Mac : Les futures versions des plugins JW demanderont 10.7 au minimum Le sujet est résolu

[michelp]

Jari Williamsson, auteur des plug-ins JW, rappelle d'une part que la prochaine version de Finale nécessitera apparemment Mac OS Lion (10.7), et informe d'autre part les utilisateurs du Mac que les prochaines mises à jour de ses plug-ins (réalisées en version Cocoa) nécessiteront également 10.7 au minimum. La raison en est le support pour ARC, qui est apparu avec 10.7 (Ne me demandez-pas ce qu'est cet animal, je l'ignore, cela concerne sans doute les développeurs).
MAJ : Mais tout récemment, il ajoute dans sa newsletter qu'il va "essayer" de fournir en parallèle les versions "Carbon".

"Mac users:
You have probably already heard that the next Finale version will only work on OSX 10.7 and above. I just want to post a note here that when my plug-ins are going to be available in Cocoa versions, it's most likely that 10.7 is the lowest supported OSX version. The main reason for me is the support for ARC (added in 10.7).
Update : I'll try to continue to build the old Carbon builds as well."

Et plus récemment, il écrit :
" I've now completed the first step of my Cocoa porting of my PDK Framework on the Mac.
As I said earlier, OSX 10.7 will be required to run the plug-ins for Cocoa, but it will also mean lots of new possibilities. Now, the plug-ins can use the user interface potential of modern Macs (there are muuuuch more interesting controls that can be used in Cocoa compared to the old Carbon), instead of me having to work around pre-OSX technology.
Bugs in the Finale PDK related to plug-in windows and dialogs can be "fixed", since I now have the UI code.
Keyboard support for Cocoa is a huge difference to the old Carbon controls - plug-in windows can easily be designed with keyboard shortcuts etc, making it much easier to control the plug-in windows with macros.
If you have any thoughts about general things that could be improved in the plug-in windows for my plug-ins on the Mac side, let me know. It's much more likely that I can fix such things now than in the past."
