Platform

Edinburgh, Scotland. - June 2, 2006 - Runtime Revolution Ltd., a leader
in multi-platform rich media and application development tools, today
announced the release of Revolution 2.7.2, a Universal application
upgrade for its cross-platform development solutions that means the
entire Revolution product line now runs natively on Mac OS X version
10.4 "Tiger" equipped Intel-based Macs.

"As a leading provider of application development tools we are
excited about delivering advanced customer solutions that leverage the
speed and performance of Mac OS X and the Intel-based Macs," said
Kevin Miller, CEO of Runtime Revolution, Ltd. Macs. "There's clear
demand from our customers for this Universal version and creating it
was a relatively quick and easy process using Apple's Xcode and our
engineering talent."

"Xcode and other innovative Apple tools give developers the power to
easily create Universal versions of their most popular applications,"
said Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Developer
Relations. "We're thrilled to have Runtime Revolution deliver
Intel-native versions of its tools to join the more than 2000 Universal
applications now available for Intel-based Macs."

Of special interest to developers and designers that deploy
cross-platform solutions, the Revolution 2.7.2 update is available for
the entire product line, including Revolution Studio and Revolution
Enterprise. Revolution Studio and higher can compile applications for
the following platforms: Mac OS X (for both Power PC- and Intel-based
Macs), Windows, Linux and Solaris. Revolution Media ($49), a template
driven version especially for graphic designers that want to develop
rich, interactive media, is also updated.

The 2.7.2 update also includes improvements to the installation
process, accessing the online documentation system and small fixes for
the IDE and engine. Version 2.7.2 follows 2.7.1, which added over 50
minor improvements and updates to all products. Customers with current
update plans will receive the update for free - all users of Revolution
Media are entitled to a free upgrade. Update packs cost $199 (Studio),
and $499 (Enterprise) and are immediately available from the Runtime
Revolution site at http://www.runrev.com.

Any idea of a date for a *final* end user release with no bug
and no need to update$ and upgrade$ and update$ and upgrade$
every six monthes?

Something as simple and intuitive as Hypercard would be a bonus.

Hi Sylvain Bouju,

Although I am disappointed each time when a new version of
Revolution is released, because of the many bugs and the very
basic features that should work but don't, I don't think it is
reasonable to expect a bug-free version, ever.

Revolution is just too big a project to be bug-free. If you
don't plan to buy an update every year (a license is valid for
updates during one year after purchase), my advice would be to
do test each new release of Revolution very thoroughly. Buy it,
when you think that all esential features work properly.

When you decide not to buy it yet, write to support ad runrev
dot com and tell them why you haven't bought it yet. Also report
the bugs you have found to Bugzilla.

Best regards,

Mark
