Adobe Systems released a preview version of its widely used Flash Player plug-in that catches up to newer trends in Web browser development: 64-bit designs and support for the newly Internet Explorer 9 beta.
The new Flash beta, code-named Square, is available for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux, siad Adobe's Paul Betlem in a blog post today. The download is on Adobe Labs; note that if you install Square, you'll have to manually update it on your own.
The move isn't a big surprise--in June, the Adobe said 64-bit Flash is a "top priority"--but it will mean a major transition for Web developers. And it's important in Adobe's effort to maintain Flash's incumbent power in light of new Web standards that offer many Flash abilities without a browser plug-in.
