[svg-developers] Announcement: Adobe to Discontinue Adobe SVG Viewer
Adobe has decided to discontinue support for Adobe SVG Viewer. There are a number of other third-party SVG viewer implementations in the marketplace, including native support for SVG in many Web browsers. The SVG language and its adoption in the marketplace have both matured to the point where it is no longer necessary for Adobe to provide an SVG viewer. SVG is an established vector image format. Adobe currently supports SVG in several of its authoring and server products, including Illustrator, InDesign, GoLive, Version Cue, Graphics Server, FrameMaker, and FrameMaker Server. Adobe customer support for Adobe SVG Viewer will be discontinued on January 1, 2007.

[svg-developers] Re: Announcement: Adobe to Discontinue Adobe SVG Viewer
Jon, Thank you for your thoughtful email. Adobe is collecting feedback on this announcement, and the decision makers are considering the points that you and others have made.

[svg-developers] Adobe extends ASV download availability indefinitely
In response to customer feedback, Adobe has extended download availability once again for Adobe SVG Viewer. Adobe does not currently have plans to remove Adobe SVG Viewer from the Adobe.com download area. Adobe recognizes that customers have built Web applications that depend on ASV being available for download, and although Adobe does not plan to develop ASV further, we plan for the existing versions to be available for download as long as our customers rely on them.

Does it mean that now Adobe will keep improving ASV? Domenico, Unfortunately not. The only thing that has changed with this announcement is that Adobe Customer Support will field support cases for the existing Adobe SVG Viewer for an additional year, until January 1, 2009. There will be no further releases of Adobe SVG Viewer.

There was a bug in the Adobe SVG Viewer Windows installer which prevented installation on Windows XP systems even when the user had administrator privileges. In this case the installer incorrectly identified the user as not being an administrator. This bug existed in Adobe SVG Viewer installers 1.0 through 3.01, and 6.0 PR1. This bug was fixed in the Adobe SVG Viewer 3.02 installer, which is available here: http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/ > > Can anyone confirm that it should be part of the Acrobat Reader > install? If so perhaps I can raise a stink and get them to fix it. We would be happy to receive feedback on how we can make the Adobe Reader more useful to you.

Unfortunately the EULA for Adobe SVG Viewer does not permit this.

[svg-developers] Adobe SVG Viewer 3.03 for Windows
Adobe has just released Adobe SVG Viewer 3.03 for Windows. Version 3.03 of Adobe SVG Viewer is an update provided by Adobe to fix a potential secuirty risk on Windows computers. In addition, the ActiveX control has been signed in order to allow users to avoid the ActiveX security warning introduced with Windows XP Security Pack 2. Adobe SVG Viewer 3.03 addresses a potential security risk in the ActiveX control whereby a malicious web page could determine whether or not a file with a particular name exists on the user's computer. However, the contents of the file could not be viewed via this vulnerability, and directory listings could not be obtained. Adobe recommends that users of Adobe SVG Viewer 3.02 or earlier upgrade to Adobe SVG Viewer 3.03. It is available for download here: http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/ Pat Lewis Adobe Systems - To unsubscribe send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" Yahoo!

This can happen in certain situations when the user has a dual-boot system with two flavors of Windows. Please make sure you uninstall previous versions of Adobe SVG Viewer from both operating systems before trying to upgrade.
