This is based on the latest commit.
0.8.7
This release includes binary installers for Windows (for 32 and 64 bit) .

For installing the plugins, see https://github.com/lightspark/lightspark/wiki/Getting-Lightspark-up-and-running-in-Web-Browser
The currrent releases of Chrome and Firefox have removed support for the flash plugin completely, so the lightspark plugins will only work on older releases or alternative browsers.
Changes:
* implement DefineScalingGrid tag
* switch to 32bit float audio sampling for standalone player and remove SDL2_mixer dependency
* improved support for AVM1 swf files
* implement "erase" blendmode
* use nanoVG for bitmaps in fillstyles
* improved support for morphshapes
* improved support for adpcm encoded sounds
* add garbage collection mechanism for less memory usage
* better overall compatibility for many swf files
* several performance improvements

Changes:
- implement support for GIF images (single image GIFs only)
- add commandline parameter (--fullscreen) to start lightspark in fullscreen mode
- add commandline parameter (--scale ) to start lightspark with a scaled window (useful for 4k screens)
- embed nanovg for faster rendering of large vector graphics
- less memory usage
- partial support for loading AIR extensions by command line parameter
- improved support for Stage3D
- remove dependency on gettext (we don't have any strings that need translation anyway)
- partially implement some Adobe AIR classes in flash.filesystem
- implement DefineButtonSound tag
- always enable local storage when running standalone executable
- local storage files (*.sol) are saved in same format as adobe, so saved data from adobe can be used in lightspark (and vice versa)
this means that saved data from older versions of lightspark is not compatible with this version! - improved support for background workers
- implement streaming of dynamically created audio samples
- add environment variable LIGHTSPARK_RANDOM_SEED to seed random number generator with constant value (useful for debugging)
- implement all filters except ShaderFilter
- full support for MorphShapes
