Adobe has just announced that version 11 of Director will be available at the end of March, 2008. This new version will include support for Windows Vista and Macintosh computers with Intel processors, as well as thousands of bug fixes and dozens of new features.
Director 11 is the first major release of Director in more than 4 years, and the first release by Adobe. Several changes were made under the hood. Movies authored in previous versions of Director need to be converted in order to be used with Director 11. As far as Xtras are concerned, the new version uses Unicode strings internally and no longer supports older programming interfaces, so existing Xtras need to be adapted to work correctly with Director 11, Vista and MacOSX Tiger and Leopard.
Tabuleiro has been working with Adobe and pre-release versions of Director 11 in order to upgrade our products to work with Director 11 where technically possible, and we expect to have new versions of most Xtras available immediately after Director 11 is released. |
