Here are a few major (and way overdue) improvements I have observed so far: - More acceptable mac performance - Bitmap caching - Advanced text antialiasing (about freaking time) - Dynamic movieclip filters (Gaussian Blur, Motion Blur etc) I've always stayed a player version behind, but these features make it hard to resist jumping ahead! Hey Greg,

I have found that while there are only some minor improvements and bugfixes in the IDE, the focal point of the upgrade is the player. Here are a few major (and way overdue) improvements I have observed so far:

- More acceptable mac performance
- Bitmap caching
- Advanced text antialiasing (about freaking time)
- Dynamic movieclip filters (Gaussian Blur, Motion Blur etc)

I’ve always stayed a player version behind, but these features make it hard to resist jumping ahead!

This update is probably the biggest update since Flash 5 (and arguably even better than that).
