XENOPHILE  WTF is this brutalization of the english language supposed to mean: "Version 11.5.0.600 includes no changes in features or functionality. Some small elements of the plugin, which in no way affect the multimedia engine, installations, or other performance aspects, have been updated."

If these "small elements of the plugin" affect neither the plug-in's installation, nor its features, functionality, or performance, then WTF are they included at all? Is this the spyware/malware element of the plugin?

Adobe's marketing language manages to tell us everything we don't want or need to know, namely, what's new? I suspect the "what's new" is something that most of us probably wouldn't want on our systems, and something all of us definitely would want the installer to require informed authorization to install.

JON555  So the release notes keep saying there is no real changes being made, so what's the point of updating it? What exactly is changing?  
(Version 11.5.0.596)

BOUSOZOKU  I can repeat my comment from 11.5.0.595. This doesn't work. It hangs Safari while downloading and installing the Xtra Package. The second time I tried it, it asked for permission, something that didn't happen the first time.

It doesn't even go that far with Firefox 3.x, though.

Whoever is in charge of testing must have worked for the defense industry.

ILGAZ  For some reason, when Universal binary shipped, Havok 3d scene, a very important framework/add in disappeared.

Guess why? Havok, which is PART OF INTEL, didn't care to code Intel version of their plugin. What makes me nuts is, we, PPC users got victim of this stupidity too. Upgrade to Shockwave 11, lose one of very important framework which makes shockwave games natively 3d etc.

As result, pool 3d like games won't work.

I(POWER)MAC  The annoying bug that was present in the previous release has been removed, and now the sound works again fine.  
(Version 11.5.0.596)

BOUSOZOKU  Since installing, I tried a couple of the games at www.candystand.com and they no longer work at all through Firefox 3 and through Safari, it shows the Shockwave for Director logo and looks as though it's going to download more (full install?) to complete the package but Safari is hung now.

I'd say that the updates have had a huge effect on performance. Adobe, get your act together.

LEPPE  @3LUSIV3:

Well, try Googling for Shockwave games.

There are many websites where you can play AAA-games (Quake1-3, Half Life, RtCW, Deus Ex, Doom, Warcraft, etc.), but you need Shockwave.

I remember the discussion when Apple switched to Intel. A year after the switch there was still no Shockwave player for Intel Macs. People needed to launch Safari in Rosetta mode if they wanted to play a shockwave game or for viewing a shockwave web site.

Here are a few links:

3LUSIV3  I don't get it. Do we need shockwave? What's the difference between shockwave and flash?  
(Version 11.0.3.472)

JON55  What are the changes for this release?  
(Version 11.0.3.470)

BDOG  Why is there a "Slim" version that may not include the XTRA(s) you need? Here is a link to the "Full" version.

Adobe: Stop distributing a "Slim" version, it's useless.
