[Updated] Announcing CoSolvent Player 1.1.1
This is a bugfix/documentation improvement release.

Changes include the following:

• fixed display issues with flv/avm2 logical items sharing assets
  
• fixed issues related to XML script activation with linked scripts across multiple items
  
• personal release bundle now includes sample code
  
• both releases now include the statically linked player version, as well as the flex framework RSLs need for non-static deployment
  

One major clarification with our release process:

We have now bundled two versions of the player. One is labeled as static. You'll note that the static version filesize is larger than the other. This is because the static version links in necessary flex framework classes at compile time, while the other version will attempt to locate these classes at runtime. The crucial point is, that if you are using the non-static version, you'll need to place the two framework runtime libraries on the server site root in the same location where you'd like to deploy the player. The non-static will give you the benefit that once a user's flash plugin has cached that version of the framework, the player will load quickly regardless of the state of their browser cache, however you'll need to test on a browser with a clean flash plugin install clear the Flash storage to be sure that the runtime shared libraries are being loaded properly. The non-static version is the only version that was distributed prior to this release. We are now also bundling the framework RSLs that you'll need for deployment of the non-static version.
