REALbasic 2008 Release 3


REAL has posted Release 3 of REALbasic, its cross-platform development environment. The software provides object-oriented programming and a corresponding framework, and can also compile native executables for Mac, Windows and Linux systems. Release 3 introduces the Attributes language feature, and a new project analyzer which warns about deprecated functionality and other code issues.

Also new are an integrated performance profiler, the ability to add types within classes, and "several improvements" to the recent introspection component. The Mac version of REALbasic requires Mac OS X 10.3 or later, along with 1GB of RAM and a 1GHz G4 processor. A Personal Edition costs $100, while cross-platform deployment requires the $500 Professional Edition.

    Improved support?

    Does anyone know whether REAL's reliability has improved? It used to be that they announce features that were so bug-ridden that they were unusable, and then they would charge you for bug fixes that you helped them to achieve.

    I've had good luck

    I've been using this product for a while and I find it pretty stable. Whatever bugs I've encountered are just cosmetic things during code development. The final application I've built has been solid. I like their business model: you get automatic updates each quarter, so you basically pay for the current product plus 3 more quarterly updates. After that expires, you can renew or just stick with the last release you paid for. I highly recommend this product if you need to produce cross platform desktop apps.
