Revolution 3.5 update

Runtime Revolution has released an update to its programming tool for professional data presentation on the Mac OS X, Revolution 3.5. Designed to provide application-creation capabilities on multiple platforms, users receive the tools necessary for manipulating images, sound, video and text, to create their desired program. Features in the software add data processing abilities that can be used to create graphs and reports, and offers a simpler way of programming by using the natural-language syntax. In the latest version users receive a new data grid object that enables more flexibility of any kind of data layout, and the addition of object-oriented behaviours, which is used to help enhance the speed and stability of the code. The company has redefined its RevOnline II, to help simplify sharing and browsing code with other users, and added over 100 bug fixes and minor enhancements.

The update also includes improvements made to the group object that enable it to support behaviours. Users can now prevent objects within a group from being selected with the mouse, and to redraw the contents of custom control before they are either shown on the screen or resized. With the use of behaviours, users can write data entry fields that restrict input, custom scrollbar objects, and calendar widgets. Lastly, new collaborative documentation has been added to the update.

Revolution 3.5 comes in three editions, Revolution Media priced at $50, Revolution Studio costing $250, and Revolution Enterprise at $500.
