100,000 REALbasic Developers Gain Fast Path to Intel Support
AUSTIN, Texas, USA (October 4, 2006) REAL Software, provider of
REALbasic,
cross-platform that really works, announced that REALbasic 2006
Release 4 is
shipping today. REALbasic now enables more than 100,000 REALbasic
users to
build Universal Binaries for Mac OS X. A Universal Binary is a Macintosh
executable that runs natively on both PowerPC and Intel-based Macs.
"There is no faster way to convert an existing Mac application to a
Universal Binary -- just click a checkbox," stated Geoff Perlman,
president
and CEO of REAL Software. "With more than 100,000 REALbasic developers
worldwide, the Mac community can expect a wave of new Universal Binary
applications in the coming months."
In addition, REALbasic itself is now a Universal Binary, which yields
much
higher performance on Intel-based Macs. In most cases, REALbasic 2006
Release 4 compiles more than twice as fast than the previous release
when
running on Intel.
REALbasic 2006 Release 4 also includes:
· Cross-platform toolbars: Allows developers to design one
toolbar and
use it on all three platforms.
· Large file support: Removes the 2 GB limit on files and binary
streams, enabling REALbasic applications to work with files of any size.
· Check for errors: Finds errors in your code without building an
application.
· Currency datatype: Intended for financial data, this new datatype
improves parity with Visual Basic.
· Extended 64-bit integer support: Bitwise, Database operators and
Memory Blocks now support 64-bit integers.
· Improved reliability: This release includes over 100 fixes and
improvements to existing features.
This release also includes two new features exclusive to REALbasic
Professional Edition:
· Database Encryption: REAL SQL databases now support AES 256
encryption.
· New SSL Socket: The SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) Socket has been
rewritten and now supports switching to and from secure mode on
demand. It also supports secure listening, which is required for
SSL-enabled servers.
