GREAT NEWS:

Adobe Connect 8.1.2 is being rolled out throughout August for Adobe Hosted customers.

It was released yesterday for download for on-premise customers and can be downloaded from this location which includes instructions: 

http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/911/cpsid_91151.html

This technote also lists the issues fixed. This is a major effort and we recommend this update which takes minutes to do.

(It assumes and requires that you have updated your Adobe Connect Server to version 8.1.1 first)

Also important to consider:

ADOBE PRESENTER 7.07 IS A MAJOR UPGRADE AND FIXES A WHOLE LOT OF INSTALL ISSUES. PLEASE GET THE CODE HERE:

http://www.adobe.com/products/presenter/

TAKE A LOOK DOWN THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE PAGE AND SEE THE LINK THAT DISCUSSES CURRENT CUSTOMERS DESIRING THE UPDATE. THAT IS A COMPLETE DOWNLOAD OF PRESENTER. JUST HAVE YOUR SERIAL NUMBER HANDY.

TAKE NOTE:

1- ADOBE RECOMMENDS PRESENTER 7.07, ADOBE CONNECT 8.1.2, AND ADOBE CAPTIVATE 5.5 AS THE COMBINATION TRULY IS DESIGNED TO WORK GREAT TOGETHER

2. THERE IS A TRANSITION FROM ACTIONSCRIPT 2 TO ACTIONSCRIPT 3 IN THESE PRODUCTS AND THAT IS WHY WE RECOMMEND MAKING SURE YOU USE THESE VERSIONS FOR THE VERY BEST EXPERIENCE.

3. MANY VIDEO, AUDIO AND POWERPOINT ISSUES HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED WITH THIS COMBINATION

4. The new Adobe Connect Host Add-In for Mac OSX Lion is in testing mode and a release is due out very soon so stay tuned.
