+The third alpha release of Gnash. Improvements since the 0.7.2 release
+are: 
+
+* Streaming video works with YouTube and Lulu.tv! This has been the
+focus for the majority of the time since the last release.
+* Many core improvments in the VM as our understanding of Flash
+improves. These all improve both the correctness of a movie that is
+being played, but enebles more movies to play that used to not work.
+* New FLTK2 gui.
+* Simple Flash debugger added.
+* Improved Darwin support that can use the system OpenGL.
+* Flash extensions, direct support for file handling, MySQL access,
+etc.. through plugins to the Gnash VM. Wrappers for any C/C++ API
+libraries can be exported into ActionScript, and used as native
+commands in a Flash movie.
+* Updated manuals.
+* Many new testcases! Support for testing with ming, swfmill, amd
+mtasc compilers.
+* New drawing API for MovieClips..

+Platforms Supported:
+--------------------
+
+Gnash has been ported to a wide variety of hardware and operating
+systems. Primary platforms that get the most support are most of
+the GNU/Linux distributions, but Ubuntu, Fedora, and Debian primarily.
+OpenBSD is also adequately maintained, but Gnash is known to run on
+FreeBSD and NetBSD systems as well. There are also ports to Beos,
+Haiku, OS/2, Irix, Solaris, and OpenEmbedded.
+
+There are ports of the standalone player to Darwin and Win32. Both
+require adding the dependent libraries Gnash needs. Work has started
+on a native Darwin (Aqua/Carbon/OpenGL) GUI so most of these packages
+won't be required. The win32 player can be built with VC++, or
+Mingw32. 
+
+Gnash has also been ported to a variety of embedded devices, most
+running variations of OpenEmbedded. These include several custom
+hardware platforms aimed at educational software for children. Better
+known devices are the Sharp Zaurus family of PDAs (reflashed to run Open
+Zaurus), the Nokia 770/800, the OLPC and the Pepper Pad 3, that both
+run a trimmed down Fedora.
+
+64bit systems Gnash has been known to run on are the Itanium,
+UltraSparc, PowerPC, AMD64, MIPS. Embedded systems include several ARM
+variants, MIPS, and the Geode GX.
