Current Version: 10.1.1.016 (March 15, 2006) / 11.5.7.609 (May 12, 2010)

Adobe's Shockwave Player is one of the most ubiquitous Web browser plug-ins, allowing you to view all kinds of nice interactive animations many people have produced for their Web sites. While not quite essential, this will make your Web browsing experience much more enjoyable.

Version 10.1.1.016 - the latest version for Mac OS 9 - addresses a security vulnerability.

Version 11.5.7.609 - the latest version for Mac OS X - adds support for Director 11.5, including new 5.1 surround sound, three new video formats, and import and dynamic translation of Google's popular SketchUp (skp) 3D format.
