           Summary: support newer NPAPI so Lightspark will load
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Plug-ins
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: adam at yorba.org


I found that the current release of Lightspark (0.7.2) won't load in a browser running WebKitGTK 2.0.1.  I ran in a debugger to see what was going on.  Lightspark uses a newer version of NPAPI (NP_VERSION_MINOR = 27), while in WebKit we have NP_VERSION_MINOR = 24.  Lightspark declines to load since it sees that the function table passed to it from WebKit is shorter than its own function table - this happens in fillNetscapeFunctionTable() in np_entry.cpp in Lightspark.

Now, it would be nice if Lightspark were more compatible with older NPAPI versions, and I'll file a bug there too.  But on the WebKit end it certainly would be nice to support the latest NPAPI, i.e. NP_VERSION_MINOR = 27.
