I saw this morning on Inside RIA that Adobe Air 2.0 will be released in the first quarter of 2010. The beta should be out before the end of the year.

This is very exciting news for me and my colleagues at work, since the application we are developing is based on Adobe Air.

It has a substantial amount of new features, and will be based on Flash player 10 using Flex 4.

Amongst the new features is support for IPv6 networking, UDP support, a DNS resolver to find out DNS information.

The biggest new feature for us though is the file promises API, which will enable you to drag and drop remote files seemlessly and easily, using URL streaming. Currently, Adobe Air only supports drag and drop on real local files.

The application will also have better performance, both in memory and CPU resources, which will make the applications run much better.
