10/05/2005 : PureBasic V3.94 (MacOS X - first version)
It's finally here ! It's the result of many months of hard work and we are very happy to present the OS X version of PureBasic. It is very complete, proposes native support of all PureBasic libraries and can be used either on the command line (for command line freaks) or via the provided IDE. There is even an optional support for GTK 1 and 2 to test the application look and feel with this API (when porting from OS X to Linux for example). Don't hesitate to play with it and reports any problems to http://forums.purebasic.com. Have fun!
