There is good news for Flash users with Macs, as Adobe has announced the release of a new beta Flash Player update that will be compatible with their computers. Back in late March, the company released silent updates for Flash Player that were compatible with Windows, as well as announcing their plans to enable the same feature for OS X. They have now succeeded in these plans, having announced that silent updates for Mac computers are now available. This newly created silent Mac update will run the same way as the Windows version. It pings Adobe’s servers once every hour until it receives a response. Once it reaches Adobe, it will check for any available updates and if none are found, it will try again in 24 hours.

Once the Mac tool finds an available update, this will run in the background, without the user being notified or having to take any action. That means that when a Mac user is surfing the web on a site like O2.co.uk or checking their e-mails, they will not be disturbed by update notifications on the screen. Flash 11.3 has this silent update setting switched on by default, so users will not even have to think about how to enable this. However, if a user does want to receive notifications, they can easily change the setting so that they still receive on-screen alerts.

Since Adobe made the tool for silent updates of Flash Player available on Windows, the company has also released updates. One recent one was necessary to patch a “zero-day” vulnerability that had already been found by attackers. Those who use Google Chrome will be unaffected by silent updates, due to the fact that Chrome updates Adobe software and Flash Player via its own service that runs in the background.

Hi,

The first version with SEO friendly urls are now running in the demos!

now

http://www.tinywebgallery.com/demo/twg_image/01_Administration/Configuration.gif

is used instead of the old

http://www.tinywebgallery.com/demo/index.php?twg_album=01_Administration&twg_show=Configuration.gif

is used.

Currently I still work on changing most of the urls to this format.

When this is done TWG 2.0 will be released!

As you might know I also do some nice plugins for WordPress.

As addon for the advanced iframe I have implemented a checker which looks for the header which prevents that a page can be included in an iframe.

If you get a white page when you include a page you can now check if this is the problem.

Test your page here:

Hi,

TFU/JFUploder 3.0.2 are available.

Please update to this versions! It fixes a problem with TFU 3.0 and 3.0.1 where I made a security restriction too tight!

It is now also 100% compatible with php 5.4.x!

So please update to this version. I actually changed the version check on my server for 3.x today. So you get a message that a new version is available.

The update server settings are not online yet. I still test them and they will be available in the next days as well.

Have fun using TFU/JFUploader,

Hi,

Since today I run the Javascript error logging script from muscula.com on the demo for 1.9

This makes it possible that I get all Javascript errors reported that happen in the demo. So I get feedback for errors I have not found because of a different OS, different browser ….

I have updated the demo to 1.9 already which runs jquery 1.9.1 and do so get any problems with this as well .

I will run this from now on and 1.9 will be released when no errors will be reported anymore …

Have fun using TWG,

Hi,

As you might know I also do some nice plugins for WordPress.

The coolest one is the advanced iframe where you can include any webpage with an iframe.

But it also can modify the parent page, the page itself and now in version 3.0 directly embed a page with jquery.

If you use WordPress you should take a look:

Have fun using this plugin,

Best, Michael

Hi TFU users,

I did some additional tests with php 5.4 and added 2 fixes. So if you use php 5.4.x please update TFU 3.0

• Fix: Added a debug message if the class COM is not available. This is needed ffor image magick on windows. You have to add extension=php_com_dotnet.dll to your php.ini to make it available again.
• Fix: “imagejpeg(): Filename cannot be empty” error message with php 5.4 was fixed!

The Joomla versions JFUploader 3.0 in the forum already include this version! I currently update the website for JFUploader and then a new release will be officially available.

Have fun using TFU,

Michael
