Adobe Flash Player remains a must-have solution for everyone out there who wants to access rich multimedia content online, so every single update that's being released should be installed by the majority of users out there.

Adobe today rolled out an update for the beta build, which is available for everyone who wants to try out the new Flash Player version before it hits the market in stable form, so if you'd really want to see what's coming next for Adobe's famous client runtime, this is the version you should try.

The parent company hasn't provided too many details about what's changed in Adobe Flash Player 14.0.0.122 Beta, but it's safe to assume that as compared to the previous build, it's mostly focused on fixing bugs and addressing performance issues that could affect the overall stability of the program.

This means that all users who have previous installed the beta build should get the new one as soon as possible, especially in case they've been experiencing issues with the older versions.

As you could easily guess, this new beta build is specifically addressed to more experienced users and those who know how to diagnose a bug and report it to Adobe, so consumers who instead prefer a bug-free experience that's stable and secure should get the original build that's also available for download on all supported platforms.

Even though it's in beta, this new Flash Player version works with the most commonly-used browsers on the market, including Internet Explorer 6.0 and above, Mozilla Firefox 3.0 and above, Google Chrome, Safari 4.0 and above and Opera 9.5 and above.

As far as the stable build of Flash Player is concerned, a new build is expected on June 10 when Adobe is going to release an updated version comprising security updates and fixes aimed at all platforms.

Adobe has synchronized its patch cycle with Microsoft's very own Patch Tuesday rollout, so the two companies are now fixing issues found in their products during the second Tuesday of each month. For Internet Explorer 10 and 11 users, Microsoft is the one patching Flash Player bugs, also via Windows Update, as Adobe's solution is implemented directly in the browser for a more streamlined patching process.

Overall, there's no doubt that this beta build could come in handy to those who are trying to see what's next for Adobe's client runtime solution, so download Flash Player 14.0.0.122 Beta right now to give it a try.
