Description

On August 1, 2011, Adobe announced the development of Edge as a new multimedia authoring tool to succeed the Flash platform for browser-delivered content, and released a preview version of the software, which was downloaded 50,000 times within 24 hours.[5]

Edge builds applications based on a foundation of HTML5, JavaScript, jQuery and CSS3. These applications are compatible with HTML5-compatible browsers.

On November 9, 2011, Adobe announced that it would no longer develop Flash for mobile browsers and was planning on developing new products with more open technologies and standards like HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS3. Flash and Adobe AIR would continue to support development of native apps (which do not run in a browser) on mobile platforms.[6]

On November 2015, Adobe announced that Edge Animate and the rest of the Edge suite was no longer being actively developed.[7]
