Earlier this week, Adobe announced the release of AIR 1.5. There are 3 highlighted features in this update along with some bug fixes.
Encrypted local database
“While encrypting data in AIR has been possible since AIR 1.0, using the Encrypted Local Store (ELS)—the new encryption support—offers better support for encrypted larger data files and is generally more convenient since many developers prefer to persist using the local database.”
Flash Player 10 capabilities
“We’ve updated the version of Flash Player included with AIR to version 10.”
WebKit update - Squirrelfish
“Our internal tests show that HTML-based AIR applications run as much as 35% faster for many types of operations.”
Major Adobe Authoring software also have available updates to support AIR 1.5, these include Adobe Flash CS4 Professional, Flex Builder 3 and Dreamweaver CS4. There is also an update for Aptana.
