And some new security problems, it's flash after all, and two more releases I think. So there's a "proper" 64-bit version out, if you consider flash/binary proper. On a related note, the alternative flash player lightspark has reached a "actually useful for youtube some of the time" status, and the current RC is supposed to improve this. Help me flattr the guys lightspark blog posts and you can soon ditch another binary package. :D
