color-profile

On the SVG developers' mailing list, Michael Bierman announced the release
and highlighted other new features:
Adobe SVG Viewer now has its own built-in script engine. This
allows self-contained JavaScript scripts to run inside of SVG files embedded
in hosts which don't support a bridge between plug-ins and the host script
engine, including Internet Explorer on the Mac.
The Windows ActiveX control may now be invoked in a transparent
mode which allows you to overlay SVG on top of other web page content. To
invoke Adobe SVG Viewer in this mode, add the attribute wmode="transparent"
to the embed tag.
Added the ability to save as compressed SVG (.svgz).
