***NEW VERSION***

Afternoon, all.

32 & 64-bit versions of 24.0.0.221 are now available. Link as usual in post #1. Help yourselves as usual.

Don't forget, there is now a .pet available to upgrade Pepper in 64-bit Iron.

Any problems, you know where to find me. For anybody using it, my 32-bit version of SlimJet takes the same PepperFlash .pet as Oscar's Tahrpup version...placing it in /opt/google/slimjet/PepperFlash.

No need to manually upgrade in Chrome from version 54 onwards.....it's now handled internally by the browser's built-in updater, and will upgrade all by itself. :) See the Chrome SFS thread for details.

Enjoy.

hey Mike, i've started mirroring some of your work in the browsers section of my repo--so far i've got chrome and your 64 bit iron and slimjet packages (i put the pepperflash pets in their browser folders and this seems as efficient a place as any to make the announcement--thanks for all your work).

as far as testing--i've got one machine running tahr 64 that runs all three fine. i've got an older machine doing the same but with autosaves disabled--that one can't run slimjet for some reason, but iron is excellent on it. both these machines have over five gig of ram. on a third running tahr64 with 1.8 gig, all three of these browsers run but i prefer the lighter palemoon.

thanks again (i've been making heavy use of slimjet on one machine and iron on another lately---it's nice that someone has taken this upon themselves.)
:D

Hiya, Puppus.

That's very good of you! Mind you, it never hurts with all this stuff to have them in multiple locations. I use MediaFire as my main cloud a/c, with a secondary back-up of important stuff on my Google Drive. DataFileHost gets a look-in, too, since I sometimes use that for short-term sharing of individual items.

And that's on top of having a copy of everything on a USB Seagate HDD here at home, which I keep tucked away in the back of a cupboard.....

---------------------------------------------------------------

As for the browsers, well; Chrome has been my primary browser almost since the day it was released back in 2008. Oscar got me interested in SlimJet a while back, and Iron, too, a bit later (thanks also to slavvo67). Since I run 64-bit Pups (Tahr & Slacko), and Oscar appears to mainly do 32-bit stuff, I thought I'd take a crack at them... Glad to hear they're working for you!

Since they all work with yr Google a/c, that's why I use 'em all myself.

Many thanks!

Hi, musher0.

Now you've got me wondering... I don't produce one specifically for Vivaldi, so,er.....just out of curiosity, which one did you use?

Hi Mike.

I downloaded and successfully installed for Vivaldi your pet named
Chrome-PepperFlash-25.0.0.171-i386.pet, from here:
https://www.mediafire.com/folder/6sy2y7 ... 6iya8in8ix

As I said above, this one works great with Vivaldi, probably because
Vivaldi has a Chrome "heart"!

IHTH.

BFN.

Hello again, MIke.

your pet works with the just out Vivaldi 1.9
as well as with the older guy, Vivaldi 1.7.

Morning, musher0.

Yes, that's the thing I realised quite a while back, when I first started researching the subject for this thread. Ever since Google dropped the NPAPI plug-in interface, and made the 'Pepper' PPAPI one standard for Chrome, that interface hasn't changed.

The very first all-Pepper releases of Chrome (around version 25 or 26.....and we're currently approaching version 60) will still work with the newest releases of the Pepper plug-in. I have version 26 of Chrome running in Lucid 5.2.8.7 (the newest version that will still run in it, because of the age of the glibc), and it, too, is currently using 25.0.0.171.....despite the fact that it originally used version 12-something-or-other.

It's not much, but it does allow you to keep at least one attack vector closed... As the saying goes, 'Every little bit helps'!

I've fixed a long-standing 'issue' with the 64-bit Chromium PepperFlash .pets, which only just occurred to me last night. Since Chromium is the only one out of these that installs to /usr/lib, that means /usr/lib64 in these versions. Tahr64 has a sym-link from /usr/lib64 to /usr/lib, so it wouldn't make any difference.....but Slacko64 doesn't, so the location needs to be correct. I don't know about Xenial; I assume it's the same as Tahr. Can anyone confirm this, please?

Pepper now installs into /usr/lib64/Chromium/PepperFlash. All this time, and nobody's said anything..... (*shakes head*)

Curiously, Iron wants Pepper in /usr/lib, regardless of architecture. A query for the SRWare devs, perhaps... :P

Sorry for the delay in releasing this one. Adobe caught me 'on the hop' by releasing 2 upgrades within 72 hours.....and I just haven't had time to package this until now.

Apologies... :oops:
