Astro, which has no set final release date, has several new features Adobe hopes will help maintain the plug-in's dominance among an ever-expanding group of competitive rich Internet application platforms and development methodologies, including Microsoft Silverlight, Ajax, and Sun's forthcoming JavaFX.

Among the new features in this edition of Flash Player are support for new 3D rendering effects, Adobe Pixel Blender filters, new drawing APIs, and an advanced text rendering engine. Flash Player 10 has also expanded use of graphics processing unit (GPU) hardware acceleration.
