The SVG Team at Adobe is happy to announce that Adobe SVG Viewer 3.0 is now available for download from http://www.adobe.com/svg. The new viewer better supports the SVG 1.0 specification and adds much-requested developer features:

Elements and attributes

Support for the following elements: color-profile, marker, title, and view; full support for the switch element; support for the general requiredFeatures and systemLanguage attributes; the image element now supports links to SVG files.

CSS properties

Support for the following CSS properties: color-interpolation-filters, color-profile, marker, marker-end, marker-mid, marker-start; support for the @media CSS rule, and the media attribute for style elements. The values all, screen, and print are supported.

DOM support

Support for the SVGMatrix class; support for the getCTM, getElementsByTagNameNS, and getBBox methods.

Modify contextual menus

Contextual menus can now be modified by the developer for more customized applications.

Internal script engine

The new script engine allows self-contained JavaScript scripts to run inside SVG files embedded in hosts that don't support a bridge between plug-ins and the host script engine, including Internet Explorer on the Mac.

Worldwide distribution

Adobe SVG 3.0 Viewer will be available in 15 languages and is distributed with Adobe Acrobat Reader.
