“We have just posted a new public beta of the Adobe(r) Integrated Runtime (AIR) (formerly code-named Apollo) to the Adobe Labs site.

We also have announced the final name, which is Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR).”

 

In addition to having support for creating Adobe AIR applications using HTML, JavaScript, Adobe Flex(r), and Adobe Flash(r) software, the beta release includes a number of new features:

 

- Transparent HTML application support

- Windowing API improvements

- Native File Pickers / Browsers

Also, take note:

 

“Important: If you are having trouble installing an AIR application and you previously installed the Apollo alpha, the Apollo alpha must be uninstalled before installing the Adobe AIR beta.”
