Current Limitations

- Opera falls back to use OperaShow; thus some extras (like the slide lister) are not available
- Gecko Engine driven Browsers need to reload after Window scaling (reflow bug)
- S5 1.3 is mostly untested on IE 6/7 (need help: because I do not own a Windump PC and will never do)
- S5 1.3 is still under development (weekly update)
Browser Limitations

setTimeout()) - Opera javascript->flash communication fails

Next Improvements
