Enhanced Audio APIs
This is one that I need to find out exactly what has changed. In the first beta you could dynamically generate audio using the new samples callback function. You can check out the tutorial that I did at gotoAndLearn() for more information on this. I will update this as soon as I know more.Limited Fullscreen Keyboard Access
This is a huge one for those of you who want to make fullscreen games! You can now receive key events for non-printing keys such as arrows, shift, enter, tab, space, etc.Loader.unloadAndStop
This new loader method will make garbage collecting SWF files much easier. Grant Skinner has written about the issues extensively and the Player team has listened. This new method adds unload functionality similar to the unload behavior in ActionScript 2.0. After calling unloadAndStop on loaded content it will be immediately removed stopping all audio, removing eventListeners, and becoming inaccessible through ActionScript.Video4Linux v2 Support
Support for the Video4Linux v2 (V4L2) camera API has been added. I’m not sure what that is, but if you’re on Linux you probably do.Linux WMODE
Flash Player for Linux now supports windowless mode (transparent and opaque). Windowless mode means proper blending between SWFs and the HTML above and below the SWF content. Windowless mode on Linux requires the latest Firefox 3 to work.
