Executor FAQ - Section 4
Executor/NEXTSTEP


Question 4.1. Why hasn't there been an Executor/NEXTSTEP release in a while?

Several months ago, we revamped how Executor handles graphics internally. This broke our NEXTSTEP support, so we have not released a NEXTSTEP version in a while. Since we had to rewrite that part of Executor anyway, we spent some time looking into some NeXT tools that allow programs to implement very fast graphics.

NeXT has been helpful, and in the meantime we revamped our low-level graphics once more. This was done after receiving some help from NeXT, so our new mods are in keeping with what we'll be doing under NEXTSTEP.

Now that 1.99n is out, the NEXTSTEP port is the highest thing on Mat's to do list. We apologize for the repeated delay associated with this (re)port.
