Not many new things this time:

The latest beta versions of Firefox and Seamonkey are now able to print directly to printers using either native or eCups drivers.

Some of the multimedia applications have had minor upgrades.

The latest technology preview of Flash 10 still does not work correctly, at least not on my AMD SMP system.

All the best for the festive season - stay safe - keep using eComStation or OS/2!

This short podcast covers my wishes for eComStation 2.0 now that we have the GA version which are:

Win32 application support using a built in virtualisation engine (possibly the QT4 version of Virtualbox/2),

a new up to date Java version

a version of Flash 10 that works with the GA rather that claiming the code is not registered (this is a bug added in the GA code that was not in the RTM code).

While on the subject of Web Video, I point out one video site (http://www.dailymotion.com), that is beta testing an option to switch the video it streams to you from Flash to HTML5. Given Apple's refusal to support Flash on their mobile devices, I think we will start to see more sites switching to or giving the option of, video in HTML5 format - which has to be good news for eCS and OS/2 as we already have HTML5 support built into both the Firefox and SeaMonkey browsers.

By the way, don't think we have had a recording fault, the bad audio is caused by a bout of Flu I am suffering, not faulty hardware or software.
