Flash Player 9 beta 3 is around the corner

Flash Player 8.5 will soon change name in favour of Flash Player 9.
this i what Adobe Labs let us know. In my opinion this is a significant change in the upcoming release due to huge new features included in the Flash Player 9 (ECMAScript Edition 4-based ActionScript 3.0 language and a new ActionScript Virtual Machine (AVM2)).

Q. What will be the name of the upcoming release of Flash Player?
A. The next release of Flash Player will ship as Flash Player 9. During beta releases on Adobe Labs, this player was known as Flash Player 8.5.

Q. Why was the name changed from Flash Player 8.5 to Flash Player 9?
A. As previously announced, the features of this release include the ECMAScript Edition 4-based ActionScript 3.0 language and a new ActionScript Virtual Machine (AVM2), which dramatically exceeds the performance of previous players. Flash Player 9 better reflects the significance of the advancements to the runtime environment to our customers and the market. This also allows us to maintain consistency between the player version and the file format version as we have in previous releases. The SWF file format for this release is version 9.

The features of this release remain the same; the only change is to the version number. Instead of shipping as Flash Player 8.5, the player will ship as Flash Player 9. There will not be a version 8.5 release.

Q. When will this naming change take effect?
A.. The first public release to include this change will be the beta 3 release on Adobe Labs.
