Release Notes:

-{ Quote: "Key new capabilities in Flash Player 10.3 include:

• Media Measurement – Measuring video just got easier. With Flash Player 10.3 and
Adobe® SiteCatalyst®, developers can implement video 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.

• Acoustic Echo Cancellation – Flash Player 10.3 enables developers to create real-time
online collaboration experiences with high-quality audio, such as telephony, in-game
voice chat, and group conferencing applications for desktop PCs. Developers can take
advantage of acoustic echo cancellation, noise suppression, voice activity detection, and
automatic compensation for various microphone input levels. 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, and future releases of Apple Safari and Google Chrome1.

• Native Control Panel – 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.

• Auto-Update Notification for Mac OS – 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. " }-

Would be nice to see what's changed between beta 1 and beta 2. I'm assuming the exploit that was recently fixed in 10.2 will be fixed in beta 2.

Just want to add, this new beta is AWE-SOME! Finally I can have BetterPrivacy functionality in IE, and remove 1 more extension from firefox.

For those of you confused, the 10.3 beta respects your "delete cookies on browser close" setting and "block 3rd party cookies" setting and applies them to flash.
