OmniWeb Users Beware!
Authored by: PanicRoom on Sep 21, '05 11:56:56AM
A heads up for omniweb 5 users (all 3 of us):
Flash 8 is incompatible with OmniWeb 5.
After downloading Flash 8, no flash content will load at all in OW5. Not only will OW5 not play web based flash content, even locally saved .swf files refuse to load in omniweb. Omni's support page lists the Flash 8 BETA as incompatible, but it obviously applies to the currently shipping version (8,0,22,0) as well (wish I knew before I installed).
BTW, the installer screws up permissions. Hope this helps other OW5 users.

The 5.1.2 beta1 that was just release adds supports for the new flash. You can grab it here:
