Hey again!
Along with releasing Flash Player 11.2 / AIR 11.2 and publishing information about premium futures, Adobe updated their roadmap for the Flash runtimes today and revealed many awesome features coming to us this year!
Just look at this quick copy-paste:
Flash Player “Cyril”
Following the Flash Player 11.2 release, Adobe plans to do another release, code-named “Cyril”, which is targeted for a release in the second quarter of 2012.
Some of the features being planned:

Awesome, isn’t it?
Flash Player “Dolores”
Adobe is planning an additional Flash Player release in the second half of 2012. Code-named “Dolores”.
Some of the features being planned:
- ActionScript workers (enables concurrent ActionScript execution on separate threads)
