Adds Over 300 Improvements, Now Available in Spanish AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 23
AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- REAL Software, creator of
REALbasic, a cross-platform development environment for Windows, Mac OS X and
Linux developers, began shipping REALbasic 2008 Release 4 today. This release
further focuses on REAL Software's commitment to improve stability and
reliability in REALbasic. REALbasic 2008 Release 4 includes over 300
improvements and 6 new features.
The new functionality in REALbasic 2008 Release 4 includes:
- Control Locking: Control Locking adds the ability to lock a control in
the IDE so it's position and size cannot be edited. This is useful for
positioning controls at design time on complex User Interface's to prevent
accidentally modifying the control.
- Tab Stops: Tab Stops allow users to specify controls to be skipped over
when tabbing through the user interface at runtime.
- Auto-adjust Tab Indexes: REALbasic can now automatically determine the
tab order for all controls.
- Warning System Updates: REALbasic now includes several new warnings, as
well as a new User Interface to set per-project preferences on what warnings
to receive.
- Constants in Declarations: The REALbasic compiler now allows the use of
constants and enumerations in declarations. For example, constants can now be
used as part of a method's optional parameter declaration or to define
enumeration values in terms of other constants.
- Codesign for Mac OS X Applications: Codesign enables developers to
digitally sign REALbasic applications. Digitally signed applications provide
greater security because the application can be traced back to the author. One
way this is used on the Mac is with Mac OS X Leopard Server. Applications
installed on Leopard Server must be authorized by the user each time they are
launched. Digitally signed applications need only be authorized once.
"This release further improves our compatibility with Mac OS X Leopard and
fixes a number of important issues for all platforms," commented Geoff
Perlman. "This release marks a milestone as the largest number of improvements
to REALbasic in any single release."
REALbasic 2008 Release 4 will be offered in Spanish for the first time.
REALbasic is also available in French, German, Italian, Chinese and Japanese.
