OS X 3.91 beta next?

Post by USCode »

:?: With the Linux and Windows versions now in beta at 3.91, does that mean that an OS X beta is next? :D

3.91 feature set

Post by USCode »

Being the optimist that I am ... 8) Fred's post stated that it would be a 3.91 beta, which I assume means it will have the 3.91 feature set...
I guess we'll find out! Fred, any hints?

if i am not mistaken, arent OS and linux really similar at the core? so wouldnt it be reletively smooth to make the transitions?

Code: Select all

!.WHILE status != dwPassedOut
! Invoke AllocateDrink, dwBeerAmount
!MOV Mug, Beer
!Invoke Drink, Mug, dwBeerAmount
!.endw

On the surface it would initially appear so, unfortunately OS X and the PB-supported versions of Linux utilize different processors and as most of PB is written in assembler, it's pretty much a complete rewrite for Fred to support OS X. Not to mention the completely different GUI APIs, etc...

USCode: First, lets get these 2 beta goes gold before having an OS X 3.91 alpha :wink:. As MacOS X is mainly a linux, it will be based on the Linux commandset for the first releases, which means than the Linux and MacOS X should be 1:1. This also means than the better the Linux version, the better the MacOS X will be.

Nope - Linux version first please!

Nobody wants Bill's spyware anymore (and pay for new versions
and the spy tools every few years)... we are moving all to Linux now. ;)

After improving Linux and doing MacOS, an AMD64-Linux version is needed
to move forward and not stay here in the past.

(and PB becomes OpenSource, btw ;))

See you back next year. :P :wink:

Better do windows first, so when everybody has got the linux dabble-bug out of their systems they have something good to fall back on. :)

i think it would be better to finish off the 3D command set in the windows version first imo :P many people come to check it out (especially DBPro people) then leave when they see its very limited.

Not all, but most :) After finding out things are quite different here then the norm, it takes a very long time to get used to......
