Administrator Lite Posted December 12, 2011 Administrator Share Posted December 12, 2011 Microsoft has released version 5 of its Silverlight browser plugin and runtime environment. Among other new features, the 7-12MB download gives Silverlight developers a 3D API based on Direct3D, PostScript printing, hardware-accelerated H.264 video, and the ability to create "trusted" in-browser applications that can escape Silverlight's usual sandbox—something that previously required an out-of-browser application.The new version is available for Windows, where it supports Internet Explorer 7 or higher, Firefox 3.6 or higher, and Chrome 12 or higher, and Mac OS X, where it supports Firefox 3.6 or higher and Safari 4 or higher. For the first time, the plugin also has a 64-bit Windows version, allowing Silverlight to run in 64-bit Internet Explorer.
