The Adobe Flash Player just closed out the year with another clump of bug fixes; nineteen were released today. The requisite articles have started to appear, but none will be like this one. Taking a step back, I’m offering some perspective.

For the year, Flash averaged 6.1 bug fixes per week. Think of it as a bug fix every day, but taking Sundays off to rest.

There was a flood of fixes at the end of the year. From mid-October on, Adobe fixed 113  bugs, roughly 1.5 per day.

The final tally for 2015 is 316 Flash Player bugs. This, for software that is over 18 years old.
