The fourth alpha release of Gnash has just been made at version 0.8.1. Gnash is a GPL'd Flash movie player and browser plugin for Firefox, Mozilla, Konqueror, and Opera. Gnash supports many SWF v7 features and ActionScript2 classes. Gnash also runs on many GNU/Linux distributions, embedded GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, non x86 processors, and 64 bit architectures. Ports to Darwin and Windows are in progress for a future release. The plugin works best with Firefox
1.0.4 or newer, and should work in any Mozilla based browser. There is also a standalone player for GNOME or KDE based desktops.

>>So how does it compare to swfdec...?
>They're both quite incomplete yet. I think swfdec is more realistic by calling its version 0.5.1 than gnash calling it 0.8.1, but anyway, they're getting there gradually.
Another basic difference is the license.
One is GPL while the other is LGPL.
