download/install unwanted software. If the browser opens dubious web pages or displays unwanted ads, we recommend that you remove all suspicious, unwanted extensions, plug-ins and add-ons immediately. Also remove programs of this kind from the operating system. If your computer is already infected with PUAs, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for macOS to automatically eliminate them.
