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.
