Microsoft has released final version of Silverlight 5, its web browser plug-in for multimedia programs. Silverlight 5 supports for four web browsers including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome and Safari over Windows and Mac.
According to official blog:
“New features in Silverlight 5 include Hardware Decode of H.264 media, which provides a significant performance improvement with decoding of unprotected content using the GPU; Postscript Vector Printing to improve output quality and file size; and an improved graphics stack with 3D support that uses the XNA API on the Windows platform to gain low-level access to the GPU for drawing vertex shaders and low-level 3D primitives.”
