Today, I fetched the repo sources for the "HEAD" version of gnash, built and installed it, and I must say, it's working far better than the latest release version (0.8.3). Sites that wouldn't work properly before are now displaying beautifully. Here's a good example of a site that would break before, but works now: http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/units/addiction/drugs/mouse.cfm See http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/#downloading for info on how to obtain the sources. You'll need to install devel/bazaar-ng (yes, yet another version control system!) to fetch the code. To configure, I ran "gnash -V" using the existing (0.8.3) version and copied the configuration switches from the resulting output. Then ran gmake to build and install (after pkg_deleting the old version, of course). I'm pleased with the results. Still not 100% perfect, but a whole heck of a lot better. -- PROOF OF GOD #391.
