News on Mac OS X?
[1/5] from: rgaither:triad:rr at: 3-Feb-2004 14:22
Hi All,
I'm wondering if there is any chance that we will see a
Mac OS X port of View sometime soon? Does anyone
have any insight to share on this? While I didn't get a
response to my last feedback on this from RT I did get
one back in April saying the release would follow a
general update to View. I'm hoping that the 1.3 project
is that update and that it will follow it "sooner" rather
than "later", though at this point I'm not optimistic. Of
course I'm not sure of the timetable for the 1.3 project
itself either so soon might still be six months away! :-(
I am both sympathetic to RT's situation and supportive
of their efforts. However, It has been a full year since
RT put out the "Support OS X" press release so I feel
inclined to grumble a bit.
Thanks, Rod.

No insight here, but I imagine a lot of folks are hoping the View 1.3
project is a sign of life for it. No official word from RT on it
though. There is still work to be done on 1.3, but not 6 months worth.

For what it's worth, I received this info from RT on January 21:

We are currently updating View. Once that project is complete we will begin porting
to Mac OSX. I regret that I can not give you a projected release date.

And I think OS X users are entitled to grumble a bit.

Thanks, that helps confirm my assumptions. At least
it is something to work from.

Yeah, but if it is 2-3 months for 1.3 and a few months
for the port it gets to 6 months out pretty easily.
I like the activity I see on 1.3, keep up the good work all.
Thanks, Rod.
