PureBasic 6.30 beta 3 is ready !

Thanks Fred and team. Will PB 6.30 release support Metal so one can compile games that use the InitSprite() And OpenWindowedScreen() commands run on macOS Tahoe using the latest SDK since OpenGL is no longer supported?

[Fred]

Is OpenGL no more supported at all ? We removed the call to old AGL framework so it should be OK.

I compiled a game I wrote that uses InitSprite() And OpenWindowedScreen() and other related commands against the latest macOS SDK and it beach balls on a Tahoe VM. I will try it on a real install of Tahoe to see if it it hangs there too. It runs fine on Sequoia and lower versions. I'll report back later. Thank you.

From the source : https://discourse.slicer.org/t/apple-to ... ojave/3075 was Apple to deprecate OpenGL in OSX 10.14 Mojave.

Deprecate <> not working.

Sure but soon they will remove later I think, AGL is not more in SDK only OpenGL is in SDK : https://developer.apple.com/documentati ... ease-notes

I just tested it on a real instance of Tahoe and it works. Issue resolved! Thank you.

Yes, you are confused with AGL and OpenGL which are 2 different things. Nothing is written in the release note about OpenGL deprecation.

My game on Mac OS/X Tahoe now working perfectly, Thanks Fred

Oh well sorry about that, I was thinking AGL is another lib of OpenGL but you are right is different !

Just because the announcement was made today doesn't mean that everything was built today. All files for version 6.3b3 on MacOS are dated October 1.
