PureBasic 3.94d for MacOS X released

Hi folks,
We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of PureBasic for OS X (doesn't it sounds like a PR speak ?
). Well, it's here and seems to be stable enough for a first public release. The standalone and console debugger works as expected, and we have deactivated (for now) the integrated debugger, because of some stability issues. We have added icon support and many little bugs fixes since the last beta. Grab it while it's hot and don't hesitate to spread the word !
Enjoy,
The Fantaisie Software Team.

Mac OS X is well known for having the most beatuifull GUI on the Planet. And Purebasic now is part of it. I haven´t got the money for a Mac yet so how about a screenshot of the PB IDE running on Tiger. With some translucency and whatever looks nice

Here is a screenshot showing PureBasic running on Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger) on my Mac @ work. Here i'm just showing off a small utility i wrote for work to help us artists work out the stretch factor of rubber printing plates.
This progam is completely cross platform (No OS specific code) and is being executed using the 'Standalone Debugger'.

Is your utility cross compatible too?
I'm just wondering if it's really so easy to build something cross compatible

It is easy aslong as you don't use alot if different libs made by others. And offcourse you need to plan ahead before you start the work. And also keep in mind as you code...

Its easy to write cross platform code, just use native libraries which support all target machines (check the lib reference for this).
Heres me gushing about my experiences with the Mac OS version:

Yes like said before, crossplatform can be easy if you plan your software ahead of time, with what features and commands you will use, etc. Some features arent functional or have bugs in different OS versions and I think thats something fred will work on for pb 4.0
Just curious, does this macosx release have a Sprite3d lib?

Which bugs have been fixed since Beta 7?
I can't find a code that didn't work with Beta 7 and now works with 3.94 final!

Kale: thanks for the nice screenshot
drac: yes, Sprite3D lib is supported
J-The-Grey: there was many little things fixed (treegadget, buttonimagegadget, network crash, etc..), which code doesn't work ?

So when is the linux Sprite3d lib coming? Not to be pushy or anything. I just find it weird how it was implemented in this first.

It was implemented in OS X before linux because of some SDL limitation (you can't mix regular sprite command with opengl).

See? Fred is on the ball! Because of that sprite3d comment for macosx, I can now safely purchase a mac mini
All, thanks to Fred .. cheers!

Couldn't regular sprite commands be implemented using an OpenGL surface in SDL?
