As with Flash Player 10, this release also supports Windows 7 and Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) desktop operating systems.

The consistent Flash Player browser-based runtime is the most productive way to deliver content to users across operating systems and devices.

Runtime consistency helps reduce the cost of creating, testing and deploying content across different device, software, network, and user contexts, and helps improve business results.

This work includes performance improvements, such as rendering, scripting, memory, start-up time, battery and CPU optimizations, in addition to hardware acceleration of graphics and video.

Improvements in memory utilization and management, start-up time, CPU usage, and renderingscripting performance benefit PCs as well as mobile devices.

Multi-touch and gestures Developers can take advantage of the latest hardware and operating system user interaction capabilities using new ActionScript 3.0 APIs for multi-touch and native gesture events.

Create multi-touch aware content for a wide range of devices as well as multi-touch capable PCs running Microsoft Windows 7.

Interact with multiple objects simultaneously or work with native gestures, such as pinch, scroll, rotate, scale, and two-finger tap.

Adobe is actively working with its partners to enable multi-touch on additional desktop platforms.) H.264 video hardware decoding Flash Player 10.1 introduces hardware-based H.264 video decoding to deliver smooth, high quality video with minimal overhead across mobile devices and PCs.

Flash Player 10 Chrome Code Video Offloads

Using available hardware to decode video offloads tasks from the CPU, improving video playback performance, reducing system resource utilization, and preserving battery life.

Improve application reliability and user experience by catching and handling unexpected runtime errors and present custom error messages.

When using the global error handler in a SWF running in the debug player, error pop-ups will not be shown.

Globalization support New ActionScript 3.0 globalization APIs allow Flash Player to use the values chosen in the operating system preferences to process text and lists and present information based on location context, without any knowledge of locale requirements.

Choose a specific format independent of the currently selected locale on the operating system.

Locale specific information and processing can include: date, time, currency and number formatting; currency and number parsing; string comparison for sorting or searching for text; and upperlower case conversions.

Browser privacy mode (desktop only) To help protect user privacy, Flash Player 10.1 adds support for the private browsing mode found in many web browsers.

In private browsing mode, Flash Player will not save any information (local storage, or local shared objects) to a users computer.

Since the browser also does not remember any history while in private browsing mode, this allows users to hide their activity from other users sharing the same machine.
